MRVP Desktop Organizer
Posted by BigDaddy on Sunday, December 2, 2018 6:41 PM

My search skills are failing me in MRVP.  Does anyone remember a video in the last 3 months where either Cody or David showed a orgaziner that fit on the top of their workbench?

I don’t know if what you’re looking for is a tool organizer but I made one to hold my screw and nutdrivers with an area for pliers and miscellaneous stuff.  I actually intended to fit on my computer workstation above the keyboard but have since moved it to my workbench.

Not sure either what you mean buy workbench organizer, but I made one for pencils/pens using a small piece from a 2x4 that I drilled into a masonite bench along the layout benchwork.  I then drilled from the top into the wood holes to put in pencils and pens.  This way, you don't lose these items.

Workbench organization is a myth. I have been chasing that dragon for 30 or more years.

Workbench organization is a myth.

Maybe, but looking for tools and parts seems to take as long as the task itself.

I found it in the Log Blog #20.  I need some ideas for my own Christmas presents, but something like this is easy to build.  The one Popp bought is this one

I have a fix for parts, 39 & 60 drawer parts cabinets by Stack-On.
 
 
 
I ended up with four of the 39 drawer and three of the 60 drawer cabinets, the 39 drawer on a shelf above my workbench and the 60 drawer on a wall shelf.  I have all but about a dozen drawers filled out of the 336.  I have almost all of the drawers labeled.
 
I still have problems finding stuff but the drawers really helped.  At least I can find my resistors, capacitors, LEDs and bulbs easily.
 
The 39 drawer has 9 larger drawers that work out great for the larger stuff like trucks and motors.
 
Keeping them labeled becomes another task.
