This is more of a tip than a real project, but here it goes anyway.
I was waiting for a glueup to dry so I decided to solve a problem I was having. I was using my Dremel tool’s flex shaft and I needed it to hang from something. Something that I could move around to keep it out of my way when I wasn’t using it. Then I remembered Blake’s light that he stuck into one of his round dog holes on his work bench.
Well I decided to use the rectangular dog holes on mine, and came up with what you see in the pictures. I can adjust the height depending the height of the piece I’m working on and more it around my workbench to where I need it.
I’m already thinking of other things to use it for. Add a couple of holes for pencils and hanging some things that I use for every project that I really don’t want laying on my bench. (mainly because they get buried under junk). Things like that.
It’s nice because I can either use it or not, but I usually have one corner of my bench I’m not using.

Yes a great idea Gary. Using the holes to hold some items that you would use and need.
I’ve got a Foredom motor that I need to hang, and this is a great idea for that.

Necessity is the mother of new creations. You have thought of a very good idea for multiple uses. You have always been innovative and make us think.
