Title: Simple holder for your reel tools
Post by: Islandgypsy on April 10, 2015, 07:54:11 PM
Just finished up a project I'd like to share. Laminated some scrap/cut-offs (used Titebond III) together. Couple different sized Forstner bits for holes, a sharp chisel, two coats of Polycrylic and done.

Being portable, when it gets a little chilly in the garage I just grab my stuff and move into the kitchen table.Yep, got a great understanding wife. Haven't tried cleaning parts in the dishwasher though like Alan,she ain't that understanding ;D(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m88/Islandgypsy01/deaf7e7c166d75dcffff3ce6d0296e0b_zpswgy8dt7p.jpg)

yeah sometimes we get a little butterfingered, with the grease and stuff or just plain clumsy, but it is a great idea, plus neat on the work bench , you know exactly where every tool is

A clean and neat workbench is a sign of a sick mind.   ;) Dominick

I try so hard to keep it as yours, but just can't do it. I'm now on my fourth workbench and still looks the same as the other three ;D.
How does Alan do it  :-\?

In that case I must be a genius, or just lazy. Nice tool holder Islandgypsy

My bench always starts that way (well sometimes :D) but by the time I've finished for the day  ::)

Hello Clipper..the screwdrivers are Brownells hollow ground gunsmiths fixed handle screwdrivers. I took the advice of the pros (Foakes, Tightlines and others) and ordered up a set and have since added more....lesson being I should have made the holder larger. This stuff gets addicting ,these drivers are a joy to use.

I hear you gang, I don't care HOW long your bench is, it's a foot too short!

You won't be sorry you purchased those drivers, they will last forever.
