Button die storage

[trlvn]

I've got a hodgepodge of one inch threading dies from various auction lots. Two small sets, both incomplete. Assorted other dies loose, etc. I wanted some better way to organize them.

And I'm cheap...did I mention that?

Whilst wandering in the dollar store, I happened to stop by the ice cube trays and inspiration struck:



I think this is going to work pretty well and the trays only cost $1.25 each. In hindsight, the only thing I might have done differently is to get different colours for the coarse and fine thread dies.

I also spent a little quality time with my label maker so that I'll be able to pick out the desired die with minimal searching.

Great idea for organizing dies!

My cousin supplies me with bee hive capping's that I render to wax for use as boolit lube. I find ice cube trays just the right size for making wax cubes suitable for mixing with other stuff (Allox, and Vaseline etc.)

Having a label maker is a great addition to any shop!

ice cube trays good idea. printing something like that would cost $10-15 and half a day so those trays are good idea and cheap! IKEA has cheap drawer trays for the kitchen which I use for nut & bolt trays.
