Bear with me, my degree is in counseling/psychology...
I got 2 pieces of nice wood-like countertop from Home Depot, and mounted them together to make one really thick piece, and then used one screw\bolt, and two wood screws with the little plastic thing that expands when the screw is screwed into it, making it extremely secure.
The good thing is I never have to remove my press from the wood, which I C-clamped onto my desk. Its a little higher, plus portable.
