Glad I could help
I needed a place for all my scrap wood, and long boxes/rifle cases/etx
4.5’ wide x 8’ long. Those 3 pieces of wood, are the scrap 10” pieces from the workbench build

If you insulate it all and have an ac unit( be that a split system or a window unit, so long as you have one with a thermostat that maintains the temp in there , it will be fine. You really have to have air conditioning or it's just not good. Now you could store powder inside the house and then just bring it out to load and thus, not have to have the ac running all the time out there. That would work but if you want to keep it out there you need ac
Any recommendation on what I can do better?
Build a big wooden box, with independent dehumidifier??
No exposure to direct to outside doors/window/garage door. Some kidn of wood partitione shelving for hazmat purposes. If you want to dual-zone climate control, proably a way to do a cabinent in various configurations. Some guys might do cabinetry, other guys might drop a small closet, etc.
Another alterntive, eg is just do charging operations on your bench, etc and store powder in an area already climate controlled, or whatever.
Gucci tier? Looks like humidor for cigar storage, with digital kestrel drops in each powder keg, etc. LOL...hey when its $5/shot...
Litz basic point was that if you are reloading for single-digit SDs, adivised to keep track of humidity both level and ∆levels, because h20 content impacts the way the powder converts to energy. Basically its a source of MV variation and SD ∆ that is big enough to show up on target.
Got more insulation complete tonight
(2) buckets of 45 are cleaned
Little by little, keep making progress whenever I can
Currently sitting on rafters, stapling the wiring down for an outside light… almost done with all electrical!!
Hopefully by tonight, I’m cleaning up, and organizing reloading equipment!!
Circuit box is complete and cleaned up
Part of my patch collection up
Exterior lights all done
Bench with all (3) dedicated 20A power strips installed
Tomorrow I’ll be down at shop setting up all the machines and hopefully getting them all running!!
Very nice setup, very cool to have that much space as a blank template to build from! The Spotted Cow is a nice touch too, Id say you need a few more! Where is the fridge going?
Supernice setup.
I'm a bit paranoid and averse to thieves, however. The first thing I would add is something to cover the windows and keep prying eyes from seeing in.....and possibly installing bars or barricades to keep them from getting in through a window.
I hate a damn thief.
It is a problem that is getting worse by the day, too.

3 of the 6 windows are insulated and screwed over with 3/4 plywood..
Window coverings are going up tomorrow when I go down to the shop, for the last 3 windows
Cover the windows and put up a "beware of large dog" sign and you will be ok
You can also get cheap motion detectors that just make a loud noise when they go off

Haha.. whatever I get for patches, goes up there, doesn’t matter what it is
Just fyi- whenever and whatever you do with the ceiling will throw a lot of dust and stuff down on your equipment and all so cover everything with some painters plastic when you go to insulate the ceiling ect... looking like a great amd spacious place!
Car was even better after this pic, full aero, big Bimmerworld CF wing, and built motor. Got down into the 2:05s at VIR full course.
Miss my race car for sure. Race license and instructor for most of the HPDE clubs
Getting there… need to fix the 9mm machine, it’s not indexing properly, so I can keep that running, and I’m getting the 45 ACP machine set up today. Time to get this party started.. little by little
Sweet.
Got Press #1, running like a top, processing 9mm, and finally got the CP2000 bolted to bench.
Need to order some parts, but it’s going to get there. Should be cranking out processed LPP/SPP 45acp by this weekend
I have 100k pieces to process
Got 4 buckets cleaned/rollsized today, so as soon as machine is running, it’s game on
I don't see fire extinguishers.
You might consider halon.

AFFF for liquid fires. Not a good choice here.
Fair.. I’ll take the halon system off my ship, and get it installed. Hope we don’t have a fire in TACTAS
Foam is better .Fair.. I’ll take the halon system off my ship, and get it installed. Hope we don’t have a fire in TACTAS
CP2000 is up and running. Needs some tuning, but she’s rolling.
45cap processing/sorting LPP and SPP is up and rolling, along with the S1050 processing 9mm
Precision rifle reloading bench is complete
Formica or Wilsonart laminate makes a superior surface .
Dang man, you ready to kick out some serious rounds
Serious brass processing!!
Nice job setting up your workshop. Many of the concerns they were pointed out. Awesome.
The only thing that I could see that should be addressed is, putting a precision machine next to that drafty garage door.
I grew up in North Carolina and I definitely know that the heat humidity is rough on tools.
Good luck with your operation.

Precision rifle is going by the TV, farthest from the garage door for that reason exactly
I was referring to the Dillon 2000.
I guess I’m a little lost..
I don’t have a precision Dillon item by garage door. Unless you mean the Super 1050 on an Ammobot. If so, that will be fine. Those things are tanks
That what it was, sorry for the confusion. Don’t know/own Dillons.
