Well, got one of those good news/bad news situations at home now. Good news is that I'm gonna be a dad, bad news is that I have to give up the reloading room for the baby. Luckily I have 7 more months to get everything figured out and situated.
We have a 3rd bedroom that the wife uses as an office/sewing room. She teaches art/french/sewing for a living, so I've got to figure out some kind of system to keep my stuff in there, but keep it out of the way, and out of sight (she's not sure what some parents would think.) She's willing to empty out the closet in there for me, so I'm thinking I just need to build myself a little workbench in there, and mount my presses to boards which can either be clamped to the workbench when needed or slide into a sort of "french dovetail" setup on the workbench.
So, I have two types of questions for you folks:
1: Anybody have a situation where they've had to set up a minimally invasive reloading bench? I know some of you really enjoy showing off your nice setups. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
2: Obviously there are some lead compounds in fired primers and residue. All the reloading stuff will be moved out, and I plan on washing down all the walls, vacuuming the carpet and using our steam cleaner to thoroughly clean it. Those three steps should eliminate any stray lead-containing dust in the room, correct? Anything else I need to take precautions with, other than the obvious?
Thanks guys.
