Any jobs custom reloading?

[okie]

"Commercial industrial carpenter" I have something right up your alley. Check out my "Do it yourself stockmaking thread" . Then check out my "duplicator " thread. Start making stocks. Good carpenters are hard to find!
I've "read" a lot about ammo makers paying horrible sums for insurance. One lawsuit could take everything you have. Stock making would be the safer route. I'm enjoying it as a hobby. I think about it becoming a business someday but I'm on the fence. My wife has some health issues that need my attention and time. It' hard to make a schedule. There is a definite need for a wood stock builder. I get requests to do work almost daily and I'm not advertising. Think about it.

How tenacious are you? I bet there would be more than a few competition guys who would pay for component sorting: i.e. BTO lengths, case weights, case volumes, ect. It would keep you in the reloading room, but away from a Class 6.

That'd be perfect training for painting ceramic squirrels in some nut house or old folks home on project day.

I entertained this very same idea, doing custom loads for individuals. Upfront, you think minimal expense to make some money doing an enjoyable task.
The Class 6 FFL and insurance are one thing, but now with the Class 6 powder storage becomes an issue too, may even need a Class 1 to store anothers rifle, I did not look that far.
I could fill this page with cons opposed to the pros, the recipes for disaster are too many, and I'm not even talking liability issues.

class 07 takes care of both firearms and ammo manufacturing,plus you can buy and sell,also.separate your work area from your house,I,m talking building and land,incorperate,,all this
due to one possible lawsuit,ask me I know,,been there done that,,you win the suit but you still lose,can't contersue someone with nothing,also it protects your other assets,house,cars
and maybe your life if your wife gets upset for having to live in a TENT..

When I retired out of body shop after almost 30 years I went freakin bonkers. Thought I needed to be doing something. So i striped my sled boat. Figured I'd repaint it, repower it and go fishing
So I did. It's the black 1, green drift is my nephews. Painted that also.
o I've been so busy in retirement that I'm selling my power boat. Mostly painting friends n families rigs. Just don't have time to use it as much as I'd like. Ther's always another project. This is the second mustang seance retirement so if your lookin for something to do quit lookin it will find you.
Maybe build decks and gazebo's for people. License and insurance would be cheaper.

If you're of an age to retire, I'm sure you're of an age to think things out before taking the plunge, which would be my final bit of advise.

on another note,,If you load for your friends and something happens,you will find out just what kind of friend they are,think LAWSUIT,never,and I do mean never,do work for
friends or RELATIVES .they always want more,,

Radarcarve. Google it. If I were thinking about doing a business, I'd go for a ten k machine, tho.

Retirement isn't for everyone. The sad truth is if you didn't have a hobby or past time BEFORE you retired, it's unlikely you'll have one after and you'll wind up frustrated and looking to find another job or wishing you kept working. Have seen this scenario many times.

if you got a big enough piece of dirt,plant a garden,if big enough sell a little,have something to eat,and set up to shoot the critters,NUF said,,

not to discourage the OP or hijack his thread but in my time in the building trades ive seen thousands of carpenters and not one did the work you do on those stocks. You know its more like furniture or cabinet making. I imagine the OP has the skill to do it but just sayin

Thanks. I'll tell you my secret.......................it's all in the wrist.
