Tool Organized my drill bits

[slow-poke]

My shop is small so I constantly need need to cram 5 lbs of stuff in a 2lb box space wise. While searching for drill bits I found an antique drill index.
I like this style:
+ does not take a lot of space
+ shows Number and decimal equivalent
+ Patina is always good

So I decided to 3D print some for the other drills I have, not as cool as the original but they all spin on a bearing, so that's kinds cool.
Space for screw length up front and taller jobber just behind and then a few extra spaces for spares.

The ocd in me has been calmed by looking at that picture.

Nice organization. Always loved the old drill indexes. Someday I'd like to design some with my name, 3d print patterns and cast them.

Ya! My collection is a confused mess! Numbered, lettered, fractional, metric, spiral, spade, old, new, dull, resharpened, tapered shank, straight shank, 118 degree, 135 degree, plain HSS, TiN coated, carbide and cobalt! How to organize??? All food for thought!
