Do you have limited bench space? Do you find your tools and supplies constantly invading your work area? Stop the madness and try some strap-ons!
Use cable ties to strap-on containers, such as jars or medicine bottles, to lamps with extension arms and posts throughout the shop, filling them with pens, pencils, rulers, Q-tips, etc. This offers quick access to the items you use most often.
