What's to show? But here's a shot of my reloading area that shows the 550b pretty well. Note that I'm using a bread baking pan as a tub for holding casings that I place by hand. Missing on the left side is a low sided tray that holds the bullets that I put into position on the casings with my left hand. The orange tub is slid onto the holder bracket to catch the loaded rounds as they tumble clear. The working height for the counter top is 35" off the floor. The press is mounted on a sub plate of 3/4" plywood that is then bolted to the counter using my regular spaced holes with T nuts under the counter top.
If you set it up on a bench which is at the same height or close to the height of a kitchen counter and plan on working from a chair for loading don't use the riser brackets. Mount it directly to the surface or it'll be too high for seated use. The only time you want to use the riser brackets is if you are mounting to an office desk height bench.
