Pope lube pump mounting

I must be getting stupid in my older years but I am stumped.  I have a copy of a  Pope lube pump and just made an insert for it for my .40 bullet and works fine.  My problem is trying to figure how to clamp it on the shooting bench.  Nothing  makes sense on how to clamp it using the built in clamp.  Tried to find an on line picture of it in use but no avail.  Anyone have a picture on how to mount it?
Thanks Charlie

The one that I saw, was just a small wooden teethat you clamp to your table, and then clamped the pump to the upper part of the upside down tee

Ballards may be weaker,

Only way I've been able to have both ends of the Pope pump accessible was to have a piece of 3/4" wood clamped in my bench vise and the pump clamped to that so I could access the T handle to compress the lube, and also be able to access the bullet dies to insert bullets. No other way to clamp it to a table and not block either the T handle or the bullet die.
Really not well thought out for a genius and MIT graduate.

It is kinda awkward, but you can clamp it to the corner of a bench or shelf.  I plan to use mine hand held as I do with those made by Charlie Dell… he left the clamp off of his adaptation altogether.
