Reloading bench

Loading Bench

Go to your local building materials store and look at shop benches or go on-line and do the same. Then buy your 2x4s and 3/4 plywood and hardware.
Use carriage bolts and don't forget to back-brace it. Mine is 4ft. long and 2 ft. deep. Mine is laid out (case trimmer on far left; then my RCBS press and then my powder measure. The case tumbler and scale on the far right. I use a short stool to sit on which makes the table top of the bench about half way up my torso. Finally, I keep it covered with an old bed sheet. Dogwalk

 

You can get one of these (stand) for around $100. Very sturdy and small footprint. They are made for a Lee so I had to drill some new holes and added the small piece of 1X6 for a small place I set my scale when setting up a new run.

 

i use a roll around tool cart from harbor freight, i took a couple small door hinges and piece of plywood and made a lid on top and mounted my press to the plywood lid and it also has a skid out drawer so i have 2 drawers plus the storage tray on the bottom, works well if you are dealing with limited space, its about 30 inches wide maybe a littil smaller and about 15 inches deep and about 30 inches tall, those are not exact measurement but close

 

here are a couple pics of my reloading station

 

i keep my tumbler out in my garage

 

i have one of those flexible head desk lights on a shelve next to my station and a tube light just in case i need it
