ok so im going to have to build an addition onto my custom shop, even though ive got 3 diff buildings now and were adding a fab shop im trying to keep the reloading separate, Im very much into avoiding cross pollination so to speak and my custom shop is dinky. Id love to see what you folks have done, and to start the ball rolling heres some photos
that lil blue building is the custom shop and is where I make my income...

heres a pic of the hot shop ie blacksmithy, press, coal forge, gas forge etc, still need to build a blown gas forge and a 3 burner venturi forge as well as a smelting kiln. got the stuff just ran out of time. all these have gone up since august of last year...

and heres pics of the production shop, this still needs dust collection, more lighting, and another grinding station. this shop is, as its name implies where all the production knife work is done, mostly kitchens and affordable EDC stuff like skinners hunters etc. once we get this build done Ill be hiring disabled and PTSD vets to work it, hence the ramp... all proceeds from it will go back to them minus shop maintenance costs..

Have a 12x14 shed where I cast and berms at 25, 100 & 200 yards where I can shoot. Nothing fancy for casting but set up for my needs. Huge exhaust fan will let me make ingots inside if I choose though I normally do that outside.
