The one Uniquetek sells is nice but does not screw into the die like this one. No chance of it falling out or getting knocked over.

I am amazed and awed.

Good ol' #9 fence wire.....how can you keep a place running without it....

We used to call the fencing wire Number 8 (Imperial sizing I suppose). Nowadays it all of that nasty thin high tensile stuff, old No.8 is nothing but a fond memory.
I was riding my 1942 42WLA Harley Davidson along a back road in the late 60s and the exhaust system fell apart. A farmer was driving his tractor along, stopped, walked back along the fence and found a roll (our farmers leave what's left over from a roll along the fence at intervals so that you can do repairs in the future, I suppose your farmers do the same). He cut off about three or four foot, walked back, removed the clamps, etc and fitted it all back together with wire. I threw the clips and clamps in the saddle bag (where they still were two years later when I sold it). The exhaust system never missed a beat. I rode several Harleys in the Army, old 1942 Lend Lease stocks and the one i had and they all had trouble with exhaust system leaks, rattles, etc, but my farmer fixed one done with No.8 wire was brilliant.

More shop time....
This round a die for decapping 50BMG cases prior to cleaning.

Here's a set of bushing forming dies for a 223 based wildcat I did a few years back that a guy dreamt up while he was deployed. The larger two bushings push the shoulder back in steps and the smaller two are for 6mm and I can't remember off hand if the other one was for .257" or 6.5mm bullets.
Those are both nice. But I have to say, as a home shop guy, in my eyes the one on the bottom is a work of art.

Thank you Mike. A little over engineered perhaps, but it won't wear out. Something to pass on to the grandson.
Here's a media seperator I made from some stainless scrap from the scrapyard and some hardware I had laying around. Simple to make. I borrowed my BIL's brake and bent it and used some corian for the ends. Secured with pan head framers. It's about 10-12" across and around 30" long. The crank was off an old port o power attachment. I lay it across a huge plastic tote and crank about 5 revolutions. Easy peasie.

It look to me as if that would work very well Paul. All the elements are there but I might consider elongating the holes where the threaded rod is supported. This would allow for multiple calibres or even individual bullets.
