During the last few projects it was obvious I needed to organize this part of my tooling to make it easier to get to and more important, FIND. Had Forstner bits in 3 spots, spade bits in 2 spot etc etc. Never mind the various drill bit kits I have tucked away, or those fancy bit kits for drivers. So I started with this Forstner bit holder. That is done and installed. Have two more smaller trays that are in the works for the open side. Made this box and drilled the holes and thought to myself why not highlight it, make it easier to see? So I taped off that section and applied two thin coats of poly (it is a shop project don't get excited). Let that cure for two days and tonight I came back, removed the tape and stained the raw wood left. Interesting look, hey might do that again. Be a few days before I can apply poly, but I have plenty to do in the mean time. The other insert I decided to make dual purpose. So I made it exact light the others, same height. But I edge banded the bottom edges of the box and plan to turn it over and use as a tray. If needed later I can flip over and use it that way as well. Takes longer to finish but I have time. These two inserts are put together with screws, no glue. Allows changes later as needed. And this happens alot. So now I have next drawer down. Have 3 3/4 inches of height in this drawer. Made an insert with runner made of Corian for the trays above to slide on. Sanded the Corian down to 2000 grit then polished with buffer. The trays above I took a piece of 1/8 Lexan 1/2 wide and epoxied to the bottoms. Same deal here, sanded to 2000 and then buffer for polish. My idea being they would slide better. Bottom of upper tray. So yes they do slide, very well. Okay, if I barely nudge the drawer they slap to the back. Maybe too slick???? That is as far as I have gotten since Friday. Plenty more to do but layouts take time and then to find scraps and make that all work adds to that time usage. In the end much easier to find and use these tools.
