How do you manage the clutter in your man cave with respect to all of the doo-dads? For example, AMP should collets, Giraud collets/cutters, case gauges, etc.?

I had thought about using the something like the Evergreen 56 boxes. Looking for a decent way to manage this.

Cabinets and Drawers! :p I don't have much workbench space, so I've got to have places for everything and everything in its place.

I manage clutter by minimizing the amount of "stuff" I really need. I must confess, I am obsessed with minimizing stuff. I have high quality tools but only the ones I really need to produce safe, reliable, and accurate (for my purposes) reloads.

With that said, on paper, I drew a schematic of the storage space I need, designed a shelving unit accordingly to efficiently access the "stuff" and built a custom-made unit.

It has worked to perfection. Equipment / tools are stored at the rear / in front of the reloading table on the shelving unit, out of the way of my workspace. Powder and primers are storge on a shelf under the table assuring I only have one powder at a time on top of the bench. Old farts have to have a failsafe system. The only equipment I have mounted on the bench is the press and powder measure.
 
I use plastic bins from Harbor Freight. I made my own rack that is more compact without the top compartment but this is the idea:
