    I was in total lock step with ya yesterday. Today, I'm still awestruck by Harrylee's ingenuity.

    That's quite the machine Harrylee. I don't have a sizer thus I'm not up to speed on their operation, but I think I follow what you written about your power feed (photos help a lot ). Does that clothes iron help with with lube/wax feed or something else?
    Any chance we might see a video of the unit in action?
    Let me finish with a tip of the hat to you sir

    With much respect,
    Greg

    Having the distinct pleasure of watching this monster come together, i`ll tell ya i`m still in awe.
    The iron is for heating/melting the wax lube... notice it sitting on an aluminum plate, conducts the heat superbly. temp is controlled by a home made electronic control (amazing piece by it self)
    In memory of great-grammy; never understood a word she yelled in polish, but we all knew what she meant.

    Hey Greg, as Buzzy said it for heating the wax so it flows properly. There is a probe in the base unit that goes to a PID (proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller) that I built for my melt pot and also works with this. It’ll hold the set temperature within 1 or 2 degrees of set point. Gee gives me a headache just thinking of all that, but now up and running it is a wonder to behold. I can throw 300 rounds in the hopper and let it do it’s thing while I’m on the manual side pulling the handle. Here’s my past write ups on the base build and the PID build. Got done today running 2000 bullets thru it and only 1 bullet didn’t flip the right way that’s real good performance. As far as the wax you have to find the sweet spot for the temperature different waxes have different melt points. And as far as a video I have been thinking of getting a youtube account, if I do I would be happy to share this

    I've seen this work (very cool) and it is amazing that Harrylee, isn't a fokking millionaire.
    Sell the concept to Dillon, they'll make it purdy in Blue.

    Remember that Game "Mousetrap" that's a product harry could make, even better!

    Great work HarryLee

    Creative use of wood
    Most tinkerers envision stuff made of steel, and don't have the equipment to machine it, so never follow thru on their designs.

    I make prototype slides/levers/arms/stuff out of wood with simple tools too, and it often remains on the finished assembly.

    Way to go, waiting for further development postings,
    I apologize if my post contains the same or similar information as someone who has posted before me.

    Default Progress report

    Progress report on the bullet feeder reliability. Just got done running 3100 cast bullets thru the feeder and only 1 bullet didn’t flip nose down. Now in my book that’s real good odds. Took my time to try to find any and all flaws in the feeding system, and looks like I got it.

    Well done sir, I'd call that stone cold reliable. I find myself trying to think up idea's for other stuff for you to build.

    Ever consider putting a Harley Engine in a wheelchair?
