I keep my powder (about 5 lbs) in a wood cabinet under my bench. My primers are four feet away in a cubby above my bench. I like to think that's safe enough for storage, but now I'm wondering if my powder should be stored elsewhere and not an an enclosed storage space. Then again, if it blew up, the doors would open right out. I can't imagine it's any more dangerous in the very, builder's thin wood cabinet I pulled out of my kitchen when renovating.
