I use my computer for designing and getting ideas off the internet. I find it easier to pull out a tape to visualize measurements.
I have a tape, steel rule, digital vernier, paper and a calculator on my computer desk. The mobile phone is stored in a bucket of water beside my chair. :D
So what tools do you have perched on your desk top?
I have a bluegum UB sitting on the desk.
2 video cams, 2 digital cams, couple of clocks, bills (that's the biggest pile), about 6 x 100 spindles of CD's and DVD's blank, a few music CD's to go on my MP3 player, dead pens, blunt pencils, tax rubbish, a few floppies that will never probably be used again, a CMT sawblade (can't remember why I brought it in), MRI referral, scissors, carpenterrs pencils I never got round to putting in the shed, kids CD ROMS, multitool and a heap of other assorted rubbish.
Oh, and a towball (why?:? )
I dont have a computer desk..... I use a laptop so nothing.
On this one 2 monitors, usual computer stuff printers x3 speakers mini buckets of pens n pencils bills apointments overflow onto spare office chair a large cutting mat

This is the bare basics. There's also a fairly heft transient population of woodturning tools, turning blanks, pen kits, sandpaper, woodwork & computer related mags & journals, bills, coffee cups and other similar ephemera. :rolleyes:
And John {Munruben} reckons that his isn't very tidy? :rolleyes::p
Actually since I had a big clean up yesterday, very little. I had all of last semesters uni stuff still out but it has all been relegated to the bin since results were released on Friday.
At the moment: -
3 piles of uni books for semester 2, laser printer, calculator, pens, pencil porter, ADSL modem and network hub, nail clippers, joke book, pens from Dai Sensei, scanner, folder of school resources, stack of lesson plans and projects for school this week and Rocker's wood puzzle from Ruffly's BBQ prize draw (no way in hell of doing that one without the solution sheet)
My desk is 2.4 x 1.0 and covered in cr*p:B :B . @ x desktop computers, a scanner, an inkjet printer & a dot matrix one as well:roll: . Also several years worth of filing, catalogues, empty boxes belonging to the PDA and MP3 player, pocket knife, tapemeasures, rulers, pens and pencils, rolls of tape, more paperwork, blank CDs and DVDs plus covers for same, + more, more, more.:-

On my desk at work, I have a little Gallery Shelf of work from a number of Forumites. TJ's clock, TTIT's Pecan Pot, Sculptured Box's 6-shape Bandsawn Box, Dei Sensei's Camphor Laurel Vase, Cameron Potter's Coffee Bowl, another Camphor Laurel Vase, my Camphor business card box, Reeve's Camphor platter, Soundman's Durian Platter and a couple of other bits and pieces from the WoodShows. On another shelf, I have Skew's box which has become home to Tyke's Menagerie. :)
Will try to remember to post a photo..
