Socket Organizer for Tool Box | CNC Project

Intro: Socket Organizer for Tool Box | CNC Project

Are you tired of opening your Toolbox and searching for hours to find the right socket, Maybe not that long. LOL

So I had a idea, you can buy these Foam insert organizers, but they ain't Cheap. Why not make my own, so I did.

STEP 1:

Apply the Blue painters tape to the Melamine board and bottom side of Foam mats. Spray a coat of Adhesive on both parts. Then attached them together, use some boards and weights to hold down flat, for at least a Hour.

Note might not have to leave them for a Hour

STEP 2:

I then had to measure every socket, Ratchet and etc. I played with several layouts, but this is what I came up with.

Open Vectric Aspire, or other Cad program. In Vectric, this is the Layout that I came up with. Later after carving the first design, I did change the Layout some.

STEP 3:

Then I took the Melamine board with the Foam attached, fasten in to my CNC table. I then installed a 1/4" Compression bit, and began carving. After carving the first one, I had to change a couple of things, one was the Speed Wrench, it was harder to draw, but then I decided to put my Ratchets closer up front. That's when I came out with version 2.0.

Pratice makes Perfect

STEP 4:

This is what it looked like after finding all my Sockets. Don't this look so Neat, Now I can find my sockets so easy. Thanks for checking out my Instructable.
