When I built mine, I did a google search using the image section.
Came up with several good ideas and saw some pretty nice ones! The
one I did is still the "prototype" out of pine. It is a box with
hinged lid and front that swings down for the work serface (like a
secretary's desk). Has several doors and holders in the "inside"
section. Have the plan on AutoCAD that I could send if you want, but
it is not that well detailed. Kinda flew on this one as it was to be
more functional that pretty. Will do the final one differently as
this one is a little bulky.

I just received a Cabelas catolog in the mail yesterday with pictures of
a few different fly-tying benches/stands. Doesn't look to difficult to
go from there.

There are a number of jeweler's benches on ebay that may give you some
ideas.

I'm not sure where you'd find plans per se, but there's not a lot to
it. Decide what size you want, how much storage you need, how you want
to hold spools and other stuff you keep on top of the desk and get a
sheet of graph paper and start drawing.
When I built my portable tying station I also googled around
searching "fly station", "flytying desk", etc. and found some pics to
help me get ideas. Finally, there's a group called
rec.outdoors.fishing.fly.tying that has some folks who might have ideas.
Here's what I came up with:
http://www.swt.edu/~cv01/flystation01.jpg and
http://www.swt.edu/~cv01/flystation04.jpg I made it out of wicked curly
cherry and quilted maple, with q-sawn sycamore for the arms and "box" to
support the thread spools. Brass rod for spool storage. Poplar for the
drawer and Spanish cedar for the drawer bottom. The finish was BLO
followed by superblonde Paddylac, rubbed out with wet-dry sandpaper and
finished it off with wax on 0000 steel wool.
Of course it's not nearly so clean and purty now that I've been
using it to tie for a while. It's super-handy, because it sits on my
workbench when I'm using it, but I can just lift it off and put it away
when I need space on the bench for ww'ing.
