I was tired always having my workbench tied up reloaders and sizers so I built this stand on wheels with adjustable height for different chairs, etc. I can use all 4 pieces of equipment with unbolting anything and move it anywhere in my shop.
I also built this cover for my lead pot when Butternutz's sent me my PID which keeps temp with in 1 degrees the whole time I am casting.

Nice, makes sense. I have one of Butternutz's PIDs and they are beyond useful.

That's a nice stand, but it sure takes up a lot of floor space when not in use.

It is about 32 in. in diameter. Rolls right into the corner out of the way!! I will admit it does look bigger in the picture but sure is nice not to have to take stuff on and off anymore and my shop bench is free for when working on my guns and other projects now. LOL

Neat idea, and nicely done. Pity I don't have a spare corner to keep something like that :sad:.

How are the wiggly tippies when leaning on stout brass? Looks like a lot of leverage is available on the one lee press.

There are 3 - 30# weights on the bottom that came out of a old grain elevator scale. The main part of the stand was built by me to use as shooting table. The rest was pieces of iron laying around. The iron bought was the receiver parts on top, which is seamless and cost $20.00. I have had no problem using it to load up 45 auto yesterday as far as movement. I guess time will tell.
Thanks for looking,
Tom

I've thought about building something similar to mount 4 presses. Mine would be bolted to the floor though
