Well here are a few pics of the before and after basement reloading room. Started off by throwing away a truck load of junk. I use UGL Drylock paint on the block walls (the fumes will absolutely make you sick for a day), installed 1/2" styrofoam sheet insulation on the walls before studding. Ran all new electric and lights (7 can lights and (2) 4' flourescents above work areas) Treated bottom plate and standard wood studs. Installed rolled insulation and drywall. Primed and painted and rebuilt my old kitchen cabinets. Installed laminate snap together flooring and built double 3/4" countertops (18 feet long). I use Formica for the countertop and it turned out great for my first time!
Well the shelving was built heavy enough to park a small tank on and everything else turned out great. Plan on using an older computer for reloading data etc. I mounted the presses on a extra 1"+ piece of poplar stair tred and C clamped it to the bench. The funny thing is that I have never reloaded ammo. Got the stuff and time to learn. Once I get comfortable I will permanently mount everything. I do need a good electric case trimmer if you have any suggestion.
Please feel free to chime in on set up!
