I wanted fancy pen cases etc but just could not justify spending the money.
So, In the corner of my office was an unused tatty stationary drawer unit. (A4 size)
Boss said it was ok to rehome this unloved item.
Made myself a safe space for my pens! :dance3:

I think they are or were sold by IKEA, possibly at the end of 1990s

Well done, even though I find an old Victorian coffee cup to suffice.

Your pens look so comfy in those pen "blankets". :)

Good score, and good job!

IKEA doesn't have anything like that now, but they do have MOPPE, which has multiple deeper drawers, which would be great for inks etc, and what looks like a sewing box, which would be great for a pen tool box.

BTW, Minwax sells a great rub on poly finish that's perfect for things like this. Gloss or satin finish, just use a soft cloth and wipe it on, no spraying. Two or three coats and you're done, and it's quite durable.
