[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 2103109, member: 69799"] Congrats on making a reloading space for yourself! Good comments so far. A few things I've noticed about about what I've done in my reloading space: Electrical outlets - can't have too many. I've got several brass prep centers, two dry tumblers, two wet tumblers, and a dryer. It gets a little tiring moving things back and forth all the time for my two outlets. A separate table for scales/powder is nice since since having it on the same table as my decapping setup can cause it to move around. I reload a lot of used NATO brass, and it can take some muscle to get those old primers out. I've seen things move around on the table when decapping. Water - it would be great to have a sink in my reloading area. I just started using the Franklin Arsenal wet tumbler, and I have to walk it out of my basement (over my brand new carpet) and into the guest bathroom's bathtub to drain and rinse. Not my wife's favorite part of reloading. Dehumidifier - I bought a large dehumidifier from Lowe's and have it plugged in 24/7 at 45%. I snaked the drain hose to a drain in the floor so I never have any water leaks. It has made a big difference in the humidity level. Lighting - I bought 3 of the Wal Mart brand LED 36" lights. The single lightbulb outlet in the ceiling just wasn't cutting it. I bought the overhead lights that can plug into each other, so I have the entire length of my reloading area covered. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
