Damn, I could move my entire shop into that space. Congrat's - let us see the finished product.

[Riverpigusmc]

Told ya, now we're shed kin :D

Look at the foil popcorn insulation at Home Depot, Colonel. Made by Reflectix..I looked at the wrapper and realized I wired that factory when I was a contractor in Indiana. 24" wide and staples in easy. Lowes has a small window A/C for 109 bucks..just make sure your window opens 13"...I had to take out the whole window and frame the A/C in. Gonna get hot in "Bama like it does here.

[skosh69]

Only an officer would have a shed that well designed!!! hehehe

Looking good Mike!

Got a scale on order and when it arrives, I'll be in production.

[ronpaul50]

Very nice, Sir.

[US.45]

Looking good. And I have that exact desk!

[Riverpigusmc]

Good job, Ed. You even clocked the screws on the receptacle plates...I used to ream my guys butts for leaving them every which way..makes the job look unfinished. Nice fixtures, too

[Roverron]

Hummmm, looking good Mike!

[jmlutz]

That's a great looking shop, I wish mine looked half as nice! Good luck with all your reloading.:)

[Riverpigusmc]

Ya ever notice how an officer/pilots area is clean and refined, and a grunt/NCO just has all his crap stuffed in a seabag? So goes the reloading caves. Looking good, Colonel

[ColMike]

Thanks Mike

[deputybpfife]

Great looking bench and work area. Where's the fridge for after the gun fun?

[Riverpigusmc]

good corn likker requires no refridgeration :grin

[skosh69]

You're not going to leave the walls uncovered are you?

[DaFadda]

more pictures please?

[Riverpigusmc]

I still can't figure out how you found insulation 23" wide that wasn't 9" thick

[ColMike]

I got in my truck, went to Marvins and asked for insulation. ?

We are also shed brethren. Sitting on my stool right now.

[ColMike]

more pictures please?

First, I think the desk is a sewing cabinet. See sequence below

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt204/davismh76/MHD-VAIO/desk3_zps9b83f46b.jpg

I use a hand primer rather than the one in the press.

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt204/davismh76/MHD-VAIO/primermachine_zps31558ef4.jpg

I tried the tumbler on the bench but it caused too much vibration. Now it's on the floor with the A/C unit.

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt204/davismh76/MHD-VAIO/acandtumbler_zpse2c642e3.jpg

I'm waiting on my Pact powder measure and scale so I got this little Hornacy scale. who would have thought it would take 4 weeks to ship?

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt204/davismh76/MHD-VAIO/temppowderscale_zpsa2331c92.jpg

Bins for clean fired brass. I'll have to put in shelves soon enough to handle the case load.

And the end of it all.. the first 20 ournds complete;

And a special thanks to you Padre for all the help you gave me when first we spoke on this subject. I referred many times to the pics you uploaded.

Mike

[Riverpigusmc]

I wish I knew Marvin. All the 23" wide stuff I found was R-19, too thick to stuff in a 2x4 stud wall. Looking good

[Snipersnest]

That's a nice re-loading den you have there!

[ColMike]

I'm finally finished with a last change to the shed. Friends recommended peg board and I thought it a good idea.. so back tracking a few steps, I got it installed and all the shelves back up.

Stopped the Col's pad this afternoon and the place is :rock:en

[ronpaul50]

The white pegboard looks good Col.

[Riverpigusmc]

You're a busy man..looking good.

I bought a battery clock and turned my ram around backwards..'bout it :D

[Boats]

Nice Colonel!

Maybe one day I'll have a separate shed for reloading, but for now I'm stuck with using a corner of my woodworking shop.

Tom

[AutoMag]

Looking good Mike!!!:)

I converted one of our guest rooms into my reloading room and another was converted to my wife's sewing/embroidery machine room!!!

[Jubz]

Very cool. Man cave it up and add a Vizio flat screen to a wall connected to a Google TV box wirelessly connected to your home network along with a mini frig and you're all set. ;)

But you have a shop. :-)

Vizio? Come on man, this is the Col you're talking to! You see that shed? Putting a Vizio in there is like putting Kirkland tires on a Ferrari!

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a Vizio, but with today's ridiculously low prices for flat screens-both LED and Plasma, getting a Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, LG or Sharp is the best way to go.

[ColMike]

I do have wifi and streaming video capability.

[AutoMag]

A TV or radio has no business being in a reloading room!!!

Reloading takes your utmost concentration, anything less and accidents will happen!!!

Come on now Ellison.............I have 4 Vizio 60" TV's and they are fantastic. Nothing wrong with the others that you mentioned either!!!:D

[Sheepdog]

That's sweet! Col:cool:

I use it for researching load data and instructional videos.

[NAMVET72]

Very Nice Col. and now you can get down to some Serious Reloading and be ready for your next Range Trip,


Clyde

[AutoMag]

Do you live in a sports bar?

Funny Scott!!!:D

I did forget to mention that I also have a 47" and a 32" Vizio!! The 32" is in my wife's sewing room. :D

I wasn't poking fun at Vizio, they are great tv's



4 60's? Wow, I thought I had too many.......4 x 32"s ( bedrooms and daycare) , 1 x 60" (living room) and 1 x 19" ( front of the treadmill)

[Riverpigusmc]

I have an am/fm radio.....:(

So you have two items in your house that collects dust? (TV and Treadmill)

[Riverpigusmc]

I've found 1200 dollar treadmills collect unfoded womens clothes

[DaFadda]

Vizio? Come on man, this is the Col you're talking to! You see that shed? Putting a Vizio in there is like putting Kirkland tires on a Ferrari!

Ellison, you're only saying this because the Vizio's aren't on the California / Connecticut approved lists!!
