My setup.

[Adam10mm]

Here are some pics (finally) of my casting setup. I'll walk you through it.

Here is the bench. I have a Lee 20# melter and RCBS LAM2 sizer. There are three lamps around here. Two movable and one stationary under cabinet. I have the big black one lowered down to the sizer area so I can see what is going on. Notice it is lower than my eyes and close to where it needs to be. The shorty on the right side is lighting up the melter so I can check levels and keep an eye on quality of melt. The rubber mallet hanging up is my sprue plate smacker.

Here's the Lee melter with goodies in it and a close up of the unmelted goodies. Lyman thermo.

Cheap fan above the melter draws up fumes and blows them out the garage door. Works for now and was $2 at a garage sale.

Supplies, molds, gas checks in a box stored underneath bench.

Pure lead sheet scraps, WW alloy ingots from trades, green box is full of ~400# of raw WW that I have to melt.

Boolits on the benchtop I cast already. They are 145gr 10mm, 175gr TC 10mm some air cooled and some water quenched, and about 10 45cal 190gr SWC. There are some 44 Mag boolits need to size and will be selling soon. Oh yeah, look in the second pic with the can of 44Mag boolits. That bolt in there is the bent pressure rod from my LAM2. See how much out of round it is!!

No problem. Just a humble setup. Been meaning to get pics up. Finally found the camera.

Didn't know how much to get until I saw 100 sticks in bags will fit in a FRB. Fill 'er up. Was like $134.80 shipped for the 100 sticks, IIRC. Should be good for a while.
