Needle File Storage

I have managed to accumulate quite a number of needle and rifler files over the years and these were stored in a range of tins and plastic boxes. This was not the best way to do things and could be quite annoying to rummage about trying to find that particular favorite file. So a better solution was sort. This is the design I came up with and it has worked well for me over the last 10 years or so, hopefully it will be of some assistance to you.

The base is a sheet of 8mm PVC about the size of an A4 sheet and the tubes are 32mm diameter PVC waste pipe. The advantage of using PVC is that it is easily fabricated into a range of designs using the cement that is supplied for fixing PVC pipes and fittings.

My piercing saw blades are in a jumble and a project for the future is to make up something similar using 12mm diameter pipe. 

I hope this gives you a few ideas for solving your storage problems.
