    Reloading / Casting room

    Been working on this for awhile. Now I'm moving into it. Insulated with heat and air. Now on the cold winter days I can get ahead for the summer and fall..

    Very nice.

    After the weather the past 2 weeks +, I'm thinking how I can put air into my 'shop'.

    Looks like you put a lot of thought into your reloading room.

    Only two mistakes I can see. You made it too small! You need a vent hood over the casting pot. Plus a couple of fire extinguishers.

    I like the many outlets over the bench. Good thinking. Hopefully they are not just one circuit. Nice layout and workmanship!

    Nice work Tenbender, looks terrific. I really like your bi-level benches. How big is the room?

    Nice lighting over the melt pot and good placement of the press at the widow. Have you other lighting in the press area?

    Very nice planning and execution. I suspended my range hood about a foot over the melting pot. I have one wall outlet and a 5 foot WireMold Plug Strip, each on a 20 amp circuit. You're gonna really enjoy your space!

    I'm not completely moved in yet. It is filling fast. I did find time to cast 400 or so 255 gr. 454's today. Seems nice for the fluxing smoke going outside. I still have 2 lube sizers , powder measure stand and primer seat to mount.

    Where is the microwave for heating pastry and the coffee pot? Looking great, you have done a fine job. I'm like RP I want to see pics in a year.

    Good point and what about the radio and TV oh and computer ? Not going to say anything about the posters of the half naked women holding guns or the ice box for the drinks. I think on the other side of the room your wife has taken over storing all the Christmas stuff and what ever lol.

    I did and thought using a range hood was very clever. I'll bet it was a lot of work venting it through the roof. Is the room in your home or is it a finished shop area?
