    My latest mod's

    The drilled and tapped plate mounted in my bench top for the various tools and my version of a strong mount for my RCBS JR press along with the "ball" for a handle grip. Had to add a thicker plate to the mount as it was a little flexible before adding the 1/4" plate on.

    Hopefully they'll show here. I thought there used to be a little different thing to click on in Photobucket wherein when the message was displayed it automatically showed the pictures. Anybody know which one I should have use?

    My initial screwup on it was mounting it too far back on my bench plate. It didn't take into account the fact that the toggle linkage would end up benchtop high and catch the bench so I cheated and added a plate on top of the original that stuck out enough to take care of that problem. Both those tops were too thin and flexed so just added the 1/4" one again. So there's actually 3 pieces of metal welded on there. It is good and stiff now though. Have to pick up a can of paint yet.

    That is nice.
    I've got a plate here to make a similar mounting arrangement, but only for presses.
