Alternative Uses for Reloading Equipt...

[redneckmedic]

I use an old white board for notes and a supply list. After a while as you know it becomes stained with chicken scratch from the past. So I said to myself; "Self- what do I have in the reloading shop that is a good caustic cleaner?" That's when it hit me Hopps 9. It worked perfect, clean as a whistle!

So what other "alternative" life-styles does your reloading/gun equipt have?

I use my single stage as a holiday nut cracker

And my De-Burring tool to make baby carrots from big carrots

Wouldn't put nuts anywhere near my Rockchucker.

I use my case trimmer for a tooth pick lathe.

The nut cracker, WOW! I like that. That is pure manly. HAHA

In a pinch I imagine I could use my single stage as an arbor press, since that is essentially what it is.

I do use my turret press at times as an arbor press for some of my shorter Wilson chamber seater dies. Works great. I also have a regular arbor press as well. Both work though.

My wife used to use the treadmill as a clothes hanger.

I get asked to put up the reloading gear often. I have not got a prema spot. I don;t think i would use it for anything else.

I use my reloading scale to weight all sorts of tiny stuff that needs weighed for one reason or another...

I've used my Rock chucker as a quick "arbor press" like mentioned above...

hmmm... I'd have to think.... I'm sure I've used other thing for one reason or another and just never thought about it while I was doing it...

Speaking of treadmills. I turned mine into a tumbler.

Good idea. She never uses it.

Is the dime significant?

Coming into Los Angel ez, bring in a couple of keys................

Its a dime bag

I have used my tumbler to polish up other small parts.

Yes, I even use it to weigh out my curing salts when I'm curing/smoking meats... I think they're using the wrong salt in the picture though. Normally curing salt is colored pink so you don't confuse it with table-salt and OD on sodium nitrate.

I use my RCBS chargemaster to measure out the precise amount of sprinkles for each Christmas cookie.

I had a need to add grommets in the corners of a tarp. A ball bering and a rockchucker press works pretty good.

That is a pretty good looking unit. A lot of home treadmills are not very sturdy and hard to keep running for their intended use but should last a long long time for this!

What you built would also make a first rate ball mill for making black powder! I'm going to have to start watching craigs list and freecycle!

I think I could probably stand on it and it would not break. I can also move the roller bar for a different sized drum.
