                        After years of knocking bottles of stuff over on my work space, I finally decided to do something about it.  I remembered an article about somebody doing this before.  So, I cut a piece of plexiglass to the size I needed, cut some pvc pipe of various sizes ( 1in., 2 in., and 3 in.) at different lengths and super glued them onto the plexiglass.  No more spills!!! Yea!

                        I use the packing foam that comes in electronics boxes...  I can cut the holes to any-sized or shaped bottles I need, as well as being able stick my knife, pins, spare blade or two, brush(es) I'm currently using, glue tubes, glue bottles, whatever... Also comes in handy as a drying rack for figures or small parts.. I can add and take away as much as I need...

                        I used scrap 1/2 & 3/4 inch PVC to make tool holders. I used hot glue to hold it together.
