Make a soldering/workholding station

Make a soldering/workholding station
This is my instructable on how to make a fairly versatile workholding station, which started with soldering in mind. I tried to use common and easy to scrounge materials as much as possible. This is my first instructable, so be gentle :)

Materials
Materials:
As you can see, I used a piece of OSB as my foundation, although I was looking for particle board, which I believe would work better. The piece I used is 24" x 12", but the key is to use a piece that is ideally 1" thick. I suppose 3/4" would work also, but getting thinner than that will cause the holders to move around too much.
Other materials are:
Assorted alligator clips and clamps
Bronze brazing rod, 5/32"
Aluminum foil
Spray Adhesive (3M super77)
Solder
Flux (Solder Brite flux with solder in it works very well)
Tie-Wire (not pictured)
Sandpaper (not pictured)
