I knew some one who had that full station. Everything was mint, this was
about 10 years ago now. Very nice. If I had the room, I'd have a complete
station like that. Maybe not that one, but something similar. He had like a
9 foot wide by 6 deep and he had that station spread out over shelves and
shelves in there. It really was very impressive to look at and use. I think
he had literally every single piece.
