nice benches. a few sugestions if you don,t mind, as i've had 3 diff ones over the years: make them as beefy and solid as possible, atatch the back of the bench to the wall studs,use as solid a top material as you can find 2" thick solid wood or ply works best ( those presses generate alot of torque ), mount the press to the table top on some type of metal plate, and make it tall enough that you don't have to stoop over and have good lighting, also have the area as comfy as possible heat and a/c will mean you'll spend more time out there. well those are my 2 cents worth,happy re-loading, or cleaning

Couldn't agree more with the above suggestions.
The top of my table it 3/4" plywood with runner every 8 inches for maximum support.
She also gave it a wide stance for good leverage. Not to mention it is in our 2nd guest bedroom that I turned into my man cave. Under central heat/AC and all.....closet contains hunting/fishing items as well. Even features a 2nd gun safe in there that is my "Working" safe. Guns that I am currently working on, just so I dont have to tote them downstairs to my big safe after I'm done tinkering for the day. I also would suggest a comfortable table height. She designed mine so that I can sit at it. I have an old computer chair that I just wheel in. My legs even fit under the table so that I can use it as a desk.
Crock....I can't wait to add a bow press to mine.....Very im"press"ive.....Not to mention a good reloading machine. Very nice.
Good bench ideas!
add a small refrig and a flat screen and I'll move in
