So with having moved into the world of progressive reloading, I'm sort of struggling with the bench layout I have now and need to reorg the space.
- The wife is pretty adamant about not bolting anything into the walls, so I need to stick with a very solid free standing design.
- I'd like something that is somewhat modular, so if I change my interests, I can adjust it as I go.
- Storage is at a premium.. I seem to have stuff poking out of every nook and cranny on my bench now.
- I do all my brass cleaning out in the garage, so no need to have it here.
- The funny opening on the left is the dog door... so have to leave that area clear.
Here's the base units I'm thinking about using:

I had a chance to check them out this weekend and they are REALLY sturdy with the non-wheeled feet. No wobble at all, even with a light top on them. I figure with a heavy duty butcherblock top on them, and some side/back panels added, they should be solid. I'll probably bolt the units together using some spacers, as well as using the top to connect the bases.
Here's my layout so far:
The bench on the left side will be my utility bench. The big cabinets on the right are 6' storage units I found that I like. Should provide a lot of space.
Thoughts? Any issues with the layout before I start assembling the parts? I'd appreciate any input folks have, as it's a whole lot easier to fix it when it's pixels.
