Loading bench upgrades

I have my powder dispenser across the room at a separate station on it's own table. I think the wall mount is not the best option. I walk from my seating station to the powder dispenser. By the time I get there, it's done unloading the powder in the tray. I get more exercise walking back and forth with no way to screw up my operation or make a mistake. I can't sit down. I got to keep moving and keep every operation separated.

When I remodeled my reloading room, I put 4-prong outlets every 48 inches. Every other one is on a separate circuit from the breaker box. My scales are across the room as well.
 
After load development ( powder ), I have powder loading sessions into vials. I rarely anneal, size, trim, throw powder, and seat bullets in one session, or even on the same day. With one exception, the 338 Lapua Imp., my vials are not big enough, and I don't shoot it often enough to buy vials for it.

Regards

Bench looks good Getreal!

I recently built a shelf above my bench too, but it was to get everything else off the bench(tools, paper towels, rubber gloves, etc). I Also mounted a cup holder and a small cup to put my pens, markers, etc in. This cleared up the bench pretty well, although my bench is small so it doesn’t take much to clutter it up.
For my dispenser, lately I will drop a bunch of powder then do the seating in a separate stage, or put the dispenser on a separate table beside the bench. My bench is not screwed to the wall cause it is a temporary bench, so it does cause issues if using them all on the bench at the same time.

To get the powder dispenser off the bench and avoid the vibrations while i'm loading:
i have a seperate bench for my AD thats close to my load bench. PM is on load bench so it doesnt affect scale. i dont like bending over across the bench to reach the scale like that. hurts the back. Id sure never be able to get my loading bench that clean and organized.

4 prong outlet? I’m lost unless you have 220V everywhere
