    HI everyone I will be sending along a picture soon of my studio. I
    have a whole wall that we put pegboard over the paneling (in case we
    move) and I have put all my silver wire, solder, bezel, etc. into
    large Ziploc baggies. I label each with size, type, etc. in black
    felt and hang them on the wall. Next I have an old kids desk that my
    polishing machine sits on and on drawer holds buffs, etc.,; one
    drawer holds extra polishes; one drawer just nicely fits 6" x 12"
    sheets of metal, each of which are in reinforced plastic Ziploc bags
    and labeled to keep everything as pristine as possible. My stones
    are in small Ziploc bags, labeled and priced (retail in case a
    customer takes a look see) and sorted into square rubber maid
    containers the size of a cake pan. These can be neatly stacked in a
    cupboard under my soldering bench.
