Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!
During the wait to finish the move...

Looks great John. Protective & accessible.
Another technique I've seen is - cut a gaggle of plywood rectangles, especially if you have standard storage dimensions like a drawer. Position the parts any way it looks good, trace around it. Add a fingering pocket if you like. Cut it out with a scroll saw or jig saw & laminate it to a base. Some guys even make lids using the same idea but now that's getting fancy.
The more things are organized, the less time searching, leaves more time of play. My storage is pretty rudimentary, standard size cardboard boxes so they stack. Ziplock baggies with masking tape labels. But more expensive tools deserve a bit better.
