    Very impressive! Now start a custom gun sock/sleeve business and that thing will more than pay for itself.

    Later, after I left home, I bought a 1930's pedal Singer for $2 at a barn sale. Used it for more than a decade until mom gave me one of her older machines.

    Your reloading bench project is a wonder to behold! Are you a teacher by profession, JohnnyEgo?

    Very kind of you, and no, not a teacher. Not enough patience for it, although adjunct professoring is part of my Plan B if retirement at 55 does not work out. Just middle management in a specialty division of a large and purposefully unnamed insurance company, and somewhat blessed to be given all the weird and sometimes interesting assignments. But if you ever need lessons in how to call a first line manager dumber than a box of rocks in a written evaluation without getting into hot water with HR, I'm your guy!

    Guess we finally landed. 60%ish down. My project for the next 5 years or so until we build another.
