Needed a rack, but being on a budget I just cant go and buy a nice one so I have some plans in my head. Until I go ahead and start building one I needed something in the mean time. Stop by my local craft store and was checking out their ready made stuff and seen this six sided pencil holder. Brought it home and took the dremel to the top to form some scallops. Still have to clean it up some, but you get the idea. Have it resting on a side table next to "my" chair. lol... And it cost me about a buck total.
