Hello FPN, I wanted to share with you how I organize my nibs. Here's a jewelry display case with a clear window top. It fits three tiers of trays that have 50 slots each. I then have a database to track precisely what's in each of the slots. http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt214/jonb55198/20170216_130130_zpsavjpncvl.jpg http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt214/jonb55198/20170216_125911_zpska442cty.jpg

Just picked up the following drawer chest to store my ink bottles. I got it from the Container Store for $20. (no affiliation) http://www.containerstore.com/s/4-step-drawer/d?productId=10029421&q=4-step%20drawer&sort=default The drawer will accommodate most bottles, but it won't handle tall ones like Noodlers and Aurora. I've started loading up the drawers with Sailor ink bottles and the vertical clearance is plenty for the drawer to slide in and out with ample breathing room on top. The smaller top drawers are still able to accommodate 2 Sailor bottles. For the bottles that don't fit, I can transfer them to 1oz. Nalgene bottles and they fit easily into these drawers. I'm thinking of buying a couple more of these and just put all my bottles in drawers in my cabinet shelf and vertically use all of the space available in the shelf, and also label each drawer and pull out the one ink I need without having to move or unstack any boxes. My cabinet is still a work in progress but I'll try to share a photo of things later. http://cdn-us-ec.yottaa.net/55df7e1a2bb0ac7d800040c2/ecdf7130ef10013390340a3ba3fac80a.yottaa.net/v~13.46/catalogimages/128859/4StepDrawer10043299_x.jpg?width=560&height=560&align=center&yocs=t_&yoloc=us (Not sure if 'Inky Thoughts' is a valid forum for this post, or maybe 'Marketplace', sorry if I'm in the wrong location)

If there is already a section for this, please let me know. I have yet to find one though on Storage and Organization for fine writing tools and materials. It would be nice to have a section for this for people to ask questions in reference to storage and organization, pose ideas, tips, or tricks, post photos of how they organize and store things, and attach instructional files, such as a word document, to their post if they should wish to do so. Just a thought Again, please let me know if a section such as this exists. Thanks! ~gracefulpen
