In this video, I'm making a storage case for organizing my huge amount of drill bits! Full plans with all dimensions are available at shopwwmm.com/ on a pay-what-you-want basis.
Five Main Reasons to Make This Drill Bit Case:
• Organization: The case allows for neat organization of drill bits by size and type, making it easier to find the right bit quickly without rummaging through a cluttered drawer.
• Efficiency: Having a well-organized case can save time during projects, as it minimizes the effort spent searching for the right bit, especially when working under time constraints.
• Customization: Building your own case means you can customize the layout and size to perfectly fit your specific collection of drill bits, including accommodations for unusual sizes or specialty bits.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Using a high-quality wood like cherry and applying a fine finish not only makes the drill bit case functional but also a visually appealing addition to your workshop.

I love that after all these years, you still have great practical projects and are still in your little garage shop. It is so relatable. Too many content creators end up in a 30,000 sq ft "dream shop" with 100K+ worth of tools in it.
I agree, I followed others, and eventually, they end up with high dollar equipment and me being a weekend diy'r, I end up losing interest in them. Still have interest in WWMM. 😊
Steve is like the AC/DC of YT woodworkers. He’s found a successful formula and he sticks to it. That’s why he’s one of the few guys I still watch after several years.
I sweated a bit about the position of your thumb when separating the two halves of the box.
‼‼‼‼‼
Listen man... this guy has been wood working for decades and still has all his digits. I'm sure he's tired of hearing from the internet safety police.
@@tmdwu3110 That's why I didn't make a big fuss, but if he reviews the shot, I'm sure Steve will understand our concern.
@@donjohnson24 I went back and looked at it again. You're right, does appear pretty close.
Is it just me, or was your hand terrifyingly close to the blade when cutting the top of the box off?
In the years I’ve been watching you, choosing the best side of the wood was great to learn early on.
Thank you! Yes, it's easy to overlook this simple thing!
I don't know what it is, but listening to princess meyama's meow meows theme at the end always puts me in a better mood
It's nostalgic in a way, right? Ramsay vintage! 🤣
Great project Steve! The box is straight forward yet the number of customizations for your pet project still boggles the mind.
Keep a magnet handy to pick up the little ones.
I first discovered the channel during the lockdown series. Went back and watched a lot of the older stuff after and have stayed with you since. That being said, the ending music even gives me a bit of nostalgia!
Me too
One of the Best knowledgeable channels!
As I was watching you cut the lid off, I flashed back to before TH-cam to WWMM where I learned from you how to make a box and cut the lid off. That lesson has served me well thru the many years since. There are many other things I learned watching you but it goes back farther than my memory does lol.
Nice storage project. I like to use "infrastructure" projects like this to experiment with finishes. Thus the collection of storage solution projects in my shop looks like a rainbow of various stains, milk paints, spray lacquer, Osmo polyoil, clear polyurethane, etc. etc.
About halfway through watching I realized that as an alternative, if you leave the lid off and out some drawer slides on the side, you could make this a drawer.
Great project, thank you Steve!
Drill holes into the dividers so you can test the drill sizes to make sure they’re all the same in each compartment
Or install a commercial drill sizer. I find holes drilled in wood don't always stay the right size.
workshop projects are the idea time to experiment with finishes, it doesn't really matter that much if it doesn't work out
chamfer is not only for better look, it also prevents chipping on the edges, so it looks good and it serves a purpose to this shop project
Yes and it helps to pick up the box. Your fingers can get under a bit
@@philipwaters5043 true didnt even think about this!
I've been watching for years. I really love learning new stuff, especially technical stuff like this. Really wish there were others like auto mechanics for mere mortals, robotics, tailoring, programming, welding, plumbing, gardening etc. this format clicks for me
The thing I love about your projects is they are always practical, look good, and can be made using mostly basic woodworking tools, that many of us already have.
Ha! I was thinking about making a drill bit box just earlier this week! Though I was thinking about glueing some 44x69mm leftover beams together and routering out the bit pockets. 😝
Great project! This would make a lovely Father's day gift.
