In the past, I had "temporarily" made a stove tool holder out of an old TP holder. It served its purpose, (for what it was), but was annoying, because the tools didn't always stay put, and also wasn't large enuff for the utensils that kept on multiplying.

then I came home last week, and the Boss had taken her kitchen utensil holder out of service, and graduated it to its new location.
I can't say it displeases me much, cause it does have a better grip on things.

Was wondering what our members are using to store their own tools?

Looks like some medieval torture device, but from what you have been saying you are the one tortured.

My wife accuses me of looking like a "confused" collie, when viewing your pics Merc. I can sympathize with you tho. My computer skills are sadly lacking too. Nice looking arrangement you got going there.

In order to give the wife back her kitchen utensil holder, (that "she" installed herself, W/O any recommendation from me), I decided to build another tool holder. It may be quick and crude, and it all needs some touching up, it'll hopefully do, for now. We'll see. Now we don't have to fight drawers to find a spatula.

Ha! Mine live quite happily on the hearth under and around the stove.

Just this morning I was looking at the array of utensils laying on the hearth with just the ends poking out from under the stove and wondering if it was unusual to have so much junk just to drive the thing. It looks like Dr Jekyll's implements of torture, and without explanation I don't think most would know the purpose of some items.

Hey Fred, it looks very functional and organized to me. And because you had so much room left over, you put some pots and jars on it, to fill in the M/T spaces, right? :D

I like your "Cherokee Nation" posters. Would've made Mark Lindsay proud.

You've got a nice house there Fred. 8-)

I had mine nailed to the side of the stairs before. Now with the stoker I yanked the nails out, pounded them straight, and banged 'em in here, closer to the stoker. :lol:

I'm too cheap to buy new nails ... :D

Clever and thrifty is always good in my book.
