Well done, bro'! American inventiveness at it's finest. Any clock makers in your family history?

Can you regulate the length of time a casing is exposed to the flames? Or did I miss that I the explanation? Are you intending to drop the cases into that pan full of water? Iused to water quench but now I let them air cool. It seems to be working well on any rifle cases I've tried to date - 45-70, 50-70, .309, .30-'06, .270.
I've yet to anneal any pistol brass, but I may do some .45 Colt to make them more amenable for BP sealing.

This looks like a real production machine and you are probably going to acquire a lot of friends looking to have some brass annealed!

I was proud of the gadgetry I put together using an electric screwdriver and my verbal count for exposure. I am truly humbled.

Thanks,

You simply change the voltage to the motor to change the amount of time the case spends in the flame.

Dropping annealed brass in water does nothing to the state of anneal. Air cool or water cool does the same thing.

I'll let them aircool so I don't have to deal with water in the shop.
