    Most of my metal/jewelry work is for findings for leather.  The way
    I keep my dye containers under control is a scrap of 2" X 3"
    aluminum box  beam.  I drilled several holes in one of the wide
    faces of  it with a hole-saw just larger than diameter of my dye
    pots.  When I'm doing detail work on a piece I don't have the worry
    of bumping a bottle and splashing or flooding my work table, unless
    I am in world class klutz mode.
