Very useful video and I now know what to do to have my own pens storage box! thank you so much for your share!

Aaron i think i know what you mean about the marks left on the pens from the elastic. Because i notice when pull a pen out of my case there is a sort of whitish powder on the pen. And also my cheap Chinese 12 pen case some of the elastic straps have disintegrated. Now i only buy quality pen cases. Thanks for the link to the pen tray iv'e been after some of them for ages. I must get hold of a set of drawers like that. Thank you for showing us your pen storage solutions and also your office space much appreciated and thank you again.

Thank you Aaron. I enjoyed seeing your pen storage solutions. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed the video, and got some ideas from it. Let me also say that one of the things I truly loved was you quoting/giving credit to the people that one way or another helped you with ideas or other things. Thanks! :)

Hi Aaron. I love watching videos like this. Pen reviews are great but to see individual solutions to storage problems or ways of displaying a collection really interests me. Pen collecting is addictive, of course, and very soon you need another pen case or another set of drawers or more cigar boxes. I think it's really interesting to get a glimpse of your office. Enjoyable video. Many thanks.

David Anderson thanks! I appreciate it.

I use Contact paper that is made from Cork to cushion the inside of my storage boxes, cut to fit.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

Good idea

[@stargazer1359]

@@aaronspenvideos4420 I bought a few rolls for about $2 each...Had no idea where I would use it...Then I started collecting pens, and an idea was born.

Great ideas. Thank you Aaron.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

No problem

I have that exact art storage box except for 6 drawers instead of 5, and the same pen trays. I was able to create storage for 22 pens per tray, so 132 per box. I have maybe 10 pens that are just too thick to fit into those drawers, so for those I use something else. But these are so much less than any of the fancy wooden tray boxes you can find anywhere else. BTW, I think those little dividers are structural, without them the drawers would be too flimsy.

Thanks Aaron, I'm a little late to the show. I've been looking for alternative storage ideas and LOVE the drawer system. I found another one that has one more drawer on Amazon. Can you LMK the Depth of each drawer? The other one I found is only 1/2" and doesn't seem quite deep enough and there are no specifics on the one you mention. Thanks for your help!

[@JWHoadley77]

Very cool ideas. On your cigar box, did you put any "padding" under the wood to prevent the wood from scratching the bottom layer?

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

I did not put padding on it. It would have definitely helped if I would have.

[@vwood2]

Thanks - these are some really great ideas! I really like the look of the cigar box, but I was wondering if it smelled smoky? The drawer system looks great - thanks for the links.

[@aaronspenvideos4420]

The cigar box really had no odor at all.

[@vwood2]

Great - I’ll go looking. Thanks for getting back to me!

Where did you purchase the Pen trays (inserts)? Thank you, So much, GREAT video.
