    An envious room to load and play in. Add a sink, coffee maker, and a toilet; and I could live in it! LOL

    The shelves are just 2x12's. Super simple and very strong. I originally planned to make the shelves 18" deep, but they would have taken much longer to build.

    The extinguisher will eventually be mounted somewhere, but I haven't decided where yet.

    2X10 or 2X12 would be fine for me. what spacing are your holes and how did you do them? You said you used pins, but it looks like standard shelf hardware from the picture.

    Holes are spaced 2" apart (I was going to do 1", but that was a ton of holes and I didn't figure I needed that much adjustability) and I just drilled them with a regular drill. I used a carpenter's square to make sure they were spaced evenly. I used shelf pins like these:

    Hi ten how about coming over and helping me get mine in line. Your organize skills looks a little netter then mine.

    I've seen your shop and I want no part of trying to organize it.



    How do you have a reloading room with only ONE press? It's just not right....


    Even if that one press will load 1800 rounds per hour without me having to pull the handle? Oh, I also still have my little Lee Classic Turret press, but I can't remember the last time I used it.

    I'm still (slowly) working on unpacking boxes and organizing my shelves. I also added some curtains to keep the clutter out of plain view.

    Thanks for sharing your reloading room set-up. Very nice. Here are a few images of mine. I forgot to take note of my specs when I laid it out.

    LoL...mine might be similar to Rooster's

    The more I look at TennJeep1618's counter top the more I think I got to get me some.
    Might look good on some of this old bank under counter I have.

    Most important thing to know about modern cabinetry is that it's actually pretty easy.
    Those big assembled boxes you buy in Home Depot & Lowe's & online retailers are sent to
    their assemblers Flatboxxed...and that's where the average Joe can save a bundle.

    Find a wholesaler that sells the flat boxed cabinets, unassembled.
    They are all made so that any minimum wage moron can assemble them in
    very little time & effort...pre-made corner assembly brackets & all.
    And this is for REAL WOOD, not that pressboard junk that'll expand in Florida Humidity.

    Anyway, it's far less expensive to assemble yourself, almost idiot proof, and
    if you plan out the cabinet sizes properly, it's Custom Cabinetry for Cheap!


    Only other thing anyone needs besides a table saw to make cabinets themselves
    out of furniture grade plywood is a Kreg Jig. Worth every penny :)
    Measure twice, cut once!
