Extension Holder...
Sunday, September 13th, 2009
I have two tool chests in my
shop, an old 3-tier Craftsman and a large 2-tier
Husky, and both are chock full of tools. The
Craftsman chests is used for woodworking tools and
accessories and infrequently used miscellaneous
items and the larger Husky chests store all my
mechanics tools.
This weekend I finally made a
very simple yet effective holder for all my socket
set extensions. They vary in length and the longer
ones tend to clutter the drawers so hanging them on
the outside was a much better solution. The
construction couldn't be easier. I used some
scrap Baltic Birch plywood to form the pieces which
are held together with glue and screws. The lower
Husky toolbox had 4 pre-existing threaded inserts so
I used those for anchoring the holder.
This was a fun project that
was long overdue as I have been wanting one for some
time and finally decided to make it.
