Lets see your work bench hint and tips. I will start with a real simple one
Paint Holder
I have had to do a lot of painting using those small Testor's paint jars. When mixing two or three colors to custom make a new color I have three jars open, often with a small screw drive sticking out of the tops to stir and make drops to a add color to mixing board. This has caused me to knock over one or more jars of paint, spilling and making a mess and wasting 25 year old paint. I have some model airplane dope that is unopened and over 50 years old. I store most of my paint up side down. I store the small Testor's bottled in Christmas card boxes and them in a couple of shoe boxes.
I finally made a jar holder to stop the spilling. I drilled some holes in a scrape of plywood with a spade drill bit, and glued a piece of card board on the bottom, simple enough and easy and quick.
