Helpful Hint

Many firms have jumped in the fray to make workbench organizers for the hobbyist. I believe most of these manufacturers have been targeting their offering to the plastic or military modeler communities. They never seem to advertise in the model railroad press.

When I went looking for products to organize my workbench top, I had not yet encountered those manufacturers so I instead headed to The Container Store. here is what I found. This photo does not adequately depict all my purchases, but you get the picture. I also found those white and turquoise gizmos to help keep my tools upright and to avoid clattering when dropping the tool back into its holder. I have reviewed these gizmos in Narrow Gauge Downunder.

These clear acrylic organizers are not inexpensive but they have the benefit of being see-through. I think their manufacturers are targeting the female makeup user market. I think these organizers find their homes on the makeup station of bedrooms and bathrooms in many homes. Shoot, we have a few in our bathroom for our toothpaste and other bathroom essentials.

If you have not found the right organizers for your workbench, try these out. You might find them cheaper elsewhere if you look. Dollar stores also have similar organizers but they are probably going to be opaque and made of colored plastic.
