I get so many ideas to keep my desk clear and somewhat organized, I have 13 or so Pliers and I have seen some racks but nothing to fit my desk or wallet. I came up with this OK First I cut Two Triangles OUT OF plexiglass, 5 inches per side, should have gone 6 inches but.... then I figured out how much space the pliers would need by stacking and measuring them. I bought 3, 6 inch 5/16 bolts 6 nuts and a package of washers, and assembled as above. Now 13 Pliers takes up a 6 x 6 space, and are always handy.. Next, Pin Vises, Tweezers, Markers, Drills, Small Rulers and ETC. While in the hospital I noticed every injection came in a sealed tube I asked the head nurse to save me some, next day she brought me a bag with about 50 .. I found they fit Tweezers, Pin Vices, Xactos ( minus blade) Files, Flexifile Sanding Bands and so much more. Great now I got 50 tubes rolling around my desk, but my Buddy and I built a Ammo Re-Loading room addition on his house and he had these square 9mm plastic ammo boxes that held 50 rounds.. Guess what, after I reamed them a bit, using the bottom divided part only, with a 1/2 inch drill, perfect tight fit. now they are handy and easy to find, look pretty cool too. I use small Pencil boxes for my Paint Brushes and Sanding Stix and a few other space saving containers, organizers and that's my story I'm sticking to it. Thank's for looking and I hope it helps You Too.. Chris

So, the short answer to this thread's title is an emphatic NO!

My IKEA bureau in the corner of our kitchen. I'm reluctant to use one of the extra bedrooms and decided on this for neatness and to be close to a sink for washing parts, hands making tea. youtu.be/C0uzsPveTUU

Cheers Jacy, it's kinda crammed in there and will evolve over time i hope. All I need is close to hand. Under that fold down top is an integral cabinet where I store the WIPs, styrene and K&S tubing hang from hooks on each door. Scuplting tools & Smooth on RTV and resin with a few molds in the bottom left corner of the cabinet. Not my video but it gives an idea of how neat it is closed up. youtu.be/goZCmiJZ0o0

Nice desk. I can get organized but then I end up with a few projects going at once and all of sudden my work space is a mess again! Staying organized is the struggle for me.

Not showed it with WIPs on it..on top of it... To the side. You don't wanna see that. But the small space make you have to keep it clear every day or so.
