I prefer to stand. Just feels less stiff than trying to reach for what I need as well as routine powder checks and finished round checks with my case gauge.

I like using a stool when I am working at a table or bench.  It is easier to stand up and usually the table/bench will be the right height to put my weight into something by standing over it, if I need to do so.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

A couple of Home Depot type cabinets and counter top. Fastened together and to the wall studs. Presses with 3/16ths plates top and bottom. Just another way to go. It's nice to have options.

Be sure to vote!!

Mackdaddy that's exactly what I had pictured in my head. Only with plywood on the top.

Here is mine all free cabinets off craigslist.

When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

I built this for my new Christmas rock chucker. 6' x 2' bench. Bench top and shelves are from 1 sheet of 3/4" poplar plywood. Second pic is what I found on google, then just customized to my needs.

A little late to the party, this one is framed out of 2x4s, solid core door on top (narrowed) and P-lam over the top of that.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
