Ochre 19110 work station,

In addition to the foam "vice", I have found the following vices, particularly the pana vice, extremely useful:

Before cai start my next kit started looking for a better work station. This Occre table looks good but only 17.5”tall. Asking if only one used this and added some height and wheels before I order

For me this one works perfectly as a "model shipyard":

I found this on amazon. It’s a work table the can be raised and lowered electrically. I’m sure a sheet of plywood can be attached to the top to increase the size of the top if a larger work surface is required

This height-adjustable desk from Agilestic offers a smooth, quiet electric lift and sturdy, durable construction to support your work in comfort. It's a popular product!

To each his own but that looks to me like a waste of money. First of all, if the top area that the locomotive sits on is intended as the work surface and the vertical dimension is 17-1/2 “ that’s not nearly enough space. Second, it doesn’t look like it’s rigid enough. Third, the most often used tool in my workshop is one of my four different vises. There is obviously nowhere on this to mount one nor does the unit appear strong or rigid enough to withstand forces from sawing, filing, etc. I consider my work surface to be “semi disposable.” Over time it gets scuffed and beat up and I don’t hesitate to temporarily nail or even screw fixtures to it as necessary. It’s easy to refinish.

If all you plan to do is assemble kits from supplied parts the work station might work but I suggest putting $$ towards a proper workbench. Big box home improvement stores sell folding metal legs for tables. A pair of these, and a 1/2 sheet of plywood stiffened underneath by a pair of 2”x 2” wood strips would result in a far more useful work surface.

Looks like it's just a tool storage unit! Not fit for ship building.

I made a copy of this one, plus I have several others for different size ships, as I find it can be too big at times.
