Cool tool storage idea

[Anthony Scott]

I have GOT to give this a try! Not my idea, but I wish it was!

Now that is cool! I will also have to try this!

[Charlie Gummer]

Very clever, thanks for sharing.

[Michael Wildt]

Nice idea for sure. Only potential problem is that the fabric used could absorb moisture and cause the tools to rust. Not sure if a some synthetic 'dress liner comes to mind' fabric could be used instead. Could give more of a silk look though.

What happens when you buy another tool? Woodworkers do that fairly often, you know.

Awsome idea but I don't have a drawer in the garage that that would work on. Every drawer has way more then 5 tools in it! I would have to thin the herd by 2/3 or more to be able to do that.

Yeah, that would last about 2 days in my shop, then I'd need to refoam.

Drat!!!
The story of my life - a few days late & a few dollars short!

I just finished a wooden box/carrier for my track saw rails & used some sponges glued to the inside to hold the three rails secure.
A foam and fabric liner would have added a bit of class to the box.

Make sure your drawer joints are strong and can withstand more pressure than the heavy item on top. Expanding foam can be powerful stuff!

[Rich Engelhardt]

Matt,
Good point.
IIRC, Great Stuff makes a low expansion foam that's much kinder on joints - and windows too.
We used that around our replacement windows last Fall.
