Bet you were shocked when you got home, opened the door and found all those collets in there. Lucky.

New mission? Filling up all those empty holes.

My approach is similar to the OP’s:

Very nice. My chucks live behind the lathe bed near the tailstock end. I throw a old towel over them to keep chips out. I think I will add a shelf under my collet storage for the chucks, it’s a better place to store them.

I like it. Unfortunately , on my lathe I already have a very used drawer which is almost identical in design as the OP collet drawer. But I can always add a second one for collets under the current drawer. I pretty much have used every available location in my little shop for some sort of storage. Never enough space.
