POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

[Boswell]

Then two days to let the foam settle out. Past experience indicates in a few days the static will dissipate, and the foam will drop like leaves in the fall.

If you can raise the humidity, it will speed the time it takes for the static electricity to dissipate. Might not mater or you might not want to take a spray bottle and spray the air but if you are in a hurry, it should make a difference. Of course one of those "Humidifiers" would work even better. This is somewhat at odds with the desire to keep humidity low in a shop to prevent rust ...

I managed to fit all of my (current) small fixture plates & blocks into a box, but it took a lot of iterations:




Now I may have gone a little overboard with my labeling:



No, I'm not worried that I won't be able to match the lid to the box, I wanted to make sure I knew which side of the lid was the front. Why? Well, that's where I make have gone too far:








It's just that it took so long to get them all in there.

Looking for a solution for slitting cutter storage, thought I had one of the CD booklets, with the sleeves. Couldn't find it, but I did find these from the good Ole days of burning music.

I put all things of that shape on a board on the wall. Since I don't use those often, they are up where a step stool is needed to access.

I use some stackable foam dividers for a repurposed card file...

In the words of that famous philosopher :

"I don't want it, I don't want that much organization in my life
I don't want other people thinking for me
I want my Junior Mints
Where did the Junior Mints go in the movies?
I don't want a 12 lb. Nestle's crunch for 25 dollars
I WANT JUNIOR MINTS!" - Jimmy Buffett


All joking aside... I have the opportunity in the new house, to organize everything as I move things... I should take advantage of this opportunity... Thank you for the ideas.

I store them in stacks so I know the arbor size.

With everyone posting about tool storage, here's my take. After getting the new laser engraver, the thoughts went from the drafting tool kit custom box cut out of wood, to a trailer tool "toolbox". I wanted to keep some of the basic, required tools for the trailer together, and I ended up cutting some sheets of 1/32" ABS (in a well ventilated area - I was careful), and using the same to mark some 1/4" sheets for the ends.





Thumb-screwed together to make the tools easily accessible, and I feel just a little more organized (and won't have to dig for some of these). Sure, they are harbor freight specials, but that is perfectly fine for me and what they will be used for.

After gutting a glockenspiel to use the house for a movie prop, I used some of the leftover parts to make a gift for our production designer.

Very nice tool organization there.

What is the purpose of the black tool with the handlebar grip? I don't recognize that tool.
