Skywalker Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Ok, among the new year's resolutions I put the one to post a couple of shots of my reloading area. Small room in the basement: about 1.5 m x 2.5 m. It serves as reloading area and Laboratory for my homeworks (I wish I'd be able to build something like Ron's double closet). Of course, in my new year's resolutions I didn't even slightly think to put the one saying"Clean your loading area!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I can almost hear the collective shocked intake of breath... "Th... that's not a blue press!" Is that a Frecce Tricolori poster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Sims Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 You mean that there is another reloading press company besides Dillon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycanthrope Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 What's a Dillon? IF you build a bench from a countertop that matches your press, your accessories, your curtains and placemats, you too can convince your girlfriend it's a great thing to reload in the "dining" room. Solves the problem of figuring out what to do with a China cabinet when you don't have any China...... Don't sweat it. We don't eat here. Just got tight on space when we consolidated our apartments.

SiG Lady Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 ..."it's a great thing to reload in the "dining" room"... It'd be nice if everyone would just let us reload wherever we pleased...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 It'd be nice if everyone would just let us reload wherever we pleased...! Ain’t that the truth? Where would I like to reload? Why in one of the extra cabins of my 110-foot yacht while at anchor at Barbados! Now where DID I put those lottery tickets…? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Is that a Frecce Tricolori poster? Yeah, that's a Frecce Tricolori poster, nice spotting. But I would have bet you'd have notice the poster on the left side of the first photo... That's a completely different and looooong story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Is that a poster from "back in the days", when you were young and "needed the money"? If not, please elobarate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I didn't notice it the first time. (Man, I need to get out more.) Is that the Breaste Tricolori? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Well, the poster (I hand-made and wrote it from a blank sheet) dates back to 1990, when I was attending university. The college where I lived had a nice feature: we all were active university students (if this poor translation means something to any of you, for the rest we were all goliardic students); this means we were all busy with students' rags and so on; we had a pyramidal organization like the roman church (with pope, cardinals, bishops, costumes and so on) based principally on university seniority. I worked my way up to the top of the pyramid, and the poster was my announcement that the previous pope had left (I was at that time the vicar cardinal) and that a conclave was summoned to elect his successor. At the end of the conclave I was the new pope for that year. Since in goliardy there are only three gods (bacco -meaning spirit- tobacco and venus) everybody puts them in his preferred order and quantity when creating such a poster. I don't smoke, and between bacco and venus my preference was ... well you can see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because people who can afford a couple Dillon's usually just have the "hired help" turn any loose screws around the house..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn jones Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 kdj, you're single, right? why didn't you bolt the 650 to the counter top? renting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 kdj, Is that bolted to the step ladder? If so, how does it work (is it sturdy)? I like the portability idea as I am pressed for space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdj Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Nope - I'm not single, my partner has her darkroom in the next room and this is my room :-). The 1050 is actually mounted on a "power tool stand" that is pretty solid. I decided to do that since it gives me stability with portablity. I can look out the window and screen it off when not in use since the room is primarily an Aikido dojo . It's also the perfect height for use with the kneeling stool so it works well. I could have bolted it to the counter top or the desk but this seemed more flexible. Works pretty well so far. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 You beat me to it, 300lb!! Best use of fridge alcove I've EVER seen!!! Great fit! I'm jealous. Gee, even a retro-hippie, ergonomic knee-rest seating unit. Hmm... I used to have two of those. Comfy. Until I later broke a kneecap (not using the chair, mind you) and they were no longer comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
