That's a purdy sweet set-up there.

How long does it take you to set-up?

Once set-up what's your approx hourly production?

The pot holds 60lbs, everything else is ready to go before its up to temp.

Depends on what mold I am running but around 500/hr.

Great Scott what a noise. I must say, CHEATING! :D

But seriously, very nice. I am assuming that's not a regular powdercoat you are throwing on so violently in the tumbler? I'd be expecting powder all over the place - I shake and bake using recycled plastic butter tubs. BTW, the one pictured above was old, when I started - I use much less powder with many more airsoft BBS now. That is quite the clever setup, did it take long to put together? I take 30 minutes to cast up 150 bullets and then all afternoon to shake and bake 50 at a time in my mini toaster over.

I can tell I am not getting much done in my shop compared to JMorris, but I am not going to be envious or discouraged.

I just ordered a new rat trap for my shop.

I just have to presume that you are doing this for resale so if this is the case what are your calibers, weights and how much?
