No, thats far more than I am looking to spend. The walls will be lightly reinforced but more just looking to keep out the local meth head and not a team supplied with demo saws. Will also have a cam on the outside of the room that way local LE can be called if im away from the house.Something like this?
Prosteel Ultra Security Door
West Coast Safes sells the Prosteel Ultra security door and displays a working vault room in our showroom. Check out the vault doors in our showroom.www.westcoastsafes.com
You would need to reinforce the entire room or someone with a bit a time can just bypass the door and go through the floor/ceiling/walls
A heavy wood door, which you can reinforce the door on the inside as well as reinforcing the doorframe is economical and quite effective. Add extra dead bolts. Just having one or so in the middle is not the best option. Two spaced above and one or two below the regular door bolt with the reinforced door frame will offer more resistance than all but the most determined people to break into. Using long screws to attach the door strikes into a reinforced door frame is a major improvement.No, thats far more than I am looking to spend.

3/4" ply, all of my paint is exterior , I used primer, Bright White and Red & Gray Porch paint.What did you use to finish the top? That's a nice looking heavy duty bench!
Mentioning insulation while not a reloading topic and some asses may say something, if your doing insulating look at having the foam insulation sprayed in (Closed cell type). it is more expensive but I think it the long run it will pay for it self. I have a 7000 sq ft house insulated with it ;the heat above the first floor (second and third) is never on, the heat from the first floor does the whole house.Figured I'd move this thread over, in light of all the folks who posted such great stuff back on the old 'Hide. I captured a lot of it and will incorporate into the new room(s).
Another snowy weekend spent in the barn attic saw the completion of all my framing and the installation of all the wiring. Put in 8 outlets in the room, all at 48" height, to give plenty of clearance over benches. Wired in the light switches, too.
I found a really neat fixture at Home Depot which is an LED track light, but built in an "S" shape. So you can point lights in all kinds of interesting directions. And it current draw is tiny. I'll combine that with some on-bench lights.
Decided, too, to add a Gunsmiths bench for rifle building and other projects. That will be separate from the reloading benches. But I have lots of room.
Pictures when I get around to it. We're getting a 14" dusting of snow up here. So may get a day off tomorrow to keep going!
Insulating next. Did I mention I hate insulating? It itches.
Cheers

I still haven't figured out a tag line, but instead I'll just type this....
I had shelves built into my bench, so under that solution I prefer a 28” deep bench. 48” is plenty length wise.i discovered years ago the bigger the bench top the more crap it collects .the more room it takes up from the space in the room. a shelf 48'' long by 8'' mounted to the wall is more than enough to hold press and stuff needed to reload

Powered Case trimmer is close by .I have a rcbs powder dispenser but seldom use it.i found I was spilling more powder from moving the pan on an off the scale.so I just use the trickle spout to pore in them finish with the trickle. My scale is at eye hight on a shelf, no blending over to see the rcbs 5-10 balance beamWhere does the Giraud and the powder thrower fit?
I can smell mothballs when I look at this.Powered Case trimmer is close by .I have a rcbs powder dispenser but seldom use it.i found I was spilling more powder from moving the pan on an off the scale.so I just use the trickle spout to pore in them finish with the trickle.

That means absolutely fuck all to me. Get back in your hole.ya he's likely been loading longer than you have been alive

Glad to see your little one is on the way, praying for a safe, healthy birth and long and healthy life for the young fellow. Shop looks good. I basically need to do the same in my shop. I have a reloading area but it is open to the entire shop. Dirt, dust and grime everywhere, cold in the winter and hot in the summer.Having to move my reloading room. Just finished it not too long ago, but my baby boy will soon need his own room once he gets here. So I’m building a 8x16 room in my 30x40 shop.
This room will be 100% insulated and have a 110v mini split with a dehumidifier built in. Probably doing Sheetrock on the inside too because it’s cheaper than OSB. Eventually the rest of the shop will be spray foamed, but that will have to wait

