The room also has a couple of books shelves and a cabinet for powder, primer, die, and mold storage. The casting area is out on the back porch.

Nice setup. I only have one 5 foot bench and no shelving yet.

Looks like a nice place to work! What is the green loop thingy in the second picture down?

That green loop is the handle to a vacuum cleaner. Every once in awhile the floor gets cleaned weather it needs it or not. :o it easier to clean the floor than the bench tops. LOL

Is the ShopVac Duster really worth it? I would love to stop buying canned air. It feels as dumb as buying bottled water.

I've got the DataVac "can air" blaster. For me it's perfect. As long as it's plugged in you've got continuous can air force and a much higher volume of compressed air. It great for cleaning out computers, gun parts, dies, everything! After it been running for a couple of minutes the air stream get warmer and helps dry parts faster that just came out of the ultrasonic.
