This is going to be a long, hopefully detail filled thread on a few things.

If you have been following my post about safes lately, I have been ranting and raving about Liberty Fatboy safes. I was surprised this morning by Mrs. ICS with a Fatboy Jr.

(For the emotional OBers) We went by Mike Wards and I started talking to the sales person about the full size Fatboy. Mrs ICS sneaked around the other side of the store and put a note in a Fatboy Jr that said "Merry Christmas, ICS". On a side note, they had great prices on a Jr. but the full size were very very overpriced. It was so overpriced that I could not justify paying the difference for the full size.


Anywho, the safe is being delivered Friday and I need a light setup to put in the safe. I have been looking at kits and they range from $50-$150. None have great reviews and none are exactly what I want. Does anybody know a kit or can explain how to make a decent light setup for a safe?

Second, I am finally turning my gun room into a gun rooom, currently its a junk room. I want to start reloading ASAP and need some good tables to get everything setup on. I have heard of people building their own and others using Harbor Freight tables. Did anybody buy their reloading table and love it? I am looking online at different plans to build one but am not against buying one.

Lots more questions to come, Buffalo trace and Coke.

I saw that kit and it looked good. I was thinking about running that around the front frame of the safe and getting a second kit to run around the back of the safe. Not sure if they can all be plugged into the same set (like Christmas lights) or not.

I believe they can. You might be surprised at how much light a single kit on the front frame of the safe will put into a safe.

I believe it. But, for only $40, its still much cheaper than any kit offered by Liberty or Browning. Also, does that kit include a pressure switch? Im bout to reopen the link but I cannot remember.

I dont use lights in my safe. Just never needed them. I have a Patriot safe and it came with lights, but I never needed them.

I would look more into dehumidifiers than lights, I use a rechargeable one that plugs into the wall to charge. I have two and just swap them out, but Id rather one that runs constantly.

my reloading table is an old bench I was able to get out of an old rental of mine, it is wood, so no static charges can be built, and it has s a cabinet and shelves below, it can be locked if need be. I want to expand to something larger and that looks nicer but I have to have a cabinet lower for storage and I like to have a wood top. Once again you can go on Craigslist and prob find a good one, I let to nice ones go the past year, so next one similar I am getting it.

I bought rope lights and a motion sensor plug in for mine. It turns on when the door opens and stays on for five minutes. If im working around it and need to go back in, it turns on as I approach.

I have it plugged in with the dri-rod to the internal outlet
