kgstakes Posted October 15, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 15, 2023 Would like to know if anyone is or has used this brand of tool organizer(s). They have many different types and styles of organizers. My work bench needs some better organization and just looking at options. Picture showing one of their organizers. thibaultron, kuya, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jaager Posted December 5, 2023 Solution Share #2 Posted December 5, 2023 I question if something that ..... fixed .... specifically organized..? would serve very well with ship modeling - which has many varied stages - each with different tools. I have had good luck using project Styrofoam. 2 inches thick - about the size of a brick -- Home Depot sells smaller sheets of 1" project Styrofoam It is porous -so PVA will bond two cut to size pieces which is then glued to a 1/2" plywood base with a lip/porch on all 4 sides - a longer porch on one side makes for a handy stage for in-use tools. Punch holes in the top of the foam using the tool handles and they standup - fixed - visible and ready to grab - there can be a different brick for each type of work. Easy to move and store. PVA will not melt it - most plastic glues will - a hot glue gun was a disaster - PVA does not work with most plastic but most plastic is not full of tiny holes. mtaylor, thibaultron, allanyed and 2 others 5 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

Jaager Posted December 6, 2023 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2023 I looked again - and brick is a bit small 4"x11" 6"x9 pick a size and hope it matches your need . I also made a smaller "table" with a 1" foam top. I made holes in it to hold my carving chisels - the height set to keep the tips hanging suspended, but the base is a layer of foam "just in case" it is not high enough. The suspension keeps the blades in view so I can see which is which - side slots hold my scrapers - you want a set of small size luthier's scrapers - shop - boy is there a wide range of prices for a set like this: Peachtree's $25 does not seem that bad. kgstakes, mtaylor, thibaultron and 1 other 4 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.
