I got something like this on the computer table. The Grippers fit nicely in it.
Makes it sort of hard to get the paper out though.

Hey OB.
Good Morning, Beachers.
Hello Glam.
Another busy day for you. Hope to see ya later.
If you stop by WKRP, say hello to Jennifer and Bailey for me.
I think maybe Jennifer and Bailey have retired like some of us.
Off to do some RW stuff.

Afternoon, VG. WKRP was my all time favorite show when it was on the air....off the wall humor. I especially enjoyed the one where the boss flew over Cincinnati, throwing live turkeys out of the plane for Thanksgiving, creating havoc for the city. LOL....he said no one told him turkeys could not fly.
Leaving in an hour for son's......I NEED A NAP!!!!!!! (Spoken in Meggers' best voice.)
Good afternoon VGHello, Beach Babes and Buddies.
I'm getting a little better start here today (a little earlier), but I'll be getting a laptop in-shop in a little while. Gotta get ready to receive it and get started on it.
Hello, Teacup.
I wasn't gonna ask, but now I want one, too!
Hey, you never know until you ask
You gone yet ?Leaving in an hour for son's......I NEED A NAP!!!!!!! (Spoken in Meggers' best voice.)

Off the wall humor, to say the least.
And Herbert was such a horny dog, always after Jennifer. I don't think he would have known what to do with her if he'd caught her. 
Enjoy your day, honey.
Good afternoon VG

I can make a simple one like that easy enough.
Using a 1x4 is a pretty good idea. 
I was thinking of using a 2x4, like others I've seen. I intended to pad the drilled holes with felt, to keep from scratching up whatever is in a hole. Some of them get a bit elaborate, including a 510 to screw tanks onto. I doubt I'd do that.
I thought about lining the holes with felt, but I am basically lazy! These holes are only about 1/4 inch so it won't scratch.
Finished the wife's stand today, got it painted and got the felt feet on it. She is using now and is happy....

Oh, painting it was a nice touch! I hadn't considered that, but I hadn't thought about it past figuring I'd felt the holes. Haven't thought at all about the design. I've seen some nice double-deckers. But I don't want it to be too much of a desktop real estate hog. Maybe something rounded with a double-deck. A deeper upper deck for full-size Mods with a lower rounded deck for tanks and smaller things. If/when I make one, I'll post some pictures.
I painted her's black to match her jewelry making workspace desk. The other one I stained to match the woodwork in the kitchen.

She didn't want it painted Hot Pink?
EDIT:
Those are what? 4 ProTank Minis and 2 Evods?
No, thank goodness, cause I don't have any hot pink paint! Yes, that is exactly what they are. Good eye!
Geeze,
Everyone but Lurch and I are taking some mighty long naps. I'll give Glam the benefit of the doubt, as she said she was going out today.
The laptop in-shop either has a damaged CPU or Video Processor (GPU). If it is left Off for a while, it will come On and run for a few minutes, but then the screen goes black and the hard drive light stops flashing. It doesn't stay On long enough for Win7 to finish fully loading everything. It will not come back On unless allowed to cool for quite a while. I'm thinking the laptop was set on a bed, or a pillow on the lap too many times, blocking the air vents underneath, and the CPU has been weakened from overheating, so now it heats up to normal temps and stops working after a few minutes (the fan still works great!). It's a Sony Lenovo, so I told the owner to call Sony on Monday and get a price for a repair from them. It probably isn't under warranty anymore, but it would likely be a lot cheaper than buying another laptop. The hard drive seems to be good so far.
I'm running a virus/spyware scan on the hard drive now (nothing major that would do this), and will do a CHKDSK (a test for bad Sectors) and a Defrag later. I ran a Diagnostic CD with the hard drive out, and the laptop still has the same problem, so the problem doesn't seem to be related to the hard drive. This pretty much verifies my overheat suspicion. Not much else it could be.
FYI: There are two major weak points of laptops and devices like them. The plug where the Power is connected is the main major one, and blocking the air ventilation is another. If you set a laptop on your lap, even without a pillow, you need to keep your legs open enough not to let it rest on an air vent and block the holes, or even block only one of the holes. A laptop should always be operated on something hard and flat. I use a sheet of 1/4 inch Plexiglas on my lap. This way, if I'm in the bed, I can take the whole thing off my lap and set it on the bed with the laptop still running, and not have to worry. Plus, I have a surface area for a USB mouse.

Back to bed, huh? You'd never sleep tonight.
Go back to bed. Then you can stay up all night and post here with me.
I heard that! Guess it's better than the other option tho'
This may be one of those time's I sleep day and night honBack to bed, huh? You'd never sleep tonight.
