I just let the thermocouple sit there hanging in space. Mine has a larger end on it so it can't fall into the oven. It just protrudes into the top section of the oven above the trays of bullets.Did you do anything to anchor the thermocouple in place? Also, How much damage will one of those Lab Radar units do to my wallet?
I have to run electric and insulate before I start on any kind of drywall work. In fact, drywall will be put up AFTER my bench is complete. It is much easier to make a change when you can still get to all the guts.Mark the stud locations clearly if you sheetrock it. You would be best to bolt
the loading bench to the wall to steady it. Knowing exactly where the studs are is
a time saver.
