Throwing a System Into My Wrenches

Описание: A few years ago, I got a lot of wrenches at an auction. I think I have finally come up with a way to organize them. The wrenches have just been piled into the three yellow bins that they came in. This makes it difficult to find the correct wrench when I need it. What I would like to have is a way that the wrenches are displayed so I can see them and also organize them to make it easier to find the size I am looking for. This video includes three different wrench related projects. The first wrench rack I made was a piece of 2x6 material that I cut a series of holes into on the CNC machine. I put dowels into those holes to make pegs to hold the wrenches on. I hung the system below my big radial arm saw. This rack makes a nice display of wrenches that is out of the way but easy to see and easy to access and find the wrench that I need when I need it. The second rack of wrenches I made was for the open wrenches which I can't hang on pegs. For this rack I took a piece of 2x4 material and cut some angled slots into it. I hung the piece vertically and I can put the wrenches into the slots and they are held on display and easily accessible. I hung the system behind my computer and next to my dust collection system. The third wrench project I have done is to make longer handles for the wrenches that loosen the collet on the CNC spindle. I made these handles by sandwiching two pieces of oak around the wrench handle. Sort of like a knife handle but allowing for a longer handle with more leverage. These work well and allow me to tighten and loosen the collet on the spindle more easily.
