Here are two other homemade things I made for my Dillon.
This is the stand I made to elevate it and set it back from the edge of the bench. I could have bought the strong mount, but I had the scraps of steel lying around anyway. Plus, I wanted to be able to get it out of my way when I wasn't using it. So, I made this stand and then installed T-nuts in my bench top so that I could bolt it down easily without having anything in the way when it's gone. I welded some steel rod to some all thread and nuts to make tool-less T-bolts. I painted them red because I know I'd lose them otherwise.
The base is big so it's stable, even when I set the press and feeder aside. I didn't want to be able to knock it over with an accidental bump.
The other accessory required me to borrow one of my wife's power tools (sewing machine). I sacrificed an old bed sheet to make a dust cover for my press:
