That is super cool high Standard!
I haven't done a whole lot lately. I did make a rear receiver pin for the 10/22. My boys got a 10/22 from their great uncle. It was their great grandfather's and it was shot very little and like new condition. It was missing the rear trigger housing/receiver pin though. Probably got lost during a take down in the last however many years?... I took an old rusty nail and chucked in a drill and turned it down with a file to diameter and then cut and filed it to length. It came up +/- a thou so I am pleased with that. I was using the old calibrated eye and my RCBS dial caliper.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
Made some 3D printed bushings for the Lee sizing kits. Fits the red container. Pictures show 0.224, 0.452 and 0.356. Files can be found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2798895

So I decided that I wanted a power case trimmer, after seeing how most where more spendy then I was, I took a good hard at these power trimmers and decided I could build one......ok now where to start.....well a look around my machine shop, I saw the Bridgeport, and my counter bore set, and I got it....<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Step one, place a .040 thick cardboard shim between the jaws on an old vise, grab a .375 end mill (cause that is rim size on a .223 Remington) center up between the jaws, and mill down .060, leaving a coounter bore to set and hold the sell in<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Ok, now grab a counter bore, install a .210 dia. pilot, and turn the machine on....<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Worked very well, and after just a few mins of work , I did a lots of shells.....and holds my over all leanth to plus or minus .001....success!<br>
<br>

What do you all think?
I don't have a mill, but I have a drill press. I might take my vice to my mate and get him to mill it. I'l try it on some milsurp brass and see if it is accurate enough. If not, nothing lost. Neat idea, thanks.

Cobbled this up with parts from a old copier. Not exactly OSHA compliant.
Not here to pick a fight, but size does not matter, right? Its al about what you can do with it, right?
The motor was donated by a second handed washing machine.
But as you can see, after more then 20 years the water pump still functions on the bench.
Yes I know, cleaning day is up coming.
I also adapted the lyman, so the handle can come of, and be fix with an other "hollow pipe" that I made to fit to the axle of the old pump motor.
The other plate where the motor is fixed on for trimming the cases is behind the bench, can not reach it, yet.
I try to explane:
I fix/let the motor rest on two rails from a kitchen drawer that are fixed on that plate, where the home plate of the trimmer is, so that one is solid and decent outlined
So I can move the motor back and forward in one line.

Cast bullet resizer, copied from Grem460 on Youtube. I have since added a boolit collator as well so I can go non stop and not have to fill up tubes manually

That is a great idea!
My nut drivers and screwdrivers sit in wire holders on my pegboard. It isn't fancy, but was cheap, easy, and has worked great for a number of years. For my hex/allen drivers, I drilled holes in some aluminum angle and screwed it to the side of my toolbox.
For the pins that go to my fabrication table and for the Felo screw drivers I bought for my brother, I made custom holders with my cnc plasma.
I also make scissor and brush holders, paper towel holders, ribbon holders, leash/key hooks, and other various items for the grooming industry. Tonight, I just finished up the drawing for a garden hose holder for outside of my garage.
Nice job!
I studied his design as well, when I was planning out my sizing machine.
The casting and sizing machines that I built both ended up being driven by air. I still have to babysit them, but it takes the physical work out of it. They are noisy, but I have bluetooth ear plugs that are osha hearing protection and I can listen to Pandora while I cast and size. It makes the process of casting my own boolits much less tedious.

I made my own custom flat top punch for my RCBS LAM2 (out of 12L14 steel) since (so far) all of my cast bullets have a flat point:
New one on the right side:
Next, I am enlarging a .458" sizing die to .460" (for my 45-70 rifle) and making a custom matching plunger for it. So far enlarged only 0.0005" - it is taking a while since it seems the die body is somewhat hardened
