Luxurious Reloading Room

Yep along with your welder, torch, charcoal and other flammables and accelerants.

I do at least keep my black powder, friction primers, and cannon in a separate place.

Meh, I was welding this morning a mere 16 ft from all my powder and primers... Though of course they are in a steel cabinet, inside a 6 sided, 8" thick concrete room!

Half of my old shop had burned to the ground before the primers and powder went off. Rural FD was already there even. They went off about 30 seconds before the 4ft tall oxy and acetylene tanks ruptured.

Thank you. Luckily, insurance was wonderful. Replaced nearly everything with new. But lots of grandpas reloading stuff and notes went up in smoke.

10-15k primers going off is quite crazy. 30lbs+ of powder was in a wine fridge and went off just before the primers. Was just a single very dull thud (had one pound of BP) and a big increase in flame. Primers in a wooden cabinet went next like a fireworks tent, then the oxygen or acetylene bottle blew open big enough to fit a couple basketballs in. That was like a half stick of dynamite. Inspector said the fire was over 2000°.

I reload on barstools. Typically on my front porch next to the chest freezer where I can keep an eye on the washer and dryer. Of course that’s only when the weather is good. Rest of the time I setup in the garage where my cars would be parked if they weren’t all up on blocks in the yard.

I've posted these before. Was at the old lake house we owned, since moved, and I have a rather mundane basement setup now.

I miss the nice big room! Kinda cramped where I'm at now, unfortunately.

That was a bad A setup.
And I believe I spy an Ibanez RG, and is that a Mesa dual or triple Rectifier?

I'm a guitar guy myself. I really want a Mesa MKV

That's a mesa dual rectifier. Has a matched set of 6L6 tubes in it right now. I have a bunch of guitars, usually I play on my Gibson. Ibanez is good for .. "anger management" I suppose is the appropriate phrasing. Sometimes I'll go through some old school seek and destroy phases. I typically like playing blues though.

Last year I really changed it up though. Got bored and put out a few solo tracks, nothing too great, just experimental old school synth with a bit of guitar work. Wanted to blend synth and metal together (I also play keyboard);
