Project Information

With my workshop setup, it makes most sense to keep my drills and drill bits in the metal drawer right benearh my drill press. I recently got tired of my drill bit drawer looking like this.


I really like the idea of organizers that I can take out of the drawer and move to wherever I need them, so I made separate holders for all my different types of bits: spade, forstner, hole saws, and a cath all for my most commonly needed bits (insert bits and bit holders, countersink bits, twist bit cases). The holder for the forstner bits is a simplified version of Steve Ramsey's plans, the rest I just winged and made them the same height and length. All are made of 1/2" MDF and finished (like many of my shop fixtures) with 2 sloppy coats of shellac. Not real pretty, but real functional.

Nice solution!

Been working on something similar, same problem. Drawer looked the same as yours. Not quite done yet. One drawer led to another drawer, you know how it went from there. LOL

This is a good post for me. I've got all manner of drill bits in several different locations in the shop. This gives me a great project to do in the next week or so.

Im not very organized either, but my shop is one exception. I find it necessary because I have such a small space. Good luck doing something similar! Would love to see pictures of what you come up with.

Nice
