Got most of my reloading gear. I have been learning the equipment using a sturdy living room table. I have a workshop in the barn, but as hot/humid as it is in Alabama I choose to reload in our house. One, because it is more comfortable than the shop. Two, because I don't want to introduce humid air to the primers/powder as I load.

Been real careful not to scratch our LR table, but I will eventually need something else as a reloading base. There is basically nowhere else in our house where I could set up a dedicated reloading station.

Got to thinking that I could make some sort of trunk or modify one. Something, that when in in storage mode, could store all the junk inside. Then, in use mode, could be opened and serve as a base to set the press on. That would be perfect. It would sit like a trunk in the closet.....then drag out to the LR to set up for making bullets. Anybody here made or seen such a thing?
