I agree with Mike. I put all my materials and my vise in a large-ish
plastic box with a good seal. My wife persuaded me to get a "craft
table" at BigLots. It has lots of room for my vise and materials, as
well as my laptop and a lamp. It also has three outlets for various
and sundry electrical appliances one might need in the course of tying
or whatever. The side bit, which can be mounted on either side, has
places to keep odd bits from rolling around and getting lost. I would
not have thought of getting it for myself, but then, there ya go.
Now if I just had a place for the coffeemaker and the microwave.....
