I had an amazing dream last night. In this dream, I had retained some woodworking skills from school classes 10 years ago, and owned a plethora of tools - saws, chisels... erm.. other... things.... sand paper....clamps... lol!

I created an amazing hinged box that could store 10ml and 30ml sized ejuice bottles, as well as support my clearos at a slight angle. It was amazing. I also had amazing arty skills and etched a beautiful design in to the lid.

As it was a dream, I don't have a box. But I do have two mischievous cats.

What do you all use as a storage solution to your cat-killing juices and accessories? At the moment, I just shove everything in to a drawer at the end of the day, or in to my carry case if it's likely I'll be out and about and needing to top up.

For bottles of juice, I took a scape piece of 1" X 4" board and cut it to the width of a drawer in the bathroom. I then took some wood bores (drill bits) and drilled holes in sizes to fix 30ml and 15ml bottles (the smaller will also hold the couple of 10ml and even 5ml bottles I had). I fit that board into the drawer. The down size is I can't really read the labels on the bottles but I have an organization system so I know that berry flavors are in this section, wife's flavors in another section, etc.

Another option, which i use for my DIY equipment and coil making stuff is a fishing tackle box. Picked up a good one from WalMart for under $40

Ive seen people use various spice racks and keep them in a cabinet. DIY out of wood, foam, even one looked to be a jewelry box lol. I just have a small plastic organizing case I keep my stuff in and slid it under my end table. But I dont have alot of equipment either. Just a couple tanks and a couple mods. I only keep 4 or 5 different bottles of juice around so i guess Im easy lol. Just be creative with what suits your needs.

An old sewing box stores all my supplies. It doubles as an end table so it's always within reach. Cat and dog proof.

Ooh, thanks! Love the idea of a sewing box - I actually cross stitch in my spare time (i.e. not very much at all!) so having a sewing box half devoted to juice and half to sewing supplies might kill two birds - and no cats!

I do really like the idea of making something myself, but I'd have to go buy all the tools to do so. I don't think I own a drill, and if I do, it wouldn't have any bits large enough to create a hole big enough for a bottle! Perhaps I could start with a small hole and sand it out from the inside... hmmmm... Would definitely need a saw. I'm sure I can think of some other DIY projects to make the investments worthwhile!

LOL!!!
A drill (cordless screw gun) is a must have! As is a set of bits. I use mine often.

Hall closet has been devoted to things not in active use (spare cotton, steeping juice, my diy setup). A variety of acrylic makeup stands for mod and atty storage. Pencil stands with drawers are great for beauty rings and coil units.

For the tools themselves, there's this: (not entirely filled yet; the cats have to return a few "toys" to finish it up)

Ah, here's one I made last night (still need to finish the edges on the pad for the drip tips), from some craft foam, a clear plastic card file box, and a bit of leather. "The Tip Safe", which can be swatted off a shelf, but not opened for the treasures inside.

My nail salon is "upgrading" their acrylic nail polish wall racks to wire...I dibs'ed the used ones for purchase later this month =)

Weird, same dream so I built this in a couple hours for storing juice only. I have a couple LED lights on the way. I wanted to store them in something that the pups and cats couldn't get into and that had shelves so I could see the labels.

Just waiting for the stain to dry and the odor to go away and then I will load it up. I hope there's enough room.
