Over the past couple of years of increasing interest in the hobby and sport, I've picked up a fair bit of gun-related bullsh*t that has managed to work its way all over my house. It's gotten noticeably worse over the last two or three months. Right now, having a couple of small projects in flight waiting for parts, my dining room table would look to the uninitiated like I'm preparing for Ragnarok. I fear for the sanity of my cleaning lady, who, in a stunning display of discretion, hasn't said a word about it, but dutifully dusts around everything.
I've got gun cabinets and locked ammo storage adequately worked out, it's the rest of the stuff that I'm thinking about.
Right now, I've got a closet shelve taken up by a pile of holsters and bags of barely-compatible kydex parts. I've filled a small cabinet's of worth of cleaning stuff. I'm not even sure where is a good place to store my extra AR upper (not to mention the one I'm planning on getting).
There's also the various individual tools, repair and enhancement components and extra parts, books and some DVDs, various documents, and probably a bunch of other nonsense I'm forgetting. (I'm ignoring, for the moment, the largest bits of stuff that needs to be schlepped to the practice range or for a day of competition, depending on what I want to shoot. I've been hiding gun cases behind the couch.)
I've just ordered a cheap harbor freight workbench that I'll put in the basement just for cleaning and maintenance so I can stick a vice on it, and have a place other than the dining room table to work on, but I'm certain it's going to become a mess instantly if left unchecked.
So, the question for discussion is: What do other people do to organize their stuff?
