Storage system for your small stuff

[Doug Griffith]

Hey All,
I got a little anal the other day and designed myself a storage system for small stuff I have floating around the workspace. It's modular and easy to adapt to whatever your needs are. I've just begun to start building "layers" and am thinking I might add router bits, small files, CNC hold downs, micrometers, industrial sewing stuff, and more. No top yet but it's in with the vector files.

There are T-slot nuts pressed in from the backside (McMaster Carr part# 90973A035) and stainless latches (McMaster Carr part# 1590A43). The latches need some adjusting because they are all bent a little differently.

Note that I can only provide PDFs since I do not use Corel Draw.

Oh, and the MDF is true .250" not metric.

Happy Holidays

One more thing. Each "layer" is designed/nested to fit a single 12" x 24" piece of MDF.

This opens to a bunch of jibberish. What version is it?

[Doug Griffith]

CS4.

in X7 yes, in X6 - maybe, anything else - not sure.

That's great of you to share, but the obvious solution is to get rid of your stuff, right??

[David Somers]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that Doug!!!

You say you got "a little anal"? <teasing grin>

One silly thought. Since anal is short for anal retentitive, and it is often said in a negative way....I have always wondered what happens to folks who choose not to retain theirs? Doesnt that create problems in its own right? Hmmmmmm.

If you can't find true .250" thick MDF, I would just scale the entire drawing by the difference.

ie.
If all you can get is .216"
.216 / .250 = .862
scale entire drawing by .862

Then, for critical dimensions like holes for bits, scale them up 1.157

Pretty funny David. They have medication for that.

My OCD just jumped with joy, thank you!

My OCD just jumped with joy, thank you!

So did my CDO (which is basically the same as OCD, except that the acronym letters are in correct alphabetic order)!

Spectacular work Doug. Wish I had a use for it. I love the dremel bit organization

For those asking, I was able to open the file in Corel Draw X6 by both File Import and File Open and selecting the PDF.
