Advice Request: Reloading Press Stand

[zipty6]

I recently acquired a Alemite workbench/cabinet unit that has been in my wife's family for generations. It's a really cool old piece, but it has displaced many existing items in the garage, including my reloading bench. I'm considering a small reloading press stand like the one offered by Lee or perhaps a vice stand. Please share any experience that you may have with such items. Input is greatly appreciated.

Look at this thread.

reloading in an apartment/ portable reloading bench

What have you all used for reloading that is portable? i have an rcbs turret press at my parents house, but would like to bring it with me to be able to work on ammo during the week. I know you all are some creative guys and probably have some pretty sweet set ups. appreciate any advice

Not to be nosy, but I just have to ask. Is your new cabinet anything like this one?? If so, that thing is sooooooooo freaking cool. I'd love to see pics of it.

Yes, it's that model, but not nearly as flashy. It event came with a decent vice.

Build a platform to hang on the vise and then hang on the wall when not in use.

^^^^ That is a perfect idea.

Excellent thinking! I already use the Inline Fabrication press mounting plates, so it shouldn't take much.

Edit to add:
This may do the trick!

I had never heard of such a thing until your post. Your post sent me down a deep rabbit hole. Those things are so cool. I'd love to have one. I have no place for one, but I'd figure out something.
