Bedroom remodeled and turned into reloading room.

[Mike K]

I am still extremely new to reloading, but I started to remodel the other bedrooms and I couldn't have my reloading room looking dated. So, I figured before I got the reloading room completely setup, I might as well knock it out too. Not that I want to completely cover the walls, but any recommendations for gun/shooting/military pictures I could put up? I know I could do a search online, but figured I would see what some of your favorites were or what you have already.

Special note on the flag - While I was working in Afghanistan, one of my high school friends that joined the Marines got deployed to the same base I was working on. He is a crew chief for one of the Marine Osprey airplanes and I was lucky enough to get him to fly my flag on his plane.

I like it overall, but you should have got ride of the carpet.

Very nice! Makes me realize just how small my spare bedroom is.

That's something I strongly considered. I just didn't want one bedroom with hard wood floors and the rest carpet.

The wide angle lens distorts the picture and makes the room look bigger than it really is. The bench with the reloading equipment on it is 8' and the other one is 6'.

Looks great man! yeah carpet is gonna give you some hell, but no matter, you can always pull it out when you want to.

Very nice. I need to do that to mine and build a actual bench instead of using a old desk.

Baller!

Maybe I am overlooking the downside to having carpet... how is it going to give me hell? Like I said, I'm pretty new to reloading, so I am open to suggestions.

That is my long-term plan. The work benches that are in there now will be moved to the garage as soon as I get it built and I will make custom benches. My only problem right now, aside from the lack of space, is that I'm not familiar enough with the reloading process to know how I want my benches set up. So, in the meantime, I plan to use the benches until I am familiar enough to come up with a design that works for me. That will also be a good time to re-think the carpet in the room.

Baller!

It's hard to feel like a baller when you're doing all the work yourself.

Looks awesome Mike!

Spent primers get in the carpet, tough to vacuum up. Also, you are going to spill powder. Maybe a tiny bit here and there, but it adds up and accumulates over time.

At least that is my experience for the brief time I had carpet under my loading bench.

I got back to work on mine last night trying to finish up the shelves so i can get organized. It looks good!

The first time you spill a cup of spent primers, box of projectiles, or a cylinder full of powder, you'll know.

I love the feel of carpet, but kitchens, bathrooms and reloading rooms I would have a sweepable flooring.

[Mike K]

That makes sense. I didn't even think of mishaps like spilling primers. It must be fun fishing primers out of carpet.
