Default sharpie holder

we all know how useful sharpies are in our line of work, and we also all know how easy they are to walk, so i made a little, 5 minute project that will keep a sharpie always in reach, since sharpies also seem to like to fall out of pockets. (at least for me)

I simply took electrical tape, layed two peices together, so that there was no stickyness, made another one of those, attached the two to make a belt thing that simply slides onto your belt, then attached the cap of the sharpie to the belt loop thing with more tape. this way, the cap is always on your belt, and you always have a sharpie by your side. also, from experiance, sharpies seem to walk less when there is no cap, so this would help with that.

I have one that has a short loop of small gauge wire passed through the clip on the lid with a piece of self vulcanizing tape (bonds to itself and won’t come undone). This then goes onto my lanyard clip with laminates etc for shows.

Other than that, my tool belt has a pen pouch.

Hmm, I made a belt pouch out of a leather glove and riveted it together. Used that for a while until I switched from ratchet&socket to ratcheting wrenches. Still pretty cool. Had like 4 pockets.
