Looking good! My man cave is still in a state of confusion pending the completion of a new work bench and cupboards. The new loading bench and cupboards are in and I've just about completed the upacking of my reloading stuff. My man cave, like yours, mine used to be gaarge also.......

What is that green stuff just outside your garage door?
I was at the gun range today - it was 15F with a fifteen MPH wind out of the north. The Lee Enfield No. 4 (longbranch) shot better than I did.
BTW: there was two feet of snow on the big bore range and 4 feet in the drift in front of the target boards.
I also have to show your photos to my wife - she has seen very little of the floor in my garage and in my workshop - she knows there is a floor there somewhere. She reminds me that it wouldn't be that difficult to find it.....
My wife, on occassion, has seen fit to pontificate at some length about the disorganized mess, in her opinion, that passes for my garage and reloading room.
I usually respond that if I don't criticize how she organizes her kitchen, she should be careful about how she criticizes a part of the house that she doesn't even use. That always ends the discussion.
I like your shelving for powder and bullets. That's neat looking.
Mine is in the house except for the casting table. Yes, I know it's green and not red, lol.
In all, the .41 Magnum would be one of my top choices for an all-around handgun if I were allowed to have only one. - Bart Skelton
Looks great! I like the benches that both of you have! Also, do you have any concern leaving the powder and some of the other things outside with the humidity, etc.?
This is before I really started using it. Now it's a mess!! LOL

Hey Jack,
Nice set up! What's that device just to right of the Rockchucker in the last pic?

(I think, therefore I'm armed.)
Wildman Jack,
Nice setup! That would be a dream to have something like that! Congrats.
Oh that's my Star sizer/ Luber. Just didn't have the air line attached to the cylinder. Yeah It's really great, even Air Conditioned !!!! No I need a urinal and a refrigerator for some nice cold water... Cause it's gonna get hot down here in a few weeks...
By the way, If I was still married I'm sure that would be a gardening house or a place for my ex mother in law to stay!!!

Some of the shop, less than fifty-feet from the back deck.
The casting table:
My shelving storage for cast boolits related stuff (a former cigarette display shelf system from a grocery store):
The red bench (Lee and MEC), with gun-cleaning counter, supplies storage (top cabinets) and ammo, powder, primer storage (bottom cabinets):
Overall view from near the door:
On the other side, I have another bench, two more storage units, a sink, air compressor and some wood working tools.
TSRA sticker on the toolbox, yessir, we have things in common.

Best thing about being single, the whole house is the man cave!
I would take a picture of my mancave/reloading shop, but there's no room in there for a camera.

Rattletrap, No Way that is a man-cave. It is way too neat.
I'm in
casting area
,
the one side of the cave
,
the other side
there are two more sides that I didn't photo but you all get the idea
being a bricklayer by trade comes in handy
Hit em'hard

I was able to squeeze in and get a few shots. I really need to straighten up in there. Why put off until tomorrow what can be done next week!
