My neighbor and I were shooting the breeze a while back. Seems an old machinist he worked with said the ideal workbench height could be found by making a fist and tucking it under your chin. Holding your forearm vertical, the bench height should be level with your bent elbow. Went out to my shed and checked my bench while sitting on the stool. Dang, I'm probably within 1/4" using this formula. I find it quite comfortable for extended reloading sessions.
