bigarm Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I was going to post pictures of the development, but after one picture the forum won't let me post any more. It looks much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigarm Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) http://s628.photobucket.com/user/bigarm/media/man%20cave/Shop184.jpg.html?sort=3&o=8 Slide show of the progression of the man cave/reloading room. Not really in order; the cabinets had no shelves first and just put those in this past week. In addition to the reloading area and workbench, there is a pool table, a snooker table, a 1971 Ranchero and 2 feral cats that I have only caught a glimpse of after neutering. The counter tops are cleaned up as of this afternoon. It is not shown, but on the left side of the bench with the Dillon sits my portable air compressor so I can stop using my wife's canned air for the computer and to the left of it a 32" flat screen tv and a stereo/cd/ipod player with speakers. The interior walls are all blue stained pine. Edited August 23, 2014 by bigarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partner Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Very nice! I just started on my new reloading room too. It is 16 x 20. But I need to do the electric, insulation, drywall, floor and paint before I start moving the cabinets guns a few and reloading equipment in. It is a lot of work but worth the effort!

bigarm Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Got most of the reloading area done, so I have begun working on the fishing area. Took everything out of the drawers and cabinets and cleaned the areas. Still need to clean everything that was in there, though. Made shelves and am now working on fishing pole holders. Since it is a rustic area, I made some with just 2x4's. Will mount them and if they look okay, will make more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointblanktx Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Wow, very nice! I love the wood walls! I would love to do that to my reloading room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckols Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Compliments. Your cabinetry skills are spot on! The wood looked to us Southerners more like Cypress that Pine but you called it !! You are to be congratulated for all the time/energy put into this great Man Cave project. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckols Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Oh and PS based on earlier post! I keep the weapons(hand guns and rifles) away- away from the reloading room. I do this for both safety and security issues. If they(bad GUYS) break in they can easily steal my ammo and components but the hardware is safe elsewhere and it will take them time to find them. Time is a rare commodity of a thief !!! Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is a rare commodity of a thief !!! Chuck Our guns are all in the house in a safe, well most of them. are in the safe None are in the reloading area. Actually the man cave is a separate building from the house. It is a 30x70 pole building with 30x40 enclosed and the remaining 30x30 enclosed on three sides with an open front, no insulation or inside walls, just the metal on the outside. Pretty much done as of today. Got the rest of the room cleaned up. Now I am going to order another 550 and accessories from Enos and Inline Fabrication (Labor Day sale at Inline - 10% off). Really was considering a 650, but I can get more things I need if I get the 550. Sold a couple of shotguns to pay for it. Tomorrow my wife and I are taking a trip to SW Montana to visit a very accomplished bullet caster who has graciously offered to teach me how to cast. I guess casting equipment might be next.

chuckols Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Sounds like you are way ahead of myself here in Atlanta Georgia Area. Wish I had your acreage! C'est la vie!! Congrats!! Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Casting is probably the biggest pain in reloading, 1st brother-in-law did it and I helped him a couple of times and that was when I decided that was enough for me for life !!!
