Space saving idea for ya.

I don't want my reloading area to get to cluttered. I bought a case trimmer and needed to mounted it on a table. I also like to watch t.v. while I do certain steps in the reloading process. Before any of you lecture me I don't watch t.v. during the powder step. I came up with this idea that made my trimmer portable, easily stored away, and off of my primary desk. For those of you with the Lee case trimmer or others that don't have to be mounted, this won't be of any use to you. To those who have the Lyman or one like it, you can use this idea if you find it to your liking. Just trying to help. I took a fold up t.v. tray mounted a cookie sheet and the trimmer on top of that. The cookie sheet catches the shaving nicely to keep them off of the floor. When your done fold it up and place it in a closet or up against the wall out of the way. Total costs- 3 bolts with anchors $1.05 at Sears hardware-t.v. tray $8.99 at Walmart-Cookie sheet $4.00 at Walmart=$14.88 Pontiacdm

Cool idea. My temporary loading bench is a B&D Workmate. Same idea; folds up for storage. My permenant loading area/bench is coming as soon as I move to Oregon.
