I recently bought a Redding Big Boss II to supplement my older single stage press. I didn't really have any room for it on my bench so I decided to build a second reloading space directly behind my old bench. Because the Redding is such a beefy chunk of iron I wanted to create a really sturdy platform for it.
I'm calling this a stand because it isn't easily movable like a real bench. The "legs" go all the way to the joists above and are connected with hurricane ties and deck screws. They are attached to the concrete floor with L brackets and Tapcon screws. The surface is made of sandwiched 2X4s compressed with 1/2" allthread through the uprights. It also has about 100 pounds of cast bullets stacked on top now.
It's pretty sturdy.
