Right so bought a second hand creation station, v exciting! But how do I set it up? I'm très confused! Pictures would be helpful!

you can use a G clamp to hold it on, but it's best drilled directly onto your work surface!

That's fab Julie!

Trudi I think I will need to g-clamp it on as it's my mums table and when I mentioned to her before about putting holes through it she was less than impressed so I'm thinking it'll be a no on that front. Will it work with a g-clamp or shouldn't I have bothered with getting one? But worried now! Can't set it up til the exams are over but it's good motivation to keep working!

I use mine with a G-clamp, which has plastic covers on the sections in contact with the table. This works perfectly well, and means that my torch and creation station are more portable.

Yep - it will work fine with a g clamp - I used one with mine till I had it drilled in.

But as Chalotte says, you might want to use something to protect your mum's table!!
