12: The drawer to my right is for scrap styrene. When
cutting sheet styrene, some of the leftover pieces are too
small to put back in the package with the uncut sheets but
too large to simply throw away – instead they are tossed
in this drawer. These pieces are often just what I need to
make a jig, gusset, or fashion into a small part.

13: The drawer on the far right is my scrap drawer. I
do filing over this drawer and sweep cutoffs from my
modeling mat into it. It also serves as a “Trash Can”
in “computer jargon”. It is easy to find a part that I
tossed into this drawer but I later realized that I actu-
ally needed. I have a 12”x12” ceramic fiber pad which
can be placed over this drawer to provide a convenient
space for soldering.
