So I bought a big drill press today and to test it out I decided to make a holder for all of my drill bits. The construction is 3 foot long 2x4s stacked with a slight offset. I added a 'foot' on the back side to make the little half pyramid stable.
The hardest part of the whole project is drilling the holes. I used a test block to set up the depth and size on the drill bit. I also used a scrap piece of 2x4 to line up the holes from the side of the 2x4. A fan placed to blow the sawdust off of the drill press kept me drilling instead of always worrying about sawdust messing up the alignment.
Then I drilled holes... a lot of them... of different sizes and depths to match the bits I have.
I think the end product turned out nice.
