Cleaning Kit / Bench Thread

[Got Your 6]

I wanted to start this to get ideas what everyone is using for keeping cleaning and other supplies and pics of gunbenches.
With black friday coming up figured this would be a good way to share as I have family members always asking what would I like for the holidays.
being able to show someone a pic here is so much easier t explain it..LOL

Not a great pic but I have a Plano tackle box I keep mostof my cleaning supplies.
I don't have a dedcated bench just an overall workbench and do most of the cleaning on the dining room table (yes I'm single)

TIA for posting and sharing your ideas.

The first "dedicated" was actually a jewelry box my wife picked up for me at a thrift shop for $10.00
Need to keep that good woman around.

Ran out of room so needed to upgrade.
Picked up "art storage" drawers in different sizes in height.
Also jewelry trays.

Wow prices have gone way up.
Fairly cheap wood but good enough for what I am using for.

Amazon.com

Easily cut dividers and same so/so quality, good enough as they say.
Unable to bring up light grey color with trays I ordered, 3 types.

Amazon.com

Have them stacked above my work bench with shelves on the left for cleaning bottles and larger items.

This might be a good one also.
Did not purchase because only 10" deep drawers.
Your space could differ.

I eventually got tired of rummaging around through various “kits” looking for stuff, so I invested in a full-sized automotive roll cab tool chest set, which is about five feet tall. Now, everything is totally organized with laser-engraved tags on the drawer faces, so anyone looking for specific firearm repair/maintenance tools, firearm cleaning tools, supplies, etc. can easily and quickly locate what is needed. I bulk purchase bore brushes of all sorts, and keep those in clear plastic labeled organizers in one of the drawers. Same for patches, brushes, etc. For the numerous cleaning rods, I made individual PVC storage tubes featuring very strong magnets that securely hold them to the side of the roll cab.
For storage of bulk (gallon sized) cleaning solvents, aerosols, oils, grease, etc., I use a industrial flammable liquids steel cabinet, which sits at the end of the eight foot stainless steel covered workbench. Above all that is a regular cabinet for storage of fresh cleaning rags, cut from recycled cotton clothing. Shop regulated compressed air is piped through the walls to a pair of hoses with nozzles extending down from the ceiling.
If it’s really hot weather, I can also handle cleaning chores on another bench outside as well.
