I've been wanting to incorporate a wooden test tube stand with tubes full of goodies--I don't bead, but if you do, I think that would look smashing with different colors and levels on display.

For the mad scientist look, American Science & Surplus has all kinds of bits, bobs, and gadgets that will whir, spin, and otherwise delight
