I could not find a suitable tying station to buy,the were either to small,to big,or looked more like thread/tool stores.Most had vice just lying on top in pedestal.
I was looking for a compact station that housed all my tools some bobbins and wire and also did away with base for the vice,but needed to fit on a shelf in my ofiice up out the road of my work area.
it was only a matter of time till I client called to say they had a hook/fly in the investment/pension file,lol
After looking at many pages of stations talking to a few on the forum,i came up with this

I joined two sections of mdf to give me nice white work surface and depth to mount vice,and allow fixing to come in from the side.Also added lip to stop hooks,beads etc rolling off.

I also added a bobbin holder(made by mr trout):thumbs:this really saves space and time re threading bobbins.
[/url]
I did not like the snowbee sight board,so quick look on ebay and a a4 doc holder did the trick,solid as a rock and easy to move out the road if required
[/url]
my desk is in some mess with glue etc,so I had some wood left and a finish station was born

Next to tackle the shelves and a thread holder
