Geoff,

I looked at the other bench photos and while storage is nice, I personally don't like cabinets under the bench because I like the leg room for a stool - maybe just because I am older and lazier.

Just make sure it works for you. With the proper height - experiment before you build - you can load standing or sitting although some operations I only do standing. Also, 36 inches is the standard kitchen cabinet height and has been forever, but it is not the correct height for me to load. Don't buy base cabinets at Lowes or Home Depot just because they are 36 inches tall with the top. Don't be concerned about drilling the top for bolts - it's just a loading bench and not your dining table. Clamp the presses for a while to get the feel of things then bolt them in place.

Just my opinion. Good luck and good shootin'.
