PVC Tape TroughFinding a good way to store the assorted rolls of tape in my shop has always been frustrating. I wanted a way to make every roll accessible. A section of 6"-dia. drain pipe was the answer. Just carefully rip the pipe in two on the table saw to make a handy trough like you see in the photo. Long screws secure it to the wall studs. Now my "library" of tape rolls sits like books on a shelf.

As I was reorganizing my router bits, it occurred to me that I could just make a tray from a piece of MDF and avoid building a drawer. All you need to do is mount drawer slides to the edges of the tray and install it in a cabinet. Slightly oversized holes hold the drill bits for easy access and organization. And a finger hole near the edge makes it easy to slide the tray out. Michael Peavey Wilson, North Carolina |
