I built my smallest portable rolling reloading bench with Harbor Freight tool stand (I bought the stand on sale for $12). Top measures 12"x20" and bottom measures 18"x20".
For top, I used "dry" 2x4s sandwiched between OSB sheets fastened with drywall screws. There is no flex on the top even when I resize the tight 9mm range brass on the C&H 205 single stage press. Bottom is 2x4 frame built with HF small furniture dolly cut in half with OSB as top - The bench rolls well in heavy carpet even though I got a bucket of brass and several boxes of bullets on the bottom shelf. The top and bottom frame are wrapped with denim-like fabric from Walmart ($1.50 a yard) and stapled.
The presses are mounted on top of a plastic tray from the dollar store (used for catching mud from boots) for catching debri and keeping things from rolling off the bench top.
The black tube is the primer collection tube inserted inside the base so each primer falls through the tube without collecting inside the base.
This small bench allows reloading anywhere in the house and rolls into the closet when I am done. I am planning to add fold-up tables to the side of the bench.
