I keep a few discarded jewel cases (plastic containers for CDs and DVDs) on my workbench for a bunch of uses. After taking them apart – most of the time the hinges are broken anyway – I use the backs as trays for liquid glue, super glue, putty, and paint. They are also useful for holding small parts until I’m ready to glue them into position. I use the clear front half to hold decals while they are wet. These simple trays keep my workbench organized and clean. When I’m done, I simply toss the trays in the trash. They were headed that way to begin with – they just took a useful detour getting there.
