    Ah, yeah renting makes that less attractive to be sure. I need a table saw and a drill press. Wood working ideas keep popping up in my head and I'm still lacking some of the basic tools.



    YouTube and some research for another wood project is what got me interested in them as well. I was looking at those expensive organizer rack systems until I came across the cleats. Now I'm all in on that idea.
    Could make all the cleats you'd ever need and a few shelves out of a sheet of sanded ply.

    Check out pawn shops I see some killer deals, just no room in a one car. There's an older one that's built like a tank I want, pretty sure the tops cast iron or something similar. Also I started using Diablo blades in all my hand saws, it's worth the extra cash for decent blades.

    Today was bullet sizing day. I sized 55 lbs of bullets.

    Those are the small Plano ammo cans you can get at Walmart. The top on has 150 gr rn 9mm bullets. The bottom one has RCBS 201-KT bullets, interestingly those weigh in at 210 gr.

    I also coated two batches of bullets.

    Sized all my 380 bullets on the single stage last night. 280 black and 580 blues.

    Woke up before the minions so I setup one of the P1Ks for 380 and started running some through. I got about 150 before they started bugging me. Gotta go to the mall today for a drawing I won last weekend so I'll have to wait until later tonight to crank out more.

    I had to take my daughters to the mall last weekend for something. In the process me and my oldest (the anti-social one) we're walking around and found a radio station there doing a scavenger hunt so we did it. We we're one of the top 5 so we had to go back this weekend for a drawing.

    I won a cup.

    Press mounted finally. And I effed it up a bit. Somehow the press didn't end up flush with the board I mounted it to.

    I might get it fixed tomorrow.

    Still need to mount lighting in the garage.

    Hope you have a place to store everything indoors.

    I used to load in my garage and spray everything with Remoil. Still couldn't keep the rust at bay.

    Ugh. No I wasn't planning on that. Don't really have a good place to setup in the house. What did you notice rusted the worst? Press? Dies? Something else? Maybe I'll pickup some Eezox and get some desiccant packs for my die boxes.

    Anything bare steel. Lee dies and parts on my progressive were the fastest.

    Yup. I move at the end of the month and will lose my office/man cave. I haven't decided what to do yet

    I wasn't thrilled with the idea, but was able to get an 11' x 8' room. Fits two benches and storage. Going to replace the plastic shelves, white cabinets and black shelves with larger shelves.
