Make a Bin Dam


Recommended Posts

I made some Bin Dams for the standard Hornady bin (made by Akro). Start with sheet Aluminum 0.035 thick (measured by caliber - I forgot what thickness I bought at the home center). Now you can fill up the bin with out cases falling out the front of the bin.

Mark with a machinist scribe or razor knife.

Width: 3 7/8 inch

Hight: 2 1/2

top height: 1 1/2

bottom height: 1 inch

right and left indent 7/16

Cut out with tin snips then cut the sharp ends at a 45 degree angle. Use 400 grit sandpaper to smooth any sharp edges.

I placed in a bench vice to bend the top part of the "T" - - using a block of wood against the top of where the aluminum sheet meets the vice and evenly pressing the top part of the "T". Press back about 3/4 of an inch. The picture shows how far to push, do not put two sheets in to bend. One at a time.

I used a piece of Venician blind slat.

As Dad would say "Cheap and nasty"!

He was not talking about your date was he? "Son, that is a Cocktail Waitress in a Dolly Parton wig!"

Nah, Dad never met that skank. He would have disowned me.
