Once I’ve enjoyed a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates (and who wouldn’t?), the sturdy, clear lid makes a perfect photo-etch (PE) working space. I line it with black Perspex, which allows me to easily see tiny PE assemblies.

In the past, when a PE part fell out of my tweezers, the carpet monster devoured it. Now it falls into the tray, where it can’t hide.
