I don’t see it on HF currently but this is basically the same as my current bench. I got it as a gift so not sure exactly where it was bought, though I always assumed HF.

That said, if buying new, something a bit smaller like this may be better.

I set up and took apart a bench built with these 2x4 basics legs in a few rentals before buying my current house where I planned to build a nice bench. I’m still rockin this bench now 5 years later though.

Oh man I forgot about those kits! That’s probably what I’ll end up doing. Thanks for the reminder. I like the roller cart set up as well

It's certainly easy and surprisingly solid. Probably costs quite a bit more than it did back then to put the lumber together.

I got a cheap work bench off of Amazon and bolted some 3/4" thick wood to the top of it for support.
Added wheels to the bottom to make it easy to move around. Not high end but it works. I was going for cheap, theres nice work benches that you can get as well but it works for me.

I don't have any pictures, but when I was living in an apartment my reloading bench was a black and decker workmate. I mounted the press to the end of a 2 foot long piece of 2x8 that had a second piece turned 90 degrees and screwed onto the bottom so the workmate could clamp onto it and had an eye bolt on the other end so I could use a carabiner and a loop of 550 cord to hang a dumb-bell on it for counter balance. Had the powder measure mounted basically the same, but on a shorter piece of wood with no counter weight.

When put away, the press with board sat in the corner of the closet and the workmate folded up next to it. everything else went into a rubbermaid container and slid under the bed.

it is a hood press by matt owens at arkomachine. it has a carstensen click adjustment for the sizer and takes screw in seaters.
it was designed to fit in a tool box.
the right one is a copy fo sorts.

I made a portable set-up. An old restaurant table base with a scrap of 1/4 inch steel for a top. Drag it into a closet or carry it where ya want....

Great set up, I made mine where the top comes off and round instead of rectangular. Nice job. Midway used to sell a 3 piece set up with a base, tube and top for about $75 bucks. I made 2 out of Aluminum plate easier to move around.

I moved into a rental and set up a very basic reloading bench using collapsible sawhorses and a piece of 3/4 plywood.
Drilled mounts for the press, bought a cheap clamping vise from Harbor Freight.
Used C-clamps for keeping the plywood on the sawhorses.
Hand drill for sizing.
The tumbler sits on the floor.
Dropper on a heavy piece of scrap oak I had laying around.
Everything works.
