Was good with shelving until I got tired of re-stacking die sets and the collection of data, old proof targets & reference material kept infringing. Was fortunate in already having another ancillary bench making the short end of an 'L'. Then my CFO spotted a monster sale on a decent roll-away set (mechanics type) and said, "you oughta get that so your area looks a bit more civilized down there."

Split them up & the bottom part takes care of protecting additional scopes & other longish boxes. The top went on the short bench and has been perfect for keeping die sets organized in the drawers; the 1/2 width top drawer is perfect for things I reach for all the time (e.g., caliper, borescope, stuff like that). Non- brand name versions of these setups are cheap & really clean up the area.

The other thing done (again, a find by the bride of several decades) was an island area with some storage underneath. On this island is a permanent setup with a Dillon loading a single caliber that is high production, again leaving the bench clear for single-stage work, bullet sorting, etc. Anything in a reloading area, imo, that minimizes distraction is a step toward preventing being "that" guy.

For those who haven't been using one long, the note about flourescents on your electronic scale is worth heeding. Also, if the whole room isn't controlled, humidity can manufacture weight swings while you watch - zero often.
