Also thinking of building a bit of a lean-to veranda off the side, nice open area where i could do casting and possibly even try my hand at so blacksmithing (looking at some of the cool knives you guys have made are inspiring).

Good move brother Bentaz, good size and the insulation will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. I bought a 40ft High Cube reefer unit for my block up north, the temp out side can be 42c but inside is a comfortable 25c even without the freezer unit working. Maybe some of those plastic slats across the doorway would be a good idea to keep the bug out and the temp stable. Keep up with the pics as I'm looking for ideas on fit out :)

Looks good , I like it. Although it does have a certain serial killer, dungeon feel to it. All it needs is a stainless steel gurney and some of those weird plastic curtains :)

Lol Brett..

Funny story this Halloween, wife and child were out trick or treating and left a table of goodies for the trick or treaters on the front door an honour system.

I am in the den, reloading for my trip away and I had total view of the front..

Some teenagers come in and trash the table and start wrecking the decorations... to their surprise I appear out of nowhere like a mad man with a golf club..

Wife gets home I tell her what happens, my daughter simply says but why would they do that when you were making bullets! Ahhh kids...

Sorry to hijack..

You can adjust the aircon temp right?

Need a couple of fermenters in there, too.

Reloading bench, couple of beers brewing and a fee chunks of meat hanging equals best room in the world

Sooo, Ben, now that you have decided it is to become a brewery where will the reloading gear be going? :twisted:

I can store it for you if you like. :roll:

I wanted to put a 20ft fridge container out there to start with but couldnt get it in there.
When this came up already decked out with a switchbox power points and an aircon for a fraction of the price it was too good to pass up.
I couldnt have got a garden shed for that price.


You definitely got the bargain at $500! Fitted out for power too! :drinks: nice!

If the cool units are still good, I might be keen to buy them if you have no use for them. :thumbsup:

And thanks Brett. :drinks:

Keen to see the first rounds out of Ben's new press room now.

I'm considering sending the brother a shed warming gift, maybe a "Babe's and Boar's" Calendar if I can source a 2017 version :)

Fair call! :lol:

PS: I would think a locked and secured container should pass for ammo storage but, as you say, check with the police department.

Perhaps a stupid question. But wouldn't solder be better than epoxy? You could sweat them on.
I'm not sure how well secured it needs to be, probably not that great.
