have a nice set of auger bits, to use with the braces I have. They needed a place to "hang out" without getting all dusty..
Made a box out of some 1/2" thick scraps of White Oak. Made a lid out of some Curly Maple scraps.
made a rack out of some metal angles....added some brass plated hinges and a latch..

Un-hook the latch, open the lid a bit. some of the BLO finish is making the hinges a bit stiff....detail of the rack system
racks for the bits.jpg
Mesh is the kind used inside a toolbox drawer. Three screws hold each rack. Bits range from 5/16" to 20/16" yep, it be 1-1/4"....
Store bought hinges, latch, and the angle. All else from just scraps in the shop...
Corners were made with through dovetails..
