It's far too clean!  Looks like a great set up to me!

Yup one. Use the dang thing to reload some ammo and it won't look so unused.

Put your Powder/Powder storage on a different shelf across the room.
 
Then only have the powder your using at the time on the bench or within reach of the bench. It's a real simple habit and a simple way to keep it safe man,, ;)
 
I don't worry much about primers, they's easy to keep out of the way and in safe storage, but at my house the Powder is even in a different room, 1 can at a time on the bench.
 
(I actually found that tip on this forum some time back and poo-pooed the idea until I one time found myself loading H4895 in stead of the intended Varget,  :o )
found elsewhere

Unbelieveable< what a great job you have done in organizing.  Come over to my house and do mine, and especially, keep me from burying it again.  Every time I try to organize it, it takes only a few uses for it to become a disprganized mess.

Like your setup but I favor cabinets.  How often do you have to dust everything that is in the open?  My tumbler could make enough walnut shell dust to give you an hours worth of dusting.  Have to admit thougth, you have a nice shop.
I'd rather load than shoot.  Get more relaxation from loading.

Very nice!  My reloading bench looked like that once.....now it's all cluttered!
My only suggestion would be to get rid of the incadescent light bulb and get a flourescent or at least a lamp with a protective cover.  If the bulb shatters for what ever reason, the hot filaments could drop onto your bench, possibly into an open container of powder.
 
Slim chance, but there is a chance.  I've heard of it happening before.

Buy lots more powder, bullets and brass.  If you have all your guns licked, as to loads, then buy more rifles..... ;D
