    No problemo on sharing information, thats what this place is all
    about. Just wait until I do a writeup on the lapidary system. ;-) 

    The tray in the photo was my brothers tray, my tray was build in the
    same dimensions, but I blocked off two 6-1/2" sections, one on the
    left, one on the right. Lined them with some galvanized steel sheet
    for holding tools like you mentioned, leaving the middle section to
    catch the filings and stuff. I would like to make a removable tray
    out of the same material so its easy to remove to reclaim the goods.
    Just taking baby steps with the details right now, but thanks for the
    recomendation, ill give it a whirl when I get more time and see what
    happens.
