How to make a Drill Bit Rack | Workshop Storage

[@alanrees4837]

WHAT ANGLE WERE ALL THE CUTS

[@tattooedredheadx]

You have a LOT of forstner bits. Thank you for sharing this.

[@kellysean25]

Looks great that will be my next project and then look for all my router and drill bits. Cheers good show.

[@lindam.9282]

LOL I love this idea and I'm going to do this in my shop. By the way.. This 68 yr old wants that "hand speed" saw you used to cut those things....I wish we could cut that fast with one. Sorry, couldn't help myself, you made me laugh and that's a good thing.

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks! I wish we could cut that fast too. LOL.

[@jameshalleron7484]

I'm wavering between french cleat and magnets. Like you have have too many drill bits and they are spread all over my truck and garage. Thanks for the video. Love your channel.

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks. I think either way you go would work well.

[@kinkjarfold3816]

Yep. French Cleats are the way to go. Truly enjoyed the vid and will incorporate your idea into my new garage shop.

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks, they're so versatile.

[@woodsniffer]

I like it Nicely done.

[@MartyKane217]

That "french cleat" is super cool. Love the organizers!

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks, it's a simple yet versatile system. I need to make a few more.

[@MartyKane217]

Do you have a video specifically about making them? I'd watch that for sure 😉

[@JoeBob79569]

Nice job. Looking to do one of these soon. I was quite indecisive myself last week about designing some standing shelves. I wanted to do it for as cheap as possible so I was basically using scraps of wood from a chicken coop that fell down in the garden, a few lengths of chipboard, and plywood. All the wood was old, battered, and different lengths and colours, and I didn't have a lot of wood to work with, so I decided to just tackle it and kind of make it up as I went and adjust as necessary. Yea, it's not pretty, but it works and it was free. I'm not great at designing things, I find it hard to visualise the final product, especially dimensions. But I guess that probably comes with experience; when you make enough stuff you get a better understanding of your capabilities and what a project is going to look like when it's done.

[@homebuiltshop]

Well done on the shelves. Good luck on the drill bit holders too. You can do this!

[@mc4kvb]

Very nice. It always seems we put off doing projects of the things we us the most. Good job.

[@homebuiltshop]

+Becky's Texas Wood Shop I know! Why is that?

[@mtaur100]

Good idea! I especially like that you cut your holders on an angle. Good job, dude!

[@homebuiltshop]

Its so much easier to get ahold of them. Thanks.

[@popcorn-bh1in]

Looks really nice

[@Loosehead]

Nice idea. I think I would drill the holes while the wood was square, then cut the angles.

[@homebuiltshop]

You could do that as well.

[@gaetansamyn1287]

I love your video's! You look so enthousiastic and honest! Keep doing what you're doing!!

[@homebuiltshop]

Thank you!

[@irahoffman3867]

good ideas - I will tryit!!

[@homebuiltshop]

Its great. Everything is accessible and organized.

[@thecreator1455]

very nice good job Jeff.

[@homebuiltshop]

Thank you.

[@dade071]

I subscribe to a lot of channels and this one is my favorite. I am always looking forward to your next video. Thank you for doing this and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@homebuiltshop]

+dade071 thank you. I really appreciate that.

[@toddfullerton3930]

It does look good. Great job.

[@johnvodopija]

Good stuff! The end result looked great. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@sumosprojects]

G'day Jeff, great result mate & you've got to be one of the most hardworking makers with regular quality content, good onya mate, Sumo

[@homebuiltshop]

+Sumo's Projects thanks, I appreciate that.

[@hollysmith562]

I need to make some of these when I finally get finished up with some projects I'm working on. My drill bits are layed here and there, some still in the little packs and its driving me crazy to LOL

[@homebuiltshop]

This has been a nice improvement. Worth the time to build some.

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Thanks

[@sambirch4065]

love the bloopers!

[@homebuiltshop]

I think it's my favorite part of editing the videos.

[@DIYHobbyandpassionchannel]

good job

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks

[@sgsax]

Looks like a great solution!

[@goldendogwoodworks6675]

would it not been easier to drill the holes before you made the cut?

[@homebuiltshop]

The holes are supposed to be at 90 degrees to the slanted edge. If you drill them before, you'd be drilling into the wood at an angle. If you made the holes straight up and down, it would definitely be easier.

[@omzig18]

Hay guys and gals I have an assload of 1x4x4 pine I get from work any ideas what would be a good beginner project I could use them for?

[@greg6107]

his is awesome Jeff.

[@homebuiltshop]

+Greg Bungard thank you!

[@fredwest5396]

Fabulous

[@Snipercastt]

The best

[@ericlee1624]

Thanks for the video. I think I'm going to utilize parts of this build when I start laying out the garage for my new workspace. Did you consider putting a small cleat directly on your drill press table or where ever you use these sets frequently?

[@homebuiltshop]

+Eric Lee they are mounted right next to my drill press. Nice and convenient. It's within arms reach.

[@wbarber1102]

You're a great DIYer. How do I order one of your stickers?

[@homebuiltshop]

+Tikki Barber I just got some. They'll be available in a day or 2. I'll post a quick update when they're ready to go.

[@dylanmckale607]

What kind of drill bits are those

[@homebuiltshop]

+Dylan Mckale the metric one's are CMT, and the standard one's are mostly a Porter Cable set with a few Wood River bits mixed in.

[@homebuiltshop]

+Jeff Baker they're forstner bits.

[@dylanmckale607]

Jeff Baker ok thanks

[@billmorash3322]

Wouldn't it have been easier to drill the holes for the tool bits before cutting the odd angle? I'm not criticizing, I want to know before I make one.

[@homebuiltshop]

I wanted the bits to be at 90 degrees to the angle. If you want the bits to be straight up and down, it would definitely be easier. 👍

[@billmorash3322]

Ahh. I got it now. I completely misunderstood. It makes sense now. Thanks. I plan on making some racks for the inside of a wall cabinet so I'll have to figure out if an angle would save more room than 90 degrees. Vertical space versus horizontal space.

[@homebuiltshop]

Most likely, if you have the interior space, some sort of angle will save a little. You'll be able to have them overlap a bit when you mount them.

[@billmorash3322]

Sounds good. Thank you.

[@walter2670]

Cool

[@melodythomason5216]

too much work
