Thanks for starting this thread!!!

Building mine next month. Walls are up, sheet rocked, power and lights in. Then I stopped several years ago. Gonna get a concrete floor and build benches.

I got some great ideas from looking at these. And I’m envious.
 
Chuck. Who makes that vault door? I’m finishing our basement and a vault door is in the list. I’m following the other thread that’s open on the subject as well.

Basically it's the size of a 3car garage:D

The initial plan was to co with "under the front porch", but the builder suggested going with under the garage. The additional construction costs weren't that bad, deeper concrete footings, a couple of large I beams, and an additional re-enforced garage floor/"bunker roof". It's on it's own zone for the geothermal unit, the rest of the house is ICF construction. Sold the concept to my wife as an enhanced "storm" shelter. Someday I might even have to give her the combo......

2. My Rockchucker and my 550. Room for a case prep area. And most importantly, storage for components and finished products. The wall my bench is gonna go along is 18’ 6”.

But I also want room for my 3 shotgun presses, 600jr for 12 and 20, and a MEC 650 for 12 gauge. That stuff will probably have to go on a separate bench along a 12’ 6” wall.

Then there’s the fly/jig tying bench.

And a separate bench dedicated for cleaning/maintaining/repairing weapons.

Room should look like a horseshoe when I get done.

Already bought a 20’ connex box to put all the junk I have stored in there now.

Luxury is in the eye of the beerholder... I mean beholder
My "shop" is a 10'x15' storage building that houses nearly all my tools, many of the parts for my 66 mustang that's being resto-modded, as well as my reloading setup and other stuff.
Not luxurious in the classic sense I suppose, but it has heat/air, a stereo, and opens up to my bar/grill area that has a mini fridge with beer and water. So it's luxurious to me, lol. Though it could use a good cleaning

Nah, haha. I love my mustangs, but it's a to each their own kinda thing. My daily drivers are Toyotas. I like cruising and going fast once in a while, but my "racecar" days are behind me. After a certain point it's money that wins races anyway.

In all seriousness my primers and powders are stored in factory packaging on the same shelf in my building, but I don't weld, grind, or use open flame in there due to safety concerns and lack of proper ventilation.
The propane and charcoal are outside of the door about 12 feet away, and I wheel the charcoal grill out into the yard when in use out of precaution. There's also a fire extinguisher mounted beside the door to the shop.
And the black powder and friction primers are stored in locked wood cabinets with the cannon.
I do try to be cautious
