Biggest thing for woodworking for me was just buying more pencils. I bought a pack of 30 or so and put all of them in a cup attached to the wall. Now I just grab a new one if I forget where I put it down.

Did you forget your ear? I thought all woodworkers kept their pencil on their ear.

I recently bought an electrician's pouch that velcros around my belt. Great for holding screws, square and pencils. Think of it as a wall cup on your belt.

Hard to tuck a pencil in the ear when also wearing safety glasses and hearing protection.

True that. I'm less careful when using my compound miter saw or circular saw.

Not the clumsy ones. Not after a little while.

ditto. also keep one on each side of the miter saw and at the table saw to use the eraser side as an 11th finger when needed
