discussion DIY - Foam inlay for tools

[Steven000]

Hi guys,

I haven't been able to work on any scale-model-projects lately due to a lack of time,
but recently I ordered some foam boards to organize my garage tool-cart and I found it very useful to organize my modeling-tools as well.
I searched the internet for 'EPE Foam inlay', but in the US it's best known as 'Kaizen foam'

So I thought some of you might find this interesting, here's one I made for a drawer in my hobby corner...

I've laid down my 'most-used' tools on the foam and with a sharp, new blade I slowly cut the outlines.
Then the hardest part is scraping it out with your finger.


After a lot of cutting I got a pretty cool result.




I used the foam in my (Ikea) drawer unit,
This drawer comes out only 35cm, something you might need to think about beforehand.


So that's all,
If you made one yourself, feel free to post a picture of it ; )

Cheers,
Steven

Here's an other one I made for my label-printer, there's really a ton of stuff you can organize! : D


Cheers,

That’s a very good idea, though I doubt I’d want to use it myself — not just for the want of a desk drawer to put it in, but also because if I did have a drawer like that I would eventually end up putting more tools in it than will fit anyway

@Jakko, Yes I know what you mean : D, I did just one drawer with the tools I use the most, but my other drawers are all filled with a bunch of unorganized stuff ; D
Cheers, Steven
