I plan to bolt it to a 2" x 12" x 24" white oak plank so it can be clamped to a table.
when you get it mounted, please post a picture

I'd love to hear your review once you get it set up. As Mistered said, Lee makes some good stuff. I'm primarily a Redding guy, but use Lee factory crimp die on every caliber as well as their bullet remover.

I have used a Lee hand press at the range before and was quite successful. I used RCBS dies and small RCBS powder scale. Except for a gust of wind once and while it was a good combination.

I'd be seen guys build a box to keep their range set, designed to be the set up to shelter from the wind.

I haven't seen it put into practice and I'm really glad to hear this .... its an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for several years .... I've considered a heavy duty box that I can mount the press and power measure on but more recently I've been moving away from that idea .... in and of itself such a box would be heavy .... more recently I've visualized a standard plastic box for the storage of a board and the reloading gear .... I'd clamp the board onto our site picnic table or onto a fitting inserted into our truck or camper's 2" receiver

Jim maybe you have looked at one. One of those portable stands might be something to look at

This is not a half bad idea.
Fab a short riser out of 2" receiver tube and weld a 1/4" plate on top just big enough to bolt the press to and a done deal.
If you can keep the riser relatively short you can keep the press mounted to it and find a place to store the complete assembly.
It might be a bit wobbly due to the gap in the tube and the receiver but you could probably find a thin piece of sheet metal to slide in the gap to reduce the wobble.

interesting stand .... haven't seen it before .... being plastic and light weight, I can't help but wonder how sturdy it will be

There are some others available Jim. Matter of fact I think RR uses one because of limited room. Not sure which one he has.

I'd stick with the receiver tube idea.
It's solid, you (or someone else) can't knock it over and would take up less room.
