Looking for plans and ideas for a self contained sharpening station. WIll include a Tormek-type sharpener and maybe another grinder. Also should include a study stand for sharpening stones (oil or water ... haven't decided yet). Would like to make this Station myself.

How ape shit do you wanna go? You've specified a Tormek (and I assume some or most of its accessories/jigs), a grinder and japanese water stones. You didn't mention Scary Sharp (tm) plates or a 1" belt sander but you may get to one or both at some point in the future.
You might not want to go this ape shit but here's the basic idea (in 3 views with dimensions)

Full extension pull out shelves are kind of nice - much easier to lift something up than left up a little, pull it out a bit then lift it up to the table top

And I doubt you'll go for bear claw spruce door panels and drawer fronts but

I'm real sure you won't do the ten + layers of french polished shellac.
Thanks, but doesn't reallydeal with the sharpening stone issue very elligantly. Maybe I will need 2 stands ... 1 for grinding and 1 for hand sharpening?? Know of any out of Fine Woodworking or Wood or other practical/"shop made" oriented sources?
just took a closer look at you site ... wholy guacamole!!! Could you add just a little more detail ? :) Thanx for the fabulous ideas (at a twisted mind ... " I'm a man of wealth and fame. No - that's the Rolling Stone's introduction").
