    That's camouflage.
    Seriously... I didn't even see the Centurion until you said that.


    Javi... Check out Big Lots on Central/Walnut. They've got a Chinese knockoff workmate... don't remember the price. Wife commented about buying it and I just said that I didn't have a place to put it.

    On the cabinets/counters... those are quick and easy. Two base cabinets and an 8ft counter will get you a very nice bench.
    On a lower budget... the bench that I built for working on model airplanes and computers is a pair of 30" high (2-shelf) bookcases and a door laid across them.

      2x2 may be a bit small, i made mines out to 30in wide by 19in deep and at times it still cluters.

          Hahah! Yeah it's nice only in that it hides my safe well from pedestrians walking past my garage. I'll check out that knockoff, it's not too far from me. Hope it would be one that would withstand multiple presses. I would go with that cabinet route if there was any space. One day!

                Haha nice. Is it really stable with just that? Adding a ply with maybe another piece underneath where the press would be setup is all I'm doing. I'd really like the press to not move at all if possible. I'm too lazy to make it look nice like the one I have in my original post(Still might do something similar since mounting the powder dispenser like that looks nice.)

                  pretty radical thread Javi! gonna have to steal these ideas
                  you don't rise to the occasion,
                  you just fall back on your level of training.

                          Yeah, I just started reloading so it's difficult to tell if this is going to hold up when I go all out. I might get a bigger piece later on
