CNC + OCD: Making a Drill Bit Organizer
With plywood scraps and a ShopBot, I can easily produce this anal-retentive design
My assortment of drill bits is a mess, scattered throughout several different manufacturer's containers, and I'm getting sick of fishing through them all to find the one I'm looking for. So I wanted to make a compact object that would store the ones I use most and keep them neatly organized.
I also wanted to 1) Make it out of plywood scraps, to keep the materials cost at zero, and 2) Use the ShopBot, to create something I could not easily create with conventional tools.
Here's what I came up with. (And I'll be the first to admit I'm blatantly taking a page out of Jimmy DiResta's book here, shooting a narration-free video with liberal use of fast-motion.)
For those curious as to why I made some seemingly goofy design choices, I'll explain the "design thinking" in the next video.

What a waste of time.
Thats gnarly, I really like the idea. I just know that the hardest part in my shop would be the bits making it back into the organiser once they come out haha!
Very cool! It is a nice set of tools you have in your workshop. Thanks for posting and I look forward to "design thinking" movie:-)
It would be handy to add some sort of mechanism to keep the slides from falling out of the box when taking it on the road. Very cool though.
I've had 5S systems in my workspace, they are fantastic.
Brilliant!!!
