Making a Drill Bit Holder

[@papasmurf9146]

To paraphrase an old saying: if it's stupid and useful, it's not stupid.

I AM SO PUTTING THAT ON A PLAQUE IN MY SHOP!!!

[@jmorv8866]

Keep it simple, keep the expectations low and when it works, you'll be happy. :)

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

That is really well put!

I just use 18" magnetic strips from Harbor freight for $1.78 on sale mount them on 3/4" plywood. Replaces my pegboard.

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Okay now that's brilliant! I'll have to look into that as a way to augment my pegboard. (Too soon to take it down!!)

I might have used a printer to print out a sheet with text on it, and then covered the paper with two layers of packing tape for protection. That would make quick-and-easy labels. But like you said, doing the rudimentary version often has its benefits.

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Holy cow, that would have been a great step to take! (Suppose I still can.) I was thinking of using my wife's label maker but I don't they'd stick to the surface. Your idea is much better.

[@interiot2]

@@rattlingaroundthegarage Hopefully it turns out well! Random suggestion -- print the text with a white foreground and black background, so the label blends in with the black paint somewhat.

[@NutshellBrainery]

@@interiot2 Copy that. I like the white on black look anyway, so good call.

[@RoomiesGarage]

hey keep them videos flowing....new sub!

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Thanks!!! Sureal how this is turning out, but super enjoying the journey. Thanks for joining the grand project!

[@chiplane3976]

Great video - thanks for the ideas!

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Oh holy smokes! Ideas?! Actually, now that I think about it, maybe that's what this channel is good for: "Wow, that guy is so out of his depth. Then again, it does give me an idea of how I can do it much better." 🤣

[@edkinsel3553]

Dude-you have inspired me to update my piece of 2X4 . Maybe add some designations. Yours is cool.

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Too awesome! I'm tellin' ya', simple as it is, it works!

[@lassehgh4904]

I have something similar, but even worse, for screw bits, made from a scrap of plywood, and it's seen an embarrassing amount of use. I should probably do something about that. Next week. Or over the holidays. As soon as the other projects are done, I'll definitely do it.

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Man, I was working in the shop last night and realized damn, I should have added space for screw bits!! Will modify it to do that, as you say, next week, or over the holidays, or after I do this other project, or when pigs fly....

[@marks.2814]

Enjoy your videos. Thanks Basic is always good. Too many videos on the fancy side that just cost too much money and time.

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Right?! I mean, like like workshop porn as much as the next person, but eventually I need to return to the real world and work with what I have. Thanks for your comment and encouragement!

[@bluedragontoybash2463]

an excellent excuse to buy a drill press 🙂

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Right?!

[@bluedragontoybash2463]

This is a good idea ! I can actually use a left over black styrofoam block for this (can I ?)

[@rattlingaroundthegarage]

Actually that sounds like a great idea! I really like the idea of upcycling, and Styrofoam is especially tricky to apply to a new use. Go for it!
