Sorry Geoff, Just noticed that was a first post. My reply is meant to be humourous, not terse! But seriously, that's how I store my drill bits – a shelf above and to the left of the drill press.

And welcome aboard!

A set of Bisley type form drawers with hardboard liner and subdividers?… I use form drawers for a lot of my smaller tools, though my headline imperial set (numbers to 60, 64ths to 1/2 and a set of letters) lives on top of one of them…. Alternately if you've got Dexion shelving they made drawer kits for most of their common depths…. I've got a 3 foot high unit that has 54 off 18" long, 6" wide by 4" high drawers (with subdividers in) in a 3 foot by 3 foot frontage… couldn't really be without it once I finish moving stuff, it's just swallowing bits and pieces…. label the front and away you go, and easy to resort the drawers as they just pull out….

Ebay might be your good friend….

I use shelves left and right behind the drill. The metal boxes are clearly labelled with a felt-tip pen. The sets that have been ground for brass use have the box fronts painted yellow and the drills themselves have been rough ground or emeried off at an angle on the blank end, so that I can quickly identify them.

I would be interested in any simple way of holding the box open so that it can't guillotine my fingers at the slightest opportunity. Perhaps a pad glued underneath at the front so the box is leaning back slightly?
