Popular Post Ron Altier Posted February 28, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted February 28, 2020 My wife is an avid knitter and I had NO idea how many needles she uses. She knits socks and that takes 5 needles. Socks of different yarns take 5 more of a different size. She has needles made of plastic, wood and aluminum, etc. She had no way to store them where she could just reach out and easily get the ones she wants. She designed this storage block to accommodate and sort all of her needles. I made it of Pine and to her specs. There are 12 holes, of each size she uses and are drilled to the depth she wanted. I used good quality Pine and glued up the block, cut it to specs and drilled. I put a backing under it so it don't slide.........she loves it. Gerald, steamshovel, Gunny and 5 others 8 Quote

Gerald Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 Thought you did a smaller version a couple years ago. Looks like she buys more tools than you do. Artie, p_toad and Gunny 3 Quote

If he is like me I plan for the extra space and always think that is plenty. Then 10 minutes AFTER it is all done and I start loading it up, YUP probably should have doubled that space. p_toad and Gerald 2 Quote
