No guns or people were harmed during this reloading room accident!
Spent some time this morning repairing my 30 year old separator I've used a lot. It was involved in a hit and run while stored in a corner of my gun room! Just sitting there innocently when some hard cases stacked against the wall suddenly fell and landed on the old separator demolishing it! A few broken pieces including one of the two catches that keep it closed while turning. I ordered a replacement, but while I was waiting I got bored and grabbed some aluminum sheet metal, a drill and my pop rivet gun, and went to work on it! It's plenty solid now, but looks battle worn. Had to tape the pieces in with duct tape before plating them as they wouldn't stay put while I drilled and riveted them otherwise!
This old separator has the huge "funnel" that fits a 5 gallon bucket, and ensures no media gets away!
