Default Discovered New Storage Boxes

This may be an old idea to some of the gun enthusiasts on this newsgroup, but
the idea of using plastic ammunition boxes to organize tooling was a new
inspiration to me. These boxes come in a variety of sizes and have seperators
molded into them. They are inexpensive and available at the nearest sporting
goods store.

This weekend, I discovered that boxes designed to hold larger sporting rifle
cartridges were perfect for orgnizing my assortments of #1 morse taper drill
drivers and a box designed for 12 gage shotgun shells nicely holds my supply of
Airco cutting torch tips. A lot easier and neater than drilling 50 or 100
holes in a board.

I am busy searching for additional applications in my shop. Who knows, I may
even take some ammunition out of the ratty paper boxes and put it in plastic
boxes.
