I'm looking to add 2-3 small plastic parts bins to the edge of my workbench that can be removed / swapped out.
Anyone have a source? Looking for something that I can keep my brass / projectiles close to the press. Something like this, but would fit on the edge not like a peg board type deal. 
Thanks |

I can't remember where I got them... Home Depot? Harbor Freight? I'll see if the bins have a manufacturer on them when I get home. |

If you have a Menards by you they have them. They also have the plastic pieces that you screw to your wall or bench to hold them.
About once every two months Menards will have a $.65 rebate on the bins too. (They cost $.65) so you essentially get them for free. I have hundreds of them, my wall in my reloading room has rows of them mounted for storing everything. |

They opened a Menard's about 15 mins from my house a couple months ago and I haven't made it over there yet. I found them on their site and I'll go grab several over the weekend. |

Harbor Freight has a few different kinds.
This one is $10 and comes with the strips that mount on the wall or bench side to hang the bins from Here |

I got some from Home Depot. You can pick from various sizes and colors.

Menards has huge assortment of acro bins.
My shotgun loading bench has two plastic drawers I bought at Walmart. I pulled the drawers out of the case and screwed that to the bottom of the bench in a convenient place for wads. This photo shows a bracket for a bin that came with the Grand, but I never use it. The LH drawer is just out of side to the right.

I had some extra bins lying around, so I just grabbed some angle brackets I had in my junk drawer to mount one. I had two mounted one my old bench, and I'll probably mount the other on this bench too. They really are handy in that location. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3767/10989726805_6d2caf9176_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3690/10989822014_38ae429161_b.jpg Nice and simple... I like it. |

The DIY suggestions are probably best, but this Lee Bin and Bracket is available at (eg) Midway for $11. It's meant to be attached to Lee's tripod stand, but you can easily mount it to the side of a workbench.

I've been messing around with different things and not really loading. Here is a picture of my bin set up. I used the large Home Depot bins, but seeing the bins at Harbor Freight posted, I'm going to get a set of those to mount to the side of my bench to store all my brass, which will free up some under bench storage. As far as bin size, I think the bins I went with are a little too large. They hold ~ 500+ rounds, which is more than I would load in one session.Smaller bins would keep me closer to the work area as well as decrease the reach distance for the next piece. Smaller bins would also allow brass and bullet bin to be side by side. Right now, I have brass in the bin and put bullets on the bench top.

Just a FYI, I was at Menards yesterday and they have the small red Akro bins for sale for $.65 a piece with a $.65 rebate.
You are limited to only 10, but what I do is I do a few separate orders, tgen I get a rebate sent to my house, parents house, in-laws house ect |

I bought my black ones at Home Depot, but I didn't care for the limited length and flimsy yellow plastic anchors.
In the shop I found some old door sweeps and converted them to akro bin anchors just by removing the foam part and drilling fastening holes: 
A glass shop will probably have alum. "z" metal that would work too. |
