My brother reminds me the first thing I need is a solid work bench.

Or you get the Inline Manufacturing press riser, bolt it to q cookie sheet which you clamp to a decent table and you're in business. I do that now

FITASC I have to ask. Why would someone need a Riser to reinforce a bench top? I personally have a disability and do all my reloading from a sitting position. To raise the press would be uncomfortable an awkward. My press is bolted directly to a 1.125" thick bench top and it doesn't move a bit and is at a perfect height for my needs.

It moves the press back from the edge of the bench. I can see why the press might be more comfortable or easier to operate from a raised position, or to facilitate a different table height.
