RELOADING BENCH PICTURES

Just barely fits.

Nice! Looks like you got that monitor program for it also...does that feed bullets on it?

Those automate it so you don't need to do anything, is that right?

Is that at the shop? Very nice!

You're overdue for a meetup!

monitor program... just checks digital sensors to report when something is low?

If so, wouldn;t an LED do the same thing as a monitor? Surely it has to do more, rather than just report on digital sensors.

Its pretty much a completely automated reloading machine. You don't need to pull he handle just add powder,primers,cases, bullets and hit go. it will make anywhere from 900-1800 rounds an hour.

Right now I just have it set up to deprime cases

Doesn't that drum automate the press? I thought those actually fully automate the Dillons.

EDIT: found it on youtube.

got it. Pretty nifty. And very surprisingly compact.

Reloading Shop, begin digging rocks...


Footings



Actually had to do some amateur blasting here, enormous boulder at back, I first tried non-explosive DEX-Pan but it requires minimum 1 1/2" holes and I only got two out of a $121.00 Bosch bit (super hard rock the size of a truck right at back) so what I did was just use some pyrodex and cleared just enough to get a 2x6 over it in the back, drilled a bunch of 5/8" holes and epoxied dowels in, it aint going anywhere...

Concrete done!
9 yards of concrete in footings/stem walls + 6 yards for slab this is getting expensive!


First floor walls yey!

2nd floor joists:

trusses begin; I made them all but too big to tip by myself, had to hire a helper for roof more $$$, Also made colar ties too low, will fix later for more headroom on 2nd floor (loft really)

Roof nail passed begin drying in!

Siding nearly complete

Will start roofing this weekend

In about a month, I hope to be be sniping some of the nice looking reloading bench ideas in this thread! My goal is to try and be half as organized as some of you!

Here's mine:

I'm just looking at the background in all the photos. It was a thread about a building?

You sir, live in God's country. We could all be so lucky.

[Falstaff]

Thats why I put so many windows!
During the Butte fire I thought I was going to lose it all...
Here's Day 1 of that fire, just got home from work, went out to do some work on the shop saw this:

Looked really close, but that was about 20miles as the crow flies, Saturday night following that Thursday, that whole horizon behind me was orange as dawn at 0200....

Here's mine:

I like how you rabbeted the plywood into the 2x4 rails, I'll be copying that!

Sweet building!

Sweet building!

I had to make it "cute" for my sweethart, I love 12/12 roofs, major pain to work on but they NEVER leak! PLus I had to match the house. For anyone interested,

Here's my first reloading shed (10X12) at my last house- definitely NOT in God's Country...Very small backyard compared to my new digs. And it had to be uber "cute" to pass muster due to proximity to house... Anyway, I looked at tough sheds and even an 8x10 was like 3k, I built this one for about 7. Which seems expensive but, I build them to a very high standard- footings, holddowns, slab, 3 coat stucco with firring nails NOT self firring paper lath. It will last a lifetime I just hate seeing crappy buildings rotting after a just a few years, mine will last a lifetime.
