Design and building a reloading room

[KKG]

Of you think it is small now, just wait until you have another safe or two in there.

I doubt I'll live long enough to fill this big boy up, I opted for the biggest one I could afford.... It's YUGEEEEEE

When we moved we decided to add a third one and it's the biggest of the three and already full. It is an addiction and I truly have it bad. That and me addiction to purchasing ammunition. This place is 300 square feet smaller. I just hope there is no cure! I purchased my first Smith and Wesson in 1969, now I have a few more.

This is the one I was talking about Jim. I currently have 180 of them. My business partner and I got a really good deal on them. So if you or anyone else wants one shoot me a PM.

That's a really nice piece of hardware. If I was still working at reloading or car repair, I'd jump on a couple of those.

Last I checked Costco was selling those things for $389.00 and Amazon was $425 to any of my NWFA buddies I will do $199.00

All of mine are Browning. And I've been very happy with them. In fact, the last one came from an ad posted here. I think I paid just about half of a new one. And I'm very happy with it.

Well boys and girls, I's could take it no mores (said in a Popeye voice).

My SIL asked if he could bring along a few gun parts to assemble. He knew that I had all the trim & painting done in the new "room"...

I quickly made a makeshift bench & clamped my vise to it & got out my G S tool box.

An hour later my grandaughters AR15 pistol was born (less a muzzle device & sights).
The first build is history!!!

On another note, I'm glad I extended it 2' but should have built it 2x the 10x12....

Jim;

Harbor Freight has a couple of different roll around work carts with drawers and a wooden top that you can ad to.

Nice! What's hiding behind the curtain? A 75mm recoiless build?

I wish!!!
I am still kind of moving stuff around and I don't want to scuff my baby.

I'll see what I have room for after I build my cabinets, desk and bench.
I'm catching my second wind on this project.

Looking really good Jim, nice work!

Jim;

Good for you!

Alright boys and girls, it's time for round 3....
I have been contemplating building my own bench but I do not think I could put a bunch of drawers in it like I would like or like the cabinets that I have already fit the bill.
The cabinets are 34-1/2 in tall and I'm going to put a 2 x 4 x 24" torsion box on top of them making a U design (if you look at the gray outline on the floor, that is about where my bench top going to be).
Anyways take a look at these pics and help me decide which looks best.
I got to get this thing finished soooon.
I'm likeing this mock setup, what do ya think? This is temporary to give an idea of where the benchtop is.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Here's some other options with my stacked lazy Susans. This Arrangement is where is perpendicular to the rest of the items on that wall. I kind of like to have that open space around the end of the bench maybe a little nook for a broom, fighting stick or tall what nots, it's 11" wide.


This Arrangement fits the space but just doesn't give me a good vibe....

 

[Caveman Jim]

Well, I'm getting some likes but I'm not getting any constructive feedback. That's okay I can wait till after you eat dinner. LOL

 

[Ura-Ki]

Ether would work, go with what you feel works best! Picture sitting there running your press and moving around reaching for stuff, or bumping into stuff!

Looks GREAT Caveman! i like the lazy susans flush with the safe.... you dont want anything falling back there the other way though, but could be 2 okish hidey-holes. One accessible....the other less so.
