Post your honing station!
I thought it might be cool to post our various honing setups, kind of like how there are shave den and workshop pic threads.
My own setup has moved frequently as I experiment with what I like, but here's the current iteration.
My desk is an Ikea Jerker; I love it and I think it's sad they don't make them anymore. It also houses my computer monitors, and above those on a shelf built into the desk are my sound system and speakers. Normally my mouse and keyboard would be farther forward, but honing pushes them back. This is where the massive surface area comes into play. Hones that I'm not using sit on an end table to my right for easy access. The lamp goes bye bye when I'm not honing.
As always, my desk is a mess...

I would be willing to bet save the guys who do honing as a part time business most have no permanent setup. I just set up on the dinette table whenever I need to hone. Afterwards everything gets put away.

If I posted mine I'd have to clean the kitchen sink.
Gimme a couple of days. 
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
