Dirty cutlery holder hanging over glass stove lid with drip container

Question

When I cook, I use cutlery to get the food from the pan, and after using them I put it on a plate that is on the table.
But I thought I could do better, putting a frame of hooks to hang the cutlery in the vertical direction having a container underneath to contain dripping broth that runs off the used cutlery.
I searched for a long time on the internet and I didn't find anything like that.
I'm thinking of making a frame like this with aluminum alloy metal blades and solder.
But I decided to come here first and ask if anyone knows the name (if there is this silverware holder) or if they could give me clues.
I decided to draw the cutlery holder I'm trying to find positioned over the open lid of a stove (I'm not a great designer).

What you're looking for is a utensil rack with drip tray, one example here on Etsy.
The design seems to have phased out of fashion, all the items I can find that resemble your drawing are labeled "vintage" and have this older look to them - including construction materials (enamel instead of SS / plastic / aluminum).
I get not having enough bench space and wanting to save as much as possible, and your design in specific would work if it was NOT attached to the stove lid, but instead attached to a wall to the side of your stove so you don't have the following risks (pointed out in the comments by myself and others):

Stove lid closing under the weight of the tools (@Stephie)
You reaching out over steam / oil spatter / other hot surfaces to hang your tools (myself)
