    Biggest thing for woodworking for me was just buying more pencils. I bought a pack of 30 or so and put all of them in a cup attached to the wall. Now I just grab a new one if I forget where I put it down.

      Did you forget your ear? I thought all woodworkers kept their pencil on their ear.

      I recently bought an electrician’s pouch that velcros around my belt. Great for holding screws, square and pencils. Think of it as a wall cup on your belt.

        Not the clumsy ones. Not after a little while.
