Don't worry ... you'll get it comfortably cluttered and cramped soon enough :)

Looks sturdy enough (metal frame), Uwe. As a bonus you can sit in a comfy chair and operate the press. :D

Sorry for being nosy, but what is that brown object in the center of the bench top?

Gadgets . You'll need at least a dozen , 1/2 will be the same as the the other half but from different sources because they looked really good . If you used the Lee chamfer/debur tool , you'll really like the Lyman tool a lot better ....... Unless you're ready for the power prep station .....

No end to the must have dodads several of us have had most of them at some point .
