I have a couple of those old molds, .38/.357 & .45, single cavity...about as slow as it gets in casting but, the HP's literally jump out of the molds when all is right in the kingdom...I think these are mid 30's vintage. I feel lucky to own them.

I really like that table georgerkahn and may modify mine to copy some of that design. Thanks. Joe

I used an old steel Desk, I cast here and make my gas checks here. (The red container are filled with water) The drawers and peg board hold all tools essential to the task a hand. I'm retired so I don't have to worry about small children> and grandchildren are grown. It also serves as my brass cutting station. The big file drawer holds the harbor freight cutoff saw. There is a desk lamp mounted to it to the left and a large fan on top of the file cabinet that pushes out any smoke if it occurs.

I finally got around to taking and downloading pictures. This is my set-up. I often have a Buddy or two over to cast.
The table is heavy enough that it can't be turned over or collapse and the lead pot can't be jostled around. There are enough circuits behind the table to run several lead pots and hot plates so there are no cords in the way or running across the floor to trip on. The wooden box has a divider across the back to separate the good bullets from the sprues. The hot plate sits to the right side.

I don't like casting inside...I have a rolling table that winds up wherever the best shade is...that depends on time of year and time of day...so, I don't have a picture to post.
In Oregon the best time for casting is in the rain, so it's often and indoors lol. I've made improvements to the station lately but inspired by this thread greatly so I'll make some more before posting.
Curious that most of you don't water drop it seems?
I have no suggestions to offer since most have been covered very well already. No, the reason for my post is simple........I just wanted to publicly commend you for being a good father. Many of us are older now and have forgotten the concerns of being parents. I'm watching my 2 1/2 year old grand daughter these days, and the idea of her being hurt due to something I did scares me to death. As a result, I hover over her like a guardian angel.........just like you.
I salute you sir.

I cast in my basement reloading room. I have everything on a 3 shelf wire cart that I can roll out of the way when not being used. I have a Lee 10# pot feeding a Lee 20# pot.

I take over the table and the south end of the back patio to cast before the family rises in the morning. Upside is it's under cover. Great from Spring til Fall and still doable in Winter. Downside is it all has to get set up and broken down every session.
