    Recommendation: The Other Pegboard - for those infrequently used items that don't warrant prime real estate but you still need to have around. Credit to robogary for adding pegboard to the list of workbench…

    I made a nice holder for small screwdrivers and bits, and I can easily move them from desk to desk.

    Recommendation:  Simple custom tool holders.  While my holders aren't as cool as rsc's , this "challenge(?)" has motivated me to clean up the tools that just lay around on the workbench.  The heat gun holders have been around for a while, but the other stuff is new.  The tweezers just laid on the bench for about a year.  Now they have a home.

    Very nice.  Are these holders made from PVC pipes?

     dang74 Yes.  The heat guns are 4" PVC.  The hot glue gun is in 3" PVC.  The miscellaneous holders are a mix of 2" and 4".
