We built a golf ball shooter cannon years ago among three of us. The guy storing it got divorced and moved away during the night. We never saw it again.
Man I'd bet $$ I'd enjoy you as a neighbor.. Dad and I had a special purpose machine shop prior to his passing moons ago.. Hats off to you, well done..I like to weld and build things from buildings to single and double axle trailers. No pics as both both are at the farm and I’m not.
I’ve modified some things for reloading to increase the speed since I shoot high volume.
One is the case trimmer. Converted it from manual to pneumatic assist so I can load a round in one handed and then use the other hand to bring the power head into the case mouth.
Next mod is to operate the power head with another power switch and pneumatic cylinder so every action will be by foot switches freeing up both hands to add and remove brass.
LOL, I think we're all glad they didn't inherit your hairy exterior.. Nice looking kids bud..

I've basically got a machine shop in my building. Everything from hydraulic pipe benders to lathes, mill, press, welders, plasma machines, drill presses, and so on. It's fun to tinker.
LOL, FOUR.. nice looking hope it fires well..
You do have a machine shop, I'll guess and say all manual for a craftsman and not cnc for simple button pushing..
Everything manual.
I'm limited to making bumps in the yard, sticking metal together, chicken coops and pig pens.. Planning on a cattle panel green house in the near future.. I'll have to come up with something more when retirement is closer..
What do you make? I took a 3D art class back in high school. We’d use jewelers saws to cut out various types of metal to make jewelry. Never finished my last project nearly 20 years ago because of the tornado. I’ve always held onto it though with the intention of one day finishing.
I'm gonna start building bits, spurs and buckles. Maybe a few knives. The jewelers saw will be for cutting silver, brass and copper etc. for fancying things up.
