I have a set of long shaped files I bought at an Ace Hardware. I use the smallest round one to sharpen my seam rippers when they get dull. Why? Because my favorite and easiest to use seam ripper is not easily replaceable.
I have used a small wall paper roller for paper foundation piecing but now use finger pressing & a glue stick instead.
I have plastic tubes that held the very large syringes [can you tell I worked in health care?] to help my pens, pencils, & scissors stand up in a basket or the area of my sewing machine cabinet for ease and protection.
A rolling kitchen island is my cutting center. A file cabinet I used to use for work related things is now my BOM holder and also holds the projects I am doing at the time.

I posted this tool a couple of years ago. Would be lost without it.
