You finally get around to clean up the loading bench and shelves and when finished, you see that you just moved things around?

You just now noticing that phenomenon? Happens all the time.

Not really. I guess what probably made me notice more this time, was that I had an empty box I could throw out

My theory is it just proves you really didn't want to clean it up in the first place.

you need more space! my gun closet gets like that then i just throw out crap i know i never will use.

She.......... only allows just so much space..........









I get part of the living area

It gets worse when you start building muzzle loaders.

i see the problem. You need shelving on those walls.

I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe a couple cupboards on the walls.
I have one table in my gun room that looks like someone dumped a 5 gallon bucket of shooting stuff on it.
Then I have my Tipton gun vise and my bow press on a smaller table that is on wheels so I can roll it around.
The table (actually an old TV stand) has shelves that hold my tools and cleaning supplies. Three 30" wall cabinets for my bullets, manuals, smokeless powder and more cleaning solvents and oils. A shelf under them for all my dies and reloading tools.
All my BP, Subs, and loaded ammo is stored in labeled ammo boxes. Then another 36"x72" cabinet for more loaded ammo and another of the same size for misc. articles like binos, gun parts etc.

The rest is in the other building........
