Place circles for bits to fit in
Draw 1 circle set to a fraction larger in size then your bit
For example I made my tool holder for 1/8" bits or (0.125") I made the circles 0.130" to allow for wiggle room and the bits to fit well.
Copy and repeat your circle to as many positions on the one top board of your box

Once cut out

Sand of the tabs, do any fine sanding to clean all edges up
I used crazy glue to assemble the box.
Start with the base and glue the 4 x 1" high sides around it
Finish with gluing the top down
Finally Insert all of your bits for easy access storage
Estimated time: 10 minutes
Comments
great organizer. just one question, where do you get those colored rings on the bits? can they be purchased separately from the bits and what are they called?

Hello, What Bit (Black, White, Etc) to use?

those colored rings come preinstalled with certain bits. Typically, you will see this installed on super small PCB bits. inventables.com/technologies/solid-carbide-upcut-…
