Powder Coating Lead Bullets
SS_N_NE:
I have a 15x40 lathe, 9x20 lathe, small mill, large CNC mill, Drill press, CNC 4x8 plasma table, TIG welder and lots of other machines/tools in my back yard garage. Downloaded an AR receiver model in CAD. May have to end one shortage for myself... ;D
Now I may have to add powder coat to my tools.

It was actually Unfy's determination to solve the plating challanges that caused me to join this forum. Although I am a Alabamian, i was born in Omaha! And I confess, I like to build stuff, and am not intimidated by complex problems. Here is the last project i did before I got into shooting.
The above is an underwater ROV with a 420p sony camera, 30 lb thrust motor with 6 fwd speeds and 2 reverse, 2 - 800 candlepower LED spotlights capable of depths to 70 ft. I am currently redesigning the steering to use ND magnets to magnetically couple steering thrusters instead of magnetically coupled rudders. I have tested in the pool, but not in the Gulf yet. The pros say "never put anything in the water that you are not willing to lose". I want the steering to work better before I go live!
I have also built a lot of loading tools. I believe in functional art, in other words not only should stuff work, but it should look good too! I picked up a PC gun at Harbor Freight today and will get the Walmart toaster oven tonight. I intend to coat my last batch of Muzzleloader bullets tomorrow, and then will start on my 458 SOCOM 350 gn bullets after I modify my mold base plug to include a pin that will allow me to pin mount my bullets for spray coating and baking.

Ooh, 15x40 lathe. Sweet. My 9x20 is not quite big enough to perform barrel work, and my skills are not good enough to trust doing it if it was.
Have you seen the AL reciever "paper weights" for $25? A coworker bought 5, and will give me one if I help him mill/drill one for him. They also sell a jig for setup if you can't do layout.

You guys are making me feel inadequate with my little 7x12 lathe. I'm going to have to go buy a Corvette or a Harley to compensate.

*drool at tools*
One day :P. I've considered the tiny $200 table top mini lathe. But I said 'no' because I knew I would just want a bigger one.
GreyGeek: wonderful thing that internet ;). Depending on topics chosen, I'd suggest TOR btw. Although ya got nothing to hide (a book is just a book after all)... take a step or two to avoid hassle down the line prolly aint a bad idea.
Dangerous: where about in AL are ya ? I lived in Pensacola, FL for many a year, have a few friends in AL, and we do some business/work in AL (yay tech industry). Also, by all means post pics of PC experiments :).
BK/color selection: good idea. My original thought was indifference to color... it's all just lead. But blue is actually a wise color to avoid due to civilian typical use for training etc. Kinda sad that can't do some RWB booooooolits just to be all American and stuff hehehe.
I'm gonna wake up, have a cup of coffee, and then give first stab PC a try with just some aluminum foil. Sadly, it's nearing 1800 and the BH will be closed so can't go try'em.
