I was going to make an inletted box for them all. It still isn't made. No need
to rush these things, y'know.

Take a short length of scrap 2x4. Drill one side full of holes. Go
about halfway through with the holes. Line up all the long slender
tools like little army men. Labels? Use a pen, pencil, or crayon
(purple if you have it).

It's amazing how much a scrap of wood has cleaned up my bench 8*)

"This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."

I have made 3 of those, each with 2 rows of holes. The problem is the modified
screwdrivers weren't used often enough to justify staying there. One is full of
punches, another is full of screwdrivers and the third is full of misc stuff
like shotgun sight installation tools etc. I may take your idea and go make a
4th anyway. Thanks.
