Hi John , also retired and love it too !!!  When I set up my work station it was for gluing  boards with biscuits !!!   Also found that It work,s well for holding the boards  when using the Kreg  screws !!!  You will need a table at least 4 ' x 4 '  , I screwed four 4 foot t tracks spaced out even  to the table !  I made the four clamp boards out of 3/4 " x 1 1/2 "  x 18 " and 30 "  long , but you can use what ever size boards you want , the oak boards work well for me !!!   I bought my t tracks from Rockler , you can buy the 17 pcs. kit or buy just  the tracks , the kit # is 24063 and the 4 ft. tracks are 20054, they are not cheap , but will last a long time !!  You will also need a few bar clamps , can get them from Harbor Freight  , not to bad in price !!!  Also sending you some pics. and hope this helps you with your shop set up !! If you have any ?,s feel free to contact me  !  Have a great day , have fun building and be safe , JIM !!!
