Those of you who have looked at my workshop know that I’m working in about 300 sq ft. Probably makes me obsessive/compulsive about being organized-I’m one of those guys who can’t work in “creative clutter” in my shop. I also hate having to spend time looking for tools needed for a project.
Got very tired of looking through several drawers and plastic storage bins every time I needed a particular drill bit size. Had some scrap cherry pieces and MDF lying around the shop, so I got busy building a drill bit cabinet.
It stores not only the bits, by size and type, but my combination square, phillips and pocket screw driver bits, marking knives, and marking guage-saves a ton of time finding the right size and type of drill bit.
Not a piece of fine furniture, but it’s one of the things that makes working in the shop really enjoyable.

My shop is much smaller than yours, so I need one of these of my own, too. Yes, it saves time, makes it enjoyable, and neat.

Here in Gainesville my work area is 250 sq ft. I understand your situation perfectly. As a side note, I’m contemplating makeing a box for my nephew, to hold a 12 piece set of brad point drills.
