I have a lot of respect for people that have to re-engineer tools (or make them from scratch) no matter how they look.
I got tired of lining my comparator up with the bottom of my dial guage .... my 8 year old's lego and some electrical tape solved that problem.
Likewise, some scrap 3/4 MDF and drill press allowed me to make a "super sized" sorting/reloading tray !
I won't steel your patent ideas if you don't steal mine !

" a big shag carpet in my reloading room captured 99% of the primers,"
I used to have a shag carpet under my loading area. It almost cost us the house. powder accumulated in it and caught fire from some dripping hot solder.
2 fire extinguishers failed to put out the spreading fire. The thick toxic smoke made my last entry the last. I dumped water on the fire and drownd it. Powder is hard to put out.
A jerry can of water is a good thing to have in the loading room.

I use a plastic shopping bag, with a steel clothes hanger bent over the protruding base mounting bolts. It holds a lot of spent primers and catches those that want "fly".
It holds a lot of primers and other bits of whatever collects on the bench, such as the cleaning/lube cloths I wipe the presses down with after I'm finished.
Kjohn, I like your tray, good work. Looks much neater than the bags I attach.

I'll have everybody know that the tray and attaching parts were all specially ordered and built in my custom engineering shop.
It actually works quite nicely. The primers come flying out of the groove like on a ski jump, so they mostly get fired to the far side of the tray.
The only addition to this contraption is a little piece of tape over the little bump where I cut a little piece out, just under where the shell holder is sitting.
