sitting bored here at work and thought about my complete disaster area which is my model
desk ect instructions ect all over paint jars ect, Well a cheap tip is buy yourself a cook book
stand and use that for your instructions to sit on then you have them in front of you and goes
a little way to having a tidy work area #:-) ........yeah right just extra space to dump more stuff

They are nice - some also have a glass/plastic front that protects the instructions from spatter.
Another idea is - get one of those dictation holders for computers. They are an arm that mounts to 'whatever' and will hold a set of instructions.

Yup - another way to have more space for more 'stuff' #:-)

Reading the instructions, now theres a really radical idea!

Maybe I should give it a try. Might reduce my build times by a few months.

Regards Dave

It is just so much more fun to have the instructions laying over everything so they have to be moved in order to find the next part or the last part or anything else. And let us not forget how much fun it is when both hands are occupied and the instructions slip off the table onto the floor under your chair.

ya bad, i made mine out of wood, it holds the instructions but i added clamps to hold paint brushes while i am using them. It does not matter how organized you get it still take lot of room to build (usually) my entire dining room table 6X12.
