While the wife is away I'll play..
« on: April 12, 2012, 07:36:34 PM »
The wife and kid are in portand till Monday, and I decided to break the silence around here by doing some projects I have wanted to do but didnt have time in the past for.   :chuckle:  I made a few  :rolleyes: trays for my reloading bench and for a few friends tha reload. I used plywood and drilled 25 holes per tray.  I know a few holes are slighly offcenter but other than that, I believe they will work great, and my friends will be stoked to get a couple.  :IBCOOL:

you might look for a fostner bit.  you won't get the deep pilot hole of the paddle bit and they cut super clean.  looks like a nice project! :tup:

I've done the same thing for reloading my waterfowl shells. If you use a fostner bit like 742 said it will come out a lot cleaner. :twocents:

Is that a special bit, or can one pick it up at any ace or homedepot?  Thanks for all the kind comments guys :tup:   I used two of the blocks today a few times and produced a case of shells using my recipe and #2 steel shot.

They look like this and work slick for what you are doing!
