Just wanted to start a thread to see what homemade items people have made for their reloading/casting hobby. Pics?!? Could be anything from homemade reloading trays to homemade case feeders.

WOW very impressive!!
I can't keep up with JMorris, but I am building an auto annealer using one of his blades.
Also built a rotary tumbler,drying rack for the brass after it comes out of the rotary tumbler, auto drive for the1050.
I will post pics when I figure out how and have the time.
wow, you guys put me to shame, I made a homemade tumbler by putting corn cob media and brass in a coffee can and put it in my truck for about a week
Jmorris, after being constantly chided by others for their view that I go overboard with the things I like, I LOVE it when I find a person who makes me look like a complete slacker!
A case feeder for a Square Deal??? Was this for a bet? Why not one for an original Lee Loader?
Sort of, there were a couple of guys talking about how they would do it on another forum and were going to post CAD drawings when they got a chance. I think some one decided it couldn't be done, so I did it one afternoon.Quote:

Speechless and most humble! I wish I lived next door
ANeat , is that a treadmill motor on the tumbler ?
No its actually a auger motor out of a machining center. It normally has a 12ft steel "corckscrew" hanging off of it to pull metal chips out of the machine.
Anyway, the keyway got "wallered" out so it had to be replaced. The gearbox and motor were still fine so I claimed it.
Ive probably been using it about 10 years now.
I think a treadmill motor would work great if you had a support for the front end of whatever container you were using.
Those are some amazing tools and equipment.
Thanks for sharing
