Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 This thread has been interesting. Hubby is fairly neat. Maybe I'll take more photos when he has it warm in there. One thing I don't understand is this. How many grinders does a person need? (The Hardie board and paint are no longer in there.) BTW, he has three 650s and a metal lathe.

Michigan Slim Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 The one on the far left is set up for buffing. The others are for differing shapes and angles. Careful Allie. He might see this and get one more just to prove a point! Or mount them on your countertops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, he has three 650s and a metal lathe. I only see one grinder there--the rest are (in order) a buffer, belt/disc sander combo, disc sander, grinder, wire wheel and another polisher. Yep, just one grinder! Maybe you can get him another next Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 No, I won't buy him any tools. I just pay the bills. This month it was a $6000 trencher and he's picking up a wench tomorrow. The sad part is he has to pay someone help him use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our reloading rooms probably shouldn't be advertised, it might scare off prospective shooters. I don't even want to think about the nice new motorcycle sitting on my reloading bench!

Marshal Chance Morgun Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Lee Precision says to match your reloading presses to your needs. So I have a Black and Decker Workmate. Took off the planks and replaced with 2x6's. Bolt on a Lee 4 hole turret for 1,500 each pistol and rifle for the year, then place Lee with Mec SizeMaster and reload 300 shotgun. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 My dad decided he wanted to reload for his .38... ONE gun... and I doubt he ever loaded even 500 rounds, but anyway... ... he made this interesting fold-up contraption from an old sewing machine cabinet about 40 years ago.

I also have a thick anti static rubber mat. Vacuums create static electricity----not a good choice to clean up powder. When we are sawing propellant we use wet vacs to prevent igniting the powder.

You know, not a bad idea there. I can't use it because the old sewing table we have still has the original antique sewing machine in it that still works, and I know if I tried to do that to something with that kind of value, SWMBO would likely skin me alive with my own skinnin' knife....

watab kid Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 most of you look far more organized than ill ever get to be , but i can relate to the minimalist approach , both my presses are mounted to the same workmate , my shotgun reloader is on a friends bench , nothing is convenient but im needing some space to set anything better up at this time , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mike Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Before my move to South Carolina I had two nice climate controlled rooms in a fully finished basement. Two six foot benches and plenty of cabinet space let me spread out a bit and keep things pretty well organized. Two Dillon RL550's, RCBS Rock Chucker, MEC9000G and Spolar with hydraulic drive were no problem. Of course I took the pic after a major clean up and put away. In my new home I had to find space in my garage. Not so great in the heat of the summer, but I just do most of my loading in the fall, winter and spring. Have to keep things cleaned and oiled to prevent any rusting. So far no problem. Used this space under the stairwell to build in a six foot bench and bought the cabinets from Sam's Club. Sold one RL550 but everything else fit, although very tightly. Used the bifold doors to keep snooping eyes away when garage door is open. Not a bad compromise.
