Trust me, I started reloading in 82. It never stops. You gain information, ballistics info and powder burn rates. Then you want to try different loads to see what is more accurate, and the list goes on.
Welcome to the addiction
there is a 12 step program, but its different from the one your used to hearing about. It moves forward.
It moves forward.
Yep!!!
If you will use some small L brakets and screw your table to the wall studs you can get away with a lighter bench.
I welded 1 1/4" angle iron 60" long, 24" deep and i forget how tall. I painted the angle iron frame with gray primer. I used heavy plywood for a top. It has a plywood shelf underneath and two shelves mounted to the wall above it.
I am in the process of making some quick change plates to be able to mount different equipment onto one spot. For a long time I have had my Dillon 550 mounted to the left side and my RCBS rock chucker to the right side.
I have some shotshell presses that I am going to start using again, a Hornady 366 for 12 and 20 gauge and a MEC 600jr for some .410. I also have a vice, a bench grinder, and a case trimmer that needs a spot. I am making some quick change plates that I will use where the RCBS is now.

I don't mind weight because I don't plan on packing in my back pack and carrying it into the woods haha.
Built mine out of a 2&1/2 inch thick bridge timber.
For the absolute smallest bench available, to my knowledge, give this a look:
