Portable/foldable reloading bench.

[SanPatHogger]

So I built a really nice heavy duty workbench out of used pallet 2x4s. 2x4s across the top. Really nice and solid. But its in the garage and my RCBS Rockchucker and Lee Turret press are getting rusty with the south Texas humidity.
I am looking to maybe mount them to a foldable workbench to keep them and use them inside.
Any suggestions on brands or styles? Maybe a home made solution?

Thanks in advance.

What’s your coffee table made of? 2 to 4 holes aren’t all that noticeable and some wing nuts means it cleans off quickly and easily too.

I use a grinder stand.

i have a workmate type shop stand that i made an insert for with my press on it

+1 for the WorkMate. Might be able to find one used on CL, and make a heavy-duty top for it from scrap.

Another option might be to build a 'clone' of the C4M3R0N stand, to put on top of the WorkMate to raise things up to a more comfortable height.

I recently moved my reloading from the garage to a spare bedroom. I use the Lee Reloading Stand and a sturdy folding table. With two of the largest concrete blocks in hangers, the stand is solid and I’m very satisfied.

You're welcome.

Portable Reloading Press Plans

I wanted to create a portable reloading press stand that I could mount my full-size RCBS Rockchucker...

Same.

I put some plywood on top. Still folds when I clear all the shit off:

I've seen various options over the years. Personally I went big and settled on a Gladiator Bench. Other options as pointed out are the portable benchrest setup like above, the BD workbench or similar, purchase a table kit from HD that has 2x4 brackets or one of the wuhan benches from harbor freight. For a while my shooting parter and I used something like the Frankford Arsenal portable stands. It supported an o-frame and Dillon SDB. Just not a lot of room on it, but portable nonetheless.

Thank you all very much. Great setups. I'm going to copy a couple of these.