Questions: When you were gluing the spacers and dividers in place, how did you "clamp" them? Was gravity enough? Also, how did you sand in the middle of them to get any excess glue out? I think even if I sanded by hand, I'd knock the spacers out if they weren't really well bonded. Thanks!
Great design! I made this bit organizer 5 or 6 years ago when you first made a similar video and I still use it almost every day.
As long as it's still storing the bits, technically you're actually using it every day!
Nice design. I can modify this to make a case for my auger bits instead of them banging around in a cardboard box. Thanks.
You've done it again Steve, and shown me how I'm going to spend my weekend.
Thanks for this, Steve. You gave me a simple way to build a noce box!
Very nice and useful. Looks like a good Christmas gift idea for a workshop friend or relative.
Nice. Simple. elegant and useful. Maybe it's time I got rid of those half-dozen plastic drill-bit cases that always seem to be missing the one size of drill bit I need at any given moment and put ALL the bits in one place! And at the same time, I can use up some of those odd little pieces of hardwood that I haven't been able to throw away because "They might come in handy some day".
Nice work, I would have stored a stick with a magnet in the big slot to pick the drill bits without having to pay so much attention to the divisions.
love the look of it... I think I would need a bigger box, for shovel bits and perhaps separating out wood from concrete and metal bits .. thank you!
Great project that is a really good skill builder. A nice followup project would be an organizer for these boxes if you have multiple of them.
Looks great, a very handy drill bit case, good to carry all your drill bits to a job, great video
This is awesome! I’m thinking about building this and affixing one of those gauge finder templates to the inside of the lid to quickly determine the bit size when I grab a bit. Thanks!
ah... the old funky music soundtrack at the end... love it!
So good through all the years!
Thank you, Steve!
New ink Steve! Looks really good
Timely!! I will be making this very soon. I hadn't thought to create the different sizes with center dividers like that.
While I truly appreciate & thoroughly these shop videos, I use a large storage organizer for all my drill bits, with one drawer used for a magnet to “fish” the bits out. That said, I cannot WAIT to make something similar to this for storing my selection of various brass screws. Thanks for the inspiration!
Steve, I also have been watching you for years and you are amazing, not only that you're pretty efficient on sketchup, you could get into the hobby of 3d printing very quickly, you can make featherboards knobs drawer handles, accent corner peices for a vibrant pop of color, or even make an inlay, it's pretty fun, if not that's cool too still love the content, it could open you up for more ideas for content, food for thought, the bambu lab carbon x1 is the flagship for a top of the line consumer printer that works out of the box, the AMS does create waste but it's possible to waste it inside the infill of the print, $1500 as a bundle kit. It's also fun to learn about print orientation, much like grain orientation, and knowing that sometimes its best to make it in more than one part for strength. By the way, in case you didn't know already, you are flipping awesome!!!!
I like that the dividers make the blocks look like notes on sheet music.
What a nice box!Very practical and at the same time it has an elegant look to it!
I feared for your thumb when you separated the box from its lid, though!
Thank you for sharing this!
Bringing back that old school music
This is perfect!!!! Thanks Steve!
Beautiful box! I love it!
Extra fancy!
Gorgeous box!!!
Excellent work! The Cherry really adds to the look of the drill case. Thanks for sharing this.
Nicely done! Simple but very useful project. Thank you for sharing.
Way to set the standard Steve. Great share. Hope you have a good weekend.
Great little build Steve!!
Nice! Little projects like your is good.
Looks awesome good job
Terrific project & very nicely done Steve! 👍👍🔨🔨
Cool project. I think I might figure out a way to include a convenient drill bit size template as your case appears to sort bits by closest fit, but various sizes can be close. There are a lot of times when you can say 'eye-balling is close enough, but for those times when you can't. Maybe a pocket or slim fit holder built into the lid so the template can be slid in and out easily. Yeah, nice weekend shop build.
Great idea and project
That's a cool 😎 project, Steve! It is funny how drill bits accumulate, isn't it? 😊😊❤❤
Great idea.
