i i don`t have pix, but a coupla times I have seen portable setups that were a steel car rim on the floor with a vertical pipe
running up about four feet or so and a welded steel platform of about a square foot to bolt the press to. Place the foot on the rim to hold it while you set primers. Every thing else could set on a nearby table. When not using it, roll it out to the garage or closet. Hope this helps. |

Just bolt your reloader to a chunk of wood and clamp it to any solid table/desk op...

There is a massive thread about Reloading Benches that used to be tacked to the top. Scattered through the pages are several portable and temporary solutions.
This is what I made work for almost 5 years. I probably cranked out 10K of .40 S&W and probably half that in .223. Reloading Bench Thread

The Black and Decker work mate is pretty popular. Workmate. I remember a few people using them in the reloading bench thread.

Even on a tile or concrete floor, it rocks and shakes when decapping and sizing on the 30-06 The press is attached with 3/8' toggle bolts and there is a 3/4" sheet of plywood attached to the top of the WorkMate with 3'8" toggle bolts as well. There are also holes to mount my case trimmer on the size opposite the press. |

Northern tool sells a folding table made by keeter that folds up very well and has clamps that lock into the top.
http://m.northerntool.com/products/shop~tools~product_200586789_200586789?hotline=false I use one for a router table and pocket joint jig base amount other things. I just made a 2x4 base for them that the clamps hold in the table. Might be an option for a single stage press. All my wood working tools are setup to fold up into a very small space when not in use and a lot of them revolve around this table |

This is my poor man's setup. It's slow but gets the job done. It uses a lee single stage press and I recently added a powder dumper to speed up the process. If I am popping out primers I will just sit on the floor, any thing else I will C-clamp it to the counter/table top.

Almost all my gear is stored in a small, wheeled steamer trunk. Trunk is stored in a closet when not in use. A 2x6 plank is clamped down to my kitchen table (underside is buffered with carboard to protect the table) and the press is attached to the plank. Trunk is near the table during reloading. Only things not in the trunk are powder, plank, spent brass containers and tumbler. |
