After trying the SU inkpad carousel at my upline's house, I decided it was not for me. I got the basic idea for a dyi inkpad holder from another SCS member's genious design. I took it a step (or several steps) further to create individual spaces instead of just columns to stack the pads in. It is made from foam core board for the outside and upright dividers, and mat board (I had some hideous yellow matboard lying around) for the shelves. It took several days of planning, drafting, and measuring to design this. Next, I made a smaller prototype to make sure the design would work. Then it took me several hours over three days to mark and cut all the pieces. It was a bit tedious, but I am very happy how it turned out.

bcampise - I checked out your blog. Your inkpad holder design is very good. I like it. I designed mine so that it can be assembled without any glue and be very sturdy. That way it can be disassembled and packed flat for moving (being in the military, that is a big plus for me). I wanted to thank you for your blog post on the sewing table you built. I need to build a table big enough for a 9,000 piece jig-saw puzzle and that is the perfect design for such a project.
