I still clean guns in my garage. I move the cleaning mats onto the workbench and have at it. At the County range where I do my triannual qualifications there is a large cleaning area, but the cleaning area is usually a shambles. Sadly, with roughly 2,200 officers and deputies through there to qualify every four months the people who use the cleaning area leave rods and jags broken, cleaning patch drawers left empty, oil bottles are missing, no one has Hoppes, etc. I save the headache and load back up after qualifying and drive home to do it with my stuff.
My garage is an attached 3-car, double deep on one side... two cars fit in the front and my tools and other stuff occupies the deep portion. Sadly I’m getting squeezed in what’s left of my remaining man cave, with the kids motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, etc now occupying the center of what was my patch of solitude.
The reloading bench is on the other side, nestled between the metal shelving units that hold my ammo and metal shelving that holds a variety of stuff like soda pop, outdoor chair cushions, batteries, light bulbs and the crock pots and electric griddle. I must admit I am seriously waiting for the bench to collapse under the weight of LOTS of bullets I have purchased in the past 8 months
.
I’m able to shuffle stuff and get room to load...in fact I think Im going to assemble several dozen .38 wadcutter loads tomorrow before the in laws descend on the house for Christmas Eve... and If I have enough time, some Eggleston Munitions 200 gr coated .44 mag loads as well

Stay safe!