Thanks for sharing.
Very cool project as always...🤘🤘🤘
Exactly what I've been planning, well, not exactly exactly, but a super solution I'm going to poach and fit in a drawer in two layers :^)
8:02 Never mind the fact that it is a shop project, it is all about the learning opportunities! Trying a new finish? Do it on a shop project. Learning to use a new tool? Build a shop project. Now sure whether a new idea will look good in the living room? Shop project time! If it turns out good, Achievement Unlocked. If it turns out bad, it's just a shop project, not a custom piece for a millionaire.
It’s a lot easier to get high speed bits out of a drill index than trying to pick them out of bottom of a tiny compartment. My thick fingers would fail.
Cool!
hopefully magnets are good oriented
Now the question lingers, do you let your drill bits rub on each other or you treat them like metal files?
Hello Steve. I would like to know how to build cabinetry. Kitchen, bathroom, etc. How would you start if you were a novice like me? I should state that I have nothing in my area that offer courses. Thanks.
nice
How about etching your logo or a skull and cross bones on that top panel??
Good video. I enjoyed watching it. No one does project videos better than you. Thanks.
👋😃👍 nice project!
im curious the best way to do this project and keep metal and wood bits separate. Box for each maybe. Suggestion?
id need a latch on the front cause with my luck id nock it off the table or something and the magnets wouldnt keep the lid shut
Hi steve did you het new tattoos i dont remember seeing those tattoos on your hands before.
No indicators as to which slots hold which size - future upgrade?
I don't have a lot of loose drill bits. I've got 50 year old drill indexs with maybe 2 loose ones that are found duplicates or broken bits that I use to punch holes that don't need to be accurate..
Another excellent video, thanks Steve. Quick question, not sure if youll read this or not - do you make money from woodworking by building and selling to people? Im at a real crossroads with my woodworking hobby that I started during lockdown (from watching one of your videos, so kinda your fault haha). Ive now converted my garage to be a workshop, and have produced some nice stuff, i think people would pay for my work tbh. But im also concerned that the hobby I enjoy would become less enjoyable if I turn it into a business and it then becomes "work".
I guess im not the only one who has these thoughts and challenges, would be great to hear anyones thoughts on this.
Thanks again, love the channel 😊
Man I'm new but with some experience there has to be an easier way to do this right?
What dictates which plans are pay-what-you-want versus a set price? I understand if you are not willing to share that magic sauce, but I am curious since the other woodworkers I follow set a price for all of their plans. You're still sharing some of your plans for free which is generous.
Where can I download the cheese board template that you made a few years ago?
Hello I have a question, I am new to wood working well still have not started yet. I have done some home projects and stuff but nothing for fun or as a hobby. I have a few tools because I am a home owner. Tools I currently own drill, driver, circular saw, jig saw miter saw, and a hand held router (trim router). I am building a 10’x12’ shed for me to have room to start this hobby because I have no where to do this. But I am trying to decide if I should get the Dewalt DWE 7485 table saw it’s the 8.25 saw, or the skill 10” table saw. I have never used a table saw so I know nothing about the saws. I was looking into getting track for my circular saw but figured I will need to learn how to use a table saw at some point. But I don’t know what saw is the best for a beginner. The Dewalt right now is $329 with a rolling stand, and the skill is $299 with an integrated stand. Any help would be great. Thanks love the videos.
That's brilliant, Steve! Really beautiful work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
👍
New ink? Hope so - otherwise I've been really inattentive for the last 10 years of vids
What spray finish is that?
Curious too. The can has Watco vibes ...
He often uses a spray lacquer. He's mentioned his preferred brand in a few of his older videos, but I can't recall what it was.
One does not accumulate single drill bits so much as one loses all the others in a set.
How come I see comments from 2 days ago? I just got notification
Patreon
This isn't 😊this place to ask but I can't get threw else where,how do I delete your Patrion page? I just barely have time to visit here. Sorry
so you ask a hacker question here lmao
It's been a while... when did you get tattoos?
New tatoos?
40 years. You're looking for being that old.
