After reading all the threads/post on shop layouts, re-dos, etc I wondered if anyone who has the tool chests (e.g. Husky,Craftsman, Kobalt etc) uses the foam (2 color) cutout method to keep tools organized.
For FOD reasons we had to do it at the Aerospace company I worked at.
But for dept budget reasons we had to do the cutouts ourselves (X-acto, box cutter) and while it did organize stuff, the results were not pretty.
I was wondering if anyone has done this using the hot wire gizmo to cut the foam cleanly.
And if so, do you make your own "gizmo" or did you buy one off the shelf.
There are lots of plans out for DIY there from elegantly simple to rather sophisticated.
Before I retired The Snap-on Rep gave me 2 boxes of the really nice two color [closed cell] foam for doing that; black top with red bottom piece, 12 paired sheets 24x36.
(A customer decided he didn't want them and the rep was stuck with them and tired of carting them around)
Hate to see it just sitting there, and I'd really like to get my two tool chests in order.
