Very nice! It looks rock solid.

 

Thanks!

The bench top also has two 2x6's laying flat running the length of the bench giving the first 11" from the front a thickness of 2.25". There's also 2x6 joist running front to back every 48", and cut out to help support the 2x6's, and bench top.

 

WOW !!! That is going to be first class. This is the second amazing reloading/gun room that has been shown lately.

 

Thanks Todd51! It's actually a 10x20 building. I also need to get my A/C set in its hole. The setup will be presses on the left, and back bench. On the right bench will be a drill press, and Lyman Case Prep center. Then the front half of the right bench will be for gun cleaning/maintenance. I should have enough room to place my long gun on the bench for cleaning without them hanging over.

 

Thats a gunslingers man cave. I am jealous.

 

Very nice!

 

Where does the recliner-thinking chair go?

 

I need to post a pic with it in place! My parents have been going through my grandmothers house, and cleaning it up to rent out. She's bed ridden, and on hospis. While cleaning out they found a brand new high back leather office chair that adjust up n down still in the box. Dad called, and asked if I would like to have it. Heck yea! I went over Sunday to pick it up, and help him load trailers with things for storage.

 

(Envy)

 

That's something you can be really proud of - good work! (I don't think you will run out of electrical outlets LOL).

 

Thanks Steve! My goal was to have 2 outlets per Dillon, with 2 extra for a future press down the left wall. Outlets 2,4,&6 are all on a separate circuit for scales only.

Thank Soundguy. I have wanted a reloading shop/man cave for a while now. It will be nice this summer when it's 100* outside.

 

I keep waiting for my wife's last few birds to die. She has a whole bedroom meet aside for 2 finches, a parotlet, a budgie, and a miniature pigeon.

When they go, my small 10x10 man cave can occupy that other 10x10 room, making that wing of the house mine.. and there is a bathroom between them.

 

I have my building complete. I still need to mount a self down the left wall, a few cabinets down the right wall, and cut my plywood for the lower shelf below the presses. Either way I mounted my presses today. It's starting to look like a reloading shop now!

nice. is the drill your case lathe?

 

Yes it is Soundguy. I have the Trim It trimmer. It's a lot like the tri way by Giraud, but you can swap out the calibers on it.

 

One word. SWEET!!!!

 

that is a sweet looking setup.

 

Thanks Shadow160!

Soundguy here's my trimmer that I use with the drill press.

Thanks for the pic. I was guessing thats What you had it for. Nice trimmer too. If i
didn't have my rcbs power trimmer, id have done that as i have a spare small bench drill press.

Wow Ga, what a setup. After looking at yours, I'm condemning my set up. It's not in the same class as yours. Until I saw what you got I was happy with mine, but not anymore. Nice job.

 

Joe thanks for the kind words, but all that matters is you are happy, and producing quality ammo! This is a major upgrade for me also, going from a 12' bench in my garage to a 10x20 building. I was tired of load ammo in the 95* heat of summer, and being crampped up with my kids bikes leaning against my bench. My wife wanted the garage back, and I really didn't like the idea of having 40lbs+ of powder in my house. This has long been a dream of mine after seeing some of the great setups on the pic threads.

 

Gahunter, I am glad you did not get a chance to come over and see my set up. I would be ashamed for you to have seen the mess I call my reloading building!!

 

Gdmoody you are my inspiration on buying a building. I have moved all my powder, and primers out to the building. I had to buy a dehumidifier to keep the humidity down. I'm keeping it at 50-55% seems like that's the ideal range for no rust, and keeping powder/primers fresh from what I have read.

 

That my friend is a MANCAVE...

 

Nice setup. Im not even reloading anymore. I have plenty of room for it and have threatened buying a big blue but still havent done it. I sold all my lee loading equipment some time ago after becoming so frustrated with it.

 

Looks like I have finished up for now. I plan to load some this weekend! I still want to hang some cabinets, and finish up with staining my lower shelf under the bench. Here's how things stand now.

Yea I love my sea of Blue! After reading through pages of LDBennete talking about how good the Blue Koolaid was, I just had to try it! The RL550b was my very first press.

 

It's like "Better Homes and Gardens", but for reloading. Nice!

 

Exactly.

 

very nice, makes me want to re-do my man cave!
