Portable reloading bench design and product

[lloydb]

Ideally something that could just hold the press (Lee Pro 1000 for now, thinking of single stage press next) and nothing else. Everything else I could do on the table that we have. Please let me know if I am being ridiculous or if something like this can be achieved?

Sure, stability would be your biggest issue, wobbly tables suck when you're applying pressure to a lever and fulcrum. Since you don't have a wide surface area to achieve that, you'd need weight or fix it to a wall. You want portable so weight is what you'd need.

Depending on how handy you are, you could weld a steel frame together, on casters, weighed down with second hand gym weights from Facebook market place. Add a laminate pine top (or use shutterply sheet cut to size and glued together - it's cheaper) with threaded inserts so you can mount and dismount presses as you need them. A table top of 500mm x 500mm or 500mm x 750mm should get you by, heck maybe even smaller...

like Lee's 3 legged stand for their presses. https://247hunter.co.za/accessories/2849-lee-reloading-stand.html

My setup is a steel (angle iron) frame with a 250mm x 350mm top and a 400mm x 400mm bottom with a steel plate where I put a ammo box with reloading supplies like bullets for weight for stability along with the broader base. Top is just pallet wood but with plates welded in the middle of both longs sides. Single stage on one side and turret press on the other. Height is 700mm so it fits in next to my desk under the desktop overhang. Rubber mat underneath so the floor wherever I put it doesn't get damaged.

Please could you post a photo for my unimaginative brain?
