I had to get one cuz I was getting really annoyed at dropping screws and having them bounce off the desk and then trying to find them. This whole mat is magnetized so when you drop a screw it just sticks lol

I like working on a sheet of padded drawer liner. Similar to the one used in mechanic's tool boxes. They are cushioned, so small rc screws that are dropped onto them, hardly have any bounce left.

Thats another good idea man thanks. I got that stuff at home. will have to roll some out tonight. never thought of useing a mat on my bench

What's cool is that the lazy susan is lined with a similar material.

Now, if I can just figure out a poor man's car lift for doing oil changes to my 1:1 cars

I really like the eye level part, it's hard enough to see with bifocals, I'll take all the help I can get.

Thanks!

Just an fyi: with the weight of the vehicles, the lower tier, of the lazy susan, was dragging a bit. So, I ShooGoo popsicle sticks on the spinning disc underneath the tier. This provided just enough lift to compensate for the slight sag, and now it spins nice and smooth.
