Hobby Station
Customized organization and storage make this portable hobby station a great addition for any enthusiast.
Many of us have hobbies beyond woodworking. Whether it’s fly-tying, model making, or jewelry making, they all require a place to work. Providing that work area is where this hobby station wins the day. The main feature that attracted me to this project is that it’s portable. After you’re done working with it, you can simply close up the drawers and trays and store it away. That doesn’t mean it isn’t stable, however. The wide footprint and large worksurface make this a rocksteady platform to work on. As someone who enjoys fly fishing and tying flies, I can appreciate that the storage on this station is geared to hold all those little parts and materials that you need close at hand while you’re working. But that doesn’t mean it’s only for fly tying. Any modler, jewelry maker, or crafter will enjoy this as well. The four swingout trays have different sized recesses to hold a variety of items. The organizer along the back can be customized to hold thread or other supplies and tools.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
