Magnetic strips
I draw on a drafting table, which is a nice large area for drawing. Too large, really. I usually only use a couple feet in the middle.
I have trouble organizing things while still keeping the necessary tools close at hand. But I had an idea.
I bought a roll of magnet tape and put a strip along the side. The magnet tape is not terribly strong, but holds all my pens well enough by the metal clips on their caps.
I put another strip near the top of my desk, for miscellaneous tools. The strip is thick enough that nonferrous items can simply be placed along the top edge to keep them from rolling off the table.
After I took these pics I moved the pen strip to the right side of the desk to be closer to my dominant hand.
Do you guys have any useful tips/mods?
