David, I like pedestal as I said on your other thread. I find it easy to manouver the fly around; I can push it further away from my body which helps my back; I can take it away with me without wondering if my vice will fit on 'their' table; I don't damage my own dining table by screwing to it; I just pick up the whole thing to move if I have to, like to move it or show the fly to somebody; and I have never had a problem with stability. Welcome to tying by the way, hope you enjoy yourself.
