I still use one of these for reloading. It was a great apartment bench. Folds up flat and you can stick it in the closet when guests come over.
How do I rip a 2 x 4 with just a saw.
I have a squat rack that I can clamp it to but nothing else.
Would this work?
I have been using a Black and Decker Workmate for about 6 months now. Cheap and mobile. I added a 3/4" piece of plywood to the top to make it more rigid. Probably under $50 and I have 2 presses loaded to it.

I used couple threaded fasteners and 271 loctite and it’s been holding up great!
Hey man I actually put it together using these two parts:

I did all the woodworking and finishing outside. I got a Black & Decker Workmate, which I would not recommend. It is pretty unstable when it comes to using power tools. There are a few tutorials and plans around for small 2x4 workbenches, and even some that are collapsible. I might build one of those before my next guitar project. The other downside to the Workmate is that it is pretty low, so I had to bend over a lot. I'm not a giant, either.
For tools, I got a basic Black and Decker router, drill, sander, and jigsaw. If you get the jigsaw, I recommend upgrading the blade for just a few bucks. I bought only the router bits I absolutely needed. I didn't do this until late in the project, but I built a router table with some plywood scrap. It made routing a million times easier with the crummy workbench. All of those tools and the workbench are easily stashed in a closet. For spraying, I used products from the Reranch, which required no air compressor or anything. Zero storage space needed.
Finally, I did the outside work in our back parking area. I did the spraying in our screened porch to avoid wind. I swept up some of the sawdust, and some of it just ended up in the grass. I did power tool work on weekends or early evenings on weekdays. None of the neighbors ever complained.
Tactical TV tray seems to be a good option.
