I'm supposed to get my press and dies today. Still need to complete my reloading bench and do some shopping for powder, bullets and brass. I've done some calculations and this is going to save me a bunch of cash on ammo.

Ok, here's some pics of my set-up.
Here's the bench and shelf when I first installed it. The table is a 1" red oak plank with a white top I attached with liquid nails and paneling nails. The legs are pieces of 1 1/2" pipe I had.
Here it is with the lee turret press attached. I used a red oak board to mount my press on, and counter sunk the bolt heads on the bottom.
Here it is with the legs removed and folded up. You can see the metal plate I attached for the c-clamps. BTW don't buy quick release c-clamps, they're junk, I stripped one out by barely tightening it down.
The bench is sturdy, I'm 295lbs and it'll hold my weight. The lock hinges prevent it from folding up on the up-stroke of the press. I'm pretty darn proud of this bench, considering I had very little room to work with and built it from scrap I had laying around.