I have a table such as yours. My press would deflect it slightly when working it. I attached a 1/2 thick oak piece about 6x6 on the underside where the press went. I used a light coating of wood glue, followed by half dozen screws short enough to not come out the top wood. Then after a couple days to make sure the glue was set I redrilled through the holes for the press. After attaching the press there was zero deflection and it remains strong to this day. I really like that table. From a center position my press in on my right, and my powder dispenser is on my left. I also have holes drilled in the center for my cartridge trimmer. For me, it is perfect as I am not in a big hurry, and being retired reloading is more like knitting for me lolPicked up another bench from Sam's Club so now I need to work on workflow and then I can start mounting things to benches. I am still undecided on whether to use the Inline Fab flush mount system for things to keep the bench tops clean or figure out the flow and leave everything set up. I have a pattern vise which will go on the front edge of the Sam's bench so I can clamp up a rifle if I had to. I will drill the hole for that tomorrow once I pick up my drill guide I loaned a friend, lol. Am lovin the drawer organizer from Home Goods. They are way cheaper than I can make them and it's nice you can just grab the whole tray out if needed. I need to put an air flow diverter on my AC outlet in the room. It really causes havoc with the AT. I also got a quote today to replace the carpet with the same VPF that is in the rest of our house. I didn't think about putting hardwood down in this room when we had the house built. All in all, it is coming together slowly.
If anyone has thoughts on placement or the use of the Inline Fab flush mount system I would love to hear your thoughts.

Sure is, as mentioned in an earlier comment I have some laminate flooring coming for that room in the next month or so.is that carpet on the floor ? not good
Personally, I prefer specialization. I would go with multiple presses set up for single functions rather than a multi function turret press. It is likely just a subjective thing, but that’s me lol2-3 more presses . nothing expensive . one for measurements one for crimping one for expanding mandrels . or one turret press
The turret is the way man. Having 2 turret presses is so much better if you have a few calibers you load for. No swapping out dies, just turn it and go.2-3 more presses . nothing expensive . one for measurements one for crimping one for expanding mandrels . or one turret press
Yeah, am leaning that way. I may go with the Inline Fab flush mount plates for a small Partner style press for decapping and priming with the Derraco PCPS priming tool I use.Personally, I prefer specialization.

I have really enjoyed my flush mount plates and qd work stations from inline Fab. I went back and forth between tracks and the flush mount plates and I am glad I went with the flush mounts. The tracks are cool but with the messes that I make, they'd always have crap in em and the flush mount plates leaves me regular bench on each side which I like.Yeah, am leaning that way.

It’s great, especially since it is press mounted, however one thing I discounted on the CPS is the superior short throw of the arm on the CPS. I am sure there is also more feel with the CPS. The Derraco is a great alternative for $220 you just have to live with the longer throw.How do you like that priming tool?

You should consider the spray foam insulation I put it in my whole house now I only run the heat on the first floor sufficient heat migrates up to the other two floors and the first floor is able to keep up. Before I renovated I couldnt keep the house above 68 degrees.

what will 1 1/2'' do ?The rest of the shop will be spray foamed at some point in the future. I got this R19 insulation from a friend who had it left over from a previous job. I couldn't pass that up.
The quotes for spraying 30x40x12 for 1.5" of closed cell was just over $5k
As far as R value? 1” of closed cell is 6-7what will 1 1/2'' do ?
and that only works out on paper . my self i'd have a hard time parting with +5K for that RAs far as R value? 1” of closed cell is 6-7
That quote sounds outrageous I did a 7000 sq ft house and it only cost me a might over 10k I would look for more bids and that was 6"The rest of the shop will be spray foamed at some point in the future.

Well there's a big difference in closed and open and it depends on when it was and what all I'd being done and what foam is used, ect.. also, 7000 sq.ft on 2 levels or 1 level? It's just not that simple to compare with that little of info from eitherThat quote sounds outrageous I did a 7000 sq ft house and it only cost me a might over 10k I would look for more bids and that was 6"
