I haven't been doing it for long, but if you keep your area clean you'll be ok... if you have bare floors, I would not sweep away from the furnace and hot water heater.

Not trying to stray too far off topic, we used to take .22 rimfire and pry the bullet out, then tap the casing on the sidewalk to make a little trail of powder, light it and listen for the primer in the casing to go pop. It would launch the shell casing into the yard. We always stood behind the open end of the casing and back a ways.

No, we didnt' use plyers on the shell casing, just on the bullet, that way we didn't put any pressure on the casing and primer.

Well, it's arrived. went out today and oh the money I've spent. bought a tumber, digital powder scale, measuring calipers, realoading books, 500 45 acp bullets, 1000 large pistol primers and powder of course. luckily, i've been saving my brass lately from the range time. lol

Basements tend to be damp.
Run a dehumidifier.
This also keeps out pill bugs (sow beetles).
Install outlets every three feet especially anywhere you are going to have a work bench.
Do not install any less than four-hole outlets, anywhere.
Put in twice as many lights as you will need. Make sure they are shop lights. Have one directly above your loading bench.
A refrigerator in the basement is often a good thing as well.
A set of shelves (think shelving unit only better made) is useful for organizing dies, brass, powder, primers and reloading books.
Other free advice available on request.
(Caveat: Free advice is sometimes worth the price paid)

Try to buy a remnant piece of vinyl flooring (solid color ) that will fit your area. Makes clean-up a lot easier should you drop any powder.

Your biggest issues will be the dust from your tumbler, I take mine outside to empty the casings, that and old primers on the floor if you have small kids around. Dampness can cause issues as well.

You should be fine with that but I would reccomend you do not do your tumbling of brass down there in order to keep lead levels down.
