Reloading room/shop - 01/31/24
I'm getting closer ever day to finishing my reloading room. All of the lumber is trees my father, brother and I felled and milled into dimensional lumber from trees off our land. I can tell you this for sure; Once you start to mill your own lumber, it is starkly obvious how bad lumber you buy at stores is. The room will be 15x30 with 10' walls.
The entire shop will be spray insulated and the walls will be finished in 1x6 lumber that is currently stacked and drying. The reloading room will be heated and cooled. I am still debating on the AC/Heat for the entire shop. I cannot figure out how to seal the garage door well enough to keep it cool efficiently.
I have cut white oak and pin oak to make the bench tops. The room with the pocket door openings is the bath room/large sink room that will be under a clinical vent hood to vent the air to the outside of the building when cleaning/tumbling brass.
It should be more than enough room to accommodate the 3 of us and all our components and gear, even if we are all 3 using it at the same time. I'm pretty proud of the effort, but there is a lot more work to go.
Edit: This is my first time doing anything like this. So, any errors you see are from ignorance and inexperience, but I think it will serve.
