I know there was a thread posted a while back for this but I figured I'd just post my own thread instead of resurrecting an old one. This is where I usually am when I am not working 12 hours a day. Eventually I will build myself a desk that will hold all this stuff where I want them to be but for right now I have it 'workable'. 
First picture:
This is pretty much what I have left to go through aside from the wheats and attributed coins in the picture. I took all my bricks of 2012D OBW and 2011P OBW back to the bank(wasn't able to sell/trade them). They wanted to deny them but they said since they were machine wrapped they'd make an exception. Technically, they wouldn't have been able to deny the coins anyways as it's legal us tender.
Second picture:
This is my workable area. Search the coins with the scope, take the pictures with the DSLR. Coins on the table that the scope is on are varieties and errors but I was too lazy to throw them in the correct container on the box on the bottom of the table. The brick with the writing is my brick that is about 2/3 full of nothing but memorial doubled column/knee ddr's. I try not to keep any of the real minor ones or damaged ones. The boxes the scope is sitting on just has wheats in it. I'm using them just so I don't have to hunch over so much while sitting in my computer chair.
The container sitting behind the scope is designated for DDO's from 2006. There's a lot! The coins on Rays setup are all attributed coins that I was photographing for my personal reference. As you can see in the middle is my pile of coins in the floor I had mentioned in another thread.
Third picture:
The 'office'. Soon to upgrade the computer/monitors though but will have to come after I build my desk. I leave the side of my case off just to allow for cooling. I usually roll my chair between stations. Computer... scope... camera...computer... never ending cycle when I am searching coins. When i am not searching coins, I am building dynamic php/mysql/jquery websites for people. (which has been most of the reason why I've not had much time to search this year among working 12 hr days.)
Just thought I'd share my mess with you guys!
Someone offer me suggestions on organization tips! I'm in dire need.
The thread for the coin collecting software got me thinking... I don't have a problem keeping the information organized... it's just a matter of keeping the physical objects organized. How do you guys do it? I've started assigning 'serial numbers' to each flip and put them in numerical order... That seems to work pretty good. I just need to find something that can hold those flips like a baseball card box holds the cards.
