Lucas the Inventor

Lucas invented a storage system for cleaning up a cluttered desk, while still keeping everything within easy reach.

It consists of a tablecloth clip, a spring loaded key ring, a short length of lamp chain, and a small plastic container with a screw on lid.

His original plan was to have a locking container, but given that it's due tomorrow, we made a few design changes.

He also planned on using a pulley to support the container, but I convinced him to change that approach, as the key ring is a simpler design, combining the pulley and counterweight into one nice small package.

Overall, he did quite well.
