My early Covid lock down home improvement was turning my reloading corner into a reloading room. The bench with the presses and the plywood wall behind it were there, as was the safe. Everything else, to include the wall with sliding barn door, the structure around the safe, the bench next to it, and the drop ceiling are new.
Another question. I want to reload 9mm ammo for my Ruger9mm carbine and my Glock 19. Could anyone recommend a powder brand and any Details to help me get started thanks again
Check out the sticky thread in this subforum on known good pistol loads:

You're going to find availability of components and equipment to be difficult right now, though.
Built this with the Eastwood Shop Table kit and cedar lumber. The bench top is a solid wood door from Lowe's and the shelves are 2x12s mounted on 1" iron pipe stands. The bottom shelve holds 8- "Fat Fifty" on each side. It is a mixture or Redding and RCBS.
My reloading space is much too cluttered to post a pic at this time. After years of having my reloading gear in an outbuilding that wasn't climate controlled and subjected my dies and such to minor, but annoying rust issues, I moved everything indoors to my "man cave". I have an L-shaped bench with over hanging shelving that has my Dillon 550 and a Redding T-7 turret press, as well as an RCBS bench priming tool and a few digital powder measures. I have a Redding powder measure mounted on the shelving above the bench. I also have a central island bench, like a kitchen island but taller, that I have a Forster/Bonanza Co-Ax press and a Lyman Ideal C press mounted. I also have a vice for gun-smithing duties mounted on the island. My ceilings are only 8 ft and I'd be challenged to use a case or bullet feeder, though probably not impossible. Bulk ammo I load on my 550, but I only charge and bullet seat on it. Precision ammo I reload on my Redding T-7 or F/B Co-Ax. I de-prime cases before cleaning on either the Co-Ax or Lyman Ideal C. I also resize on the Co-Ax, for the most part, except for precision rifle loads I resize on my Redding T-7 press.. I do most of my case cleaning in a Frankfort Arsenal wet tumbler with SS pins. I do have an old Dillon vibratory case cleaner with walnut shell media, but I rarely use it anymore. I do my priming mostly with the RCBS bench primer or for precision loads I prime with a Sinclair hand priming tool. I tend to process my brass in stages and load accordingly.
