$56 Portable Reloading Bench

My reloading equipment has been stored in a cabinet for over 30 years due to limited space for setup. Well I got the bug again to workup some 69-77 grain bullet loads for my new Ruger Scout.

Walking through Costco yesterday, i found this Keter "Ultimate Workbench" on sale for $42.
~3'x2' worktop, Plastic, yet unbelievably sturdy & it folds up to ~3" thick.

I reinforced under the front edge with a piece of 2x4, to clamp my press to, but that had some flex when operating the press. So I went to the home depot & for $14 i got a 4' piece of 2x6, an assortment of 2" bolts and tee nuts.

Now I can setup the bench and mount any or all comonents in less than 5 minutes.
I sized and swaged a few pieces of brass to test it out and was surprised how this setup was nearly as sturdy as as a full blown bench. Nice little woodworking table when not reloading too.
