Nice journey on your build! That old break has some years on it, very interesting. Congrat`s!

[Bigterp]

I am envious of the knowledge to run all that equip. I shouldn't be 'cause I'm getting too old to get involved with so much, but I still am. Very nice and hope you get many good yrs. of service out of your equip. and building.

You don’t stop playing because you grow old.
You grow old because you stop playing.

Words to live by .

Lot’s of “play time” I see in the future in Stacey’s new shop.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. I have made my living at sheet metal work since 1988. Started my own small company in 2000. Those machines have provided my family with a lot over the years.
I’m hoping I can still get out there and use them when I’m in my walker.
I watched my grandfather go downhill very quickly when he couldn’t get out and farm anymore.

Congrats!
You have worked hard and done well, enjoy the blessings!
The shop looks great!

Tonight, I got home and the peacocks were out. It was 9:00 p.m. I asked my wife if she had finally let them out to roam, she said “no they’re tethered and need put away. I headed out to put them up and my 3 year old (in January) grandson Lincoln wanted to help me with it. We got him some warm clothes on and headed outside. After we got them put away, I said “let’s go in and go to bed”. He said “ not yet Grandpa, I want to go out to the shop and work on ductwork, I want to do the insulation.” Makes my heart sing! This little guy is a worker!

The part I’ve been waiting for!!!!!

For a couple of months now, all my casting/reloading stuff has been in my work trailer. Finally, I’m getting my pleasure (not in a perverted way) palace finished off so I can move all that stuff in, and get started using it.

Just a couple of nights ago, I finished wiring up the last of my fun tools. I’ve got a set of mould blocks on the mill right now, just squaring them up and getting ready to pin and bore a new bullet mould.

Taking suggestions????

I was thinking a copy of Accurate .45/480M.

BTW since Home Depot sucks and 4-6 weeks has turned into 6 months, and I don’t have my overhead garage doors on yet. ( I ordered the first week in February and I’m not supposed to get them until July 30) I gotta get a couple of mouse traps. I whiffed on the little bugger last night with the nail gun.

 

[sdporter]

This is what I got for doors.....

I almost forgot to say how much I love paying $1500 for $300 worth of building materials. 5x the value right???

Can't go wrong with these two designs.

Get yourself a shop cat.

Stacy, what bullet mold did you decide on?

 

[sdporter]

I think it’s gonna be this one. I really like that nose profile

 

[edmehlig]

That should work out just fine. Only negative is it will eat up your pot of lead quicker.
