Great progress Caveman... Understanding it started out a bench and is now a room, just be glad it hasn't become a complete workshop. These things have a tendency to snowball...
Carpet does suck for a reloading room.
I've tried it.
Could be entertaining when the wife comes through with the vacuum picking up live primers, though.
great project. I started with my own new Reloading Chamber in July.
Just yesterday I got almost to where my press is ready for action in the next day or 2.
Jim; I do hope you are planning to insolate the room. It will help keep the moisture from getting too high and will make heating much less costly. It does look nice. Mike
One of the surprises in my own project, is after putting up with something 'temporary' over the last 30 years, how much debris & unessential stuff was tucked away, forgotten or from long completed/abandoned projects, or otherwise clogging up my pristine organization!
What I've been otherwise unable to sell/give away/end up actually throwing away (!!!) is rather like a psychic diet making focus on my 'good stuff' so much easier.
It had been decades since doing any actual wiring. Laying in a half-dozen new outlets & associated tasks took the better part of 2 weeks.....thankfully after spending a WHOLE DAY on the first 2 boxes a couple forgotten tricks refreshed memory & it was far easier after that.
Cheers to your project Caveman.
Jim; Hopefully, you have enough space in your breaker box to put in about three(3) 20amp circuits. I'd put in all the outlets at about 4 feet above the floor with about 6 feet between and make them all with 4 outlets in each box and put them on all 4 walls. You need to make sure you use heavy enough wire - I'd recommend 10ga.
Again, Good Luck.
Depending on what you are storing in the wall lockers, you might want to put a Golden Rod or something like it in one of them.
Every time I sit down at my reloading station, I think about threads like this. I wouldn't change a thing about my set-up... Caveman Jim, I hope yours turn out to be everything you want. Build it right the first time and you'll have no regrets. If you are like me, you'll spend a lot of time there. Good luck with it...
Jim; It's looking great! I see you went with the fourplex outlets. Now you need to make sure they are insulated. It's crazy how much heat can be lost without the little piece of foam. Mike
