Let's share some pics, here's mine
Sharpening Station.jpg
Given my shop time of a couple hours per week I don't sharpen often, maybe 4 times a year. And with no space for a permanent setup I do this.
On the bench I put a big shelf salvaged from a kitchen remodel. Then a towel then a board clamped over that.
Coarse Diaplate, King 800 and 1200 then a 4000 grit finishing stone.
I soak the kings 10 minutes and dry them gently over a couple of days afterward.
