My new reloading room

[elk hunter]

After a bad fire in 2015 I had a loft built in my garage where I do light gunsmithing, reloading and clock repair. I'm planning to build some more in-the-wall cabinets to hold brass, bullets etc. The cabinet on the far right is for dies, I got tired of un-stacking and re-stacking them. In addition to lights I had two skylights installed, one in the loft and the other over the stairs. Most days I don't have to turn the lights on to work. As usual it is a cluttered mess but I use the excuse that I'm working there.

Nice, your loss is your gain
Cluttered, where? you can still see the reloading bench top

[Markopolo]

Very very nice.. but where is the clutter????

[brass410]

wow if that's clutter, mines a train wreck after the tornado

dude must have a maid. my gun room is knee deep, even on the benches.

[brass410]

dude you are so busted, you have been out hunting for a week and your swmbo has had a good time tidying up your cave. good luck finding those ejector springs and sight screws you left at the edge of the bench.

id kill to have that much space for reloading and gun work.

Very nice. Im especially envious of your loading die organization

[RogerDat]

Is that floor I see? Can I get confirmation? I don't recall seeing that sort of broad flat low surface anywhere near a reloading bench for a long time but I'm pretty sure it's a floor!

A most excellent workspace. Judging from the "workshop" I have no doubt your gunsmith work is done carefully and correctly.

Nice!

The only problems I can see, is there is no heating pad for the backrest on the work/reloading bench chair.

And if that's your definition of a "cluttered" room, then you, Sir have a severe case of ocd.

Very nice, but that broom needs to be in the corner , you may trip over it. Love your die set up.

I have long been trying to figure out what to do to deal with "Unstacking" Die boxes ... I Like that ALOT ! Did you make that yourself ? Very nice, anyway you put it !


Edit: I just decided I am going to Steal this idea for future reference !

Beautiful!

[MrWolf]

Agreed with all above. Mine is still in boxes from move and tripping over everything. Keep saying get to it tomorrow.... Really like the die box.

Yes, I built the cabinet to fit the space I had. The dividers are made of 1/4" plywood notched so the vertical and horizontal pieces slide together to make a solid joint. It does simplify finding the dies I want. It looks big but I am worried that I will run out of room in it some day.

No, no ocd. My wife says that I and our five kids have CDO, that's ocd in alphabetical order. It's not true in my case but, I will admit that I have mild case of PHD as in (pile it higher and deeper) as can be seen in my shop. After the fire I lost quite a bit of floor and cabinet space due to a new mechanical room and stairs for the loft. I hope to solve part of the problem next spring with a new garage/storage building out back.

I envy you that Beautiful setup, I'll go along with the rest of the guys. That die cabinet is fantastic.
Makes me wish I lived several hundred miles to the north. I'd drop by with a big thermos of coffee.
But I'd guess you've probably got a coffee pot setup too.
