My toolbox and clamshell cabinets are a few mere steps away from my table saw / router table. So I don't really need a bin like that. HOWEVER, as you might recall I Have wall mounted bins immediately to the right of the table saw / router table. In that are...

#1. Disposable brushes.
#2. Variety of gardening and chemical gloves.
#3. Way too many pegboard pegs.
#4. DId I mention pegboard pegs?
#5. Some more pegboard pegs. Yeah I might have a problem. If you followed by shop evolution I started out with WAY too much pegboard and pegs to match. BIG mistake...

I must admit, I am intrigued by the chopsticks. Mostly because today is Wednesday when our local sushi place sells $7.00 Crunchy Rolls... Must be lunch time...

5. There is usually a packing knife here as well, but it is on another bench.

2. A router collet that needs to be put away
3. The packing knives have pencil blades in them

Actually, nothing. Small shop and most everything is within a step or two away from the saw/router/assembly table/workbench. The workbench seems to fill up with stuff that is in current use.
