reloading shot gun shells without a press

The first thing I started reloading was the 12 gage shells because my dad got me a nice multistage press for them. When I bought my 10 gage I realized it would be a good idea to reload the shells because they are expensive to buy. I did not have the money for a press so I looked at my dads old lee hand reloaders and figured out how they work. I went to the garage, found a funnel that would help recrimp the shell and used a hammer and rod to recrimp the shell. the end of the rod also serves as a primer seater. a tapered rob removes the primers. anyone with a drill and a grinder could easily make the rods. I had a lathe so I made some for my 410 shot gun shells too. just somthing to think about when money is tight.
