Homemade AR Stand
Here's pics of the AR Stand I built. Easy to fabricate with scraps, and is as sturdy and functional as they come.

Exactly right Bullseye, you have a good eye, covered by paint and all.
bigfatdave, thanks! The bottom pegs are a mistake and I was going to cut them off but then I thought "why, I can always hang a spring or other part off of them". So they remained, and they may never be used but they'll be a reminder that I can't get anything right from the get go!

Forumites, the larger of my homemade AR stands has taken on added functionality and I am sharing this with you just in case someone else would like to fab their own multifunctional reloading AR stand. I needed a second set of reloading equipment at my property, where I do my shooting, and thought what better way than to place the press and peripherals onto my AR stand since the space is there, kill two birds with one stone so to speak. I chose the Challenger Lee press because it's aluminum and thus lighter.
Screw holes drilled and threaded inserts installed. Notched existing platform for proper acceptance of press.
Oak spacer for the press was cut out.
Mounted HW and loaded the tray up with needed tools.
Proud of the way it turned out. The Lee company amazes me with their low cost high quality products, they're into everything to do with reloading!
I can now reload wherever I am by using 2 deepthroat C-clamps to hold the stand down onto any bench or table.
