I have a box where I throw the "could be sharper" drill bits. Then the inventory of sharp bits looks like your drill index, it means time for sharpening.

The shop gremlins have hid them from you.

The best way to find anything is buy one and the lost one will show up. I have two drill bit sets. One is odds and ends I have accumulated over the years. The other is the set of regular and Brad point bits offered by Woodcraft. I think they are on sale now. They come with a nice storage box.

Only two sets? You must be one of them young whippersnappers... :biggrin:
I have at least four sets, plus a drawer full of odds 'n ends because I keep losing things.

I like you bit storage unit. How much would you charge to make me one?
That looks similar to the few we made. It looks like you used acrylic sheet, as we did.
What's nice is, the acrylic sheet comes in so many colors. They have solid, translucent, and even neon colors.
Acrylic paints work well for the engraving.
We purchased some aluminum stand offs to support the upper piece.
One of them we made, had a French cleat so it could be hung on the wall when not being used, and is easily taken down to take it to various machines.

They like to hide drill bits, pens and tape measures also.

I used a laser to engrave and cut the holes out. Then painted the lettering before removing the paper.

Haven't figured out a price yet. Used some scrap pieces of acrylic that I had.Also trying to find some premade standoffs.

I had a very similar stand when I was overseas, but to save space in moving back to the States, I wrapped my bits individually and then bagged them. I still have them laying in a drawer. I need to make another stand like that.
Well done.

I'm assuming the plates are store bought, as He seems to be missing most of the drill bits required to make it....
EDIT: Nope, didn't see page two lol!
