I took an old piece of 2 x 8 white oak.

Attacked it with a belt sander. So it looks like this.

Drilled a couple of holes and mounted the press with a couple of 3/8" lag screws. I need two washers. Then I clamped it to the workmate. Now it all looks like this.

I can remove it from the table. The table folds up. It can all be moved easily.

Likin' that. Simple, but, very useful. Nice going.

Nice set up, but I really like the RCBS Press !

Used one of these for years before I bought my Dillon.

I like the use of a Workmate .... please report back as to how it holds up to the stress of resizing cases

I will report on the effectiveness of this setup. It will be a while as I don't have all the essential pieces yet. I have been getting what I can when I have a few extra $'s. Having to stay within a budget can be a drag.

understood .... all too well understood .... I believe you will be well served by coming up with a way to mount your powder measure to your board .... while you have time, it would be well worth the time and effort to determine how/where to mount it so that it will lend itself to working smoothly with your press

I thought about getting a piece of 2x4 and clamp the measure to it then it can be clamped to the work bench. I also looked at a stand that can be clamped to the table. I also need a shelving unit for organizing everything else.

My first press was the RCBS Junior, used it 'til a few yrs. ago, and bought a Forster Co-Ax single stage press. Love that thing, so much easier & conveinent to use. Still have the old RCBS tho, for back up & guess, LOL. Many a pull on that old guy, got the job done.

It works quite well. Looks like this:

what size Work Mate do you have .... how does it seem to be standing up to the torque of resizing brass

The biggest drawback to this setup is the table and shelving unit are on the right. The workflow would be smoother if it were on the other side.
