You just helped me do my toolbox the easiest way thanks
Great idea!
Thanks for the video.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Very nice video. Great update to your toolbox. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God bless.
Thanks!
I really thought you were going to heat up those sockets and drop them right into the foam LOL
Very nice. I just used each socket as a punch. Put it in place, put a block of wood on top and smacked it with a hammer.
Super genius.
Why not use a soldering iron instead of having to heat up that stylus constantly?
Im building a concealed case for my gem stones, how long and wide can i get this stuff for?
@Doing It Yourself, what is that tool you heat up?
I suggest using an aluminium set square and not the plastic one I used....LMBFAO
Any tips on getting clean cuts when you trim the edges after the glueup? Mine arent pretty.
The best cuts I've gotten were on a table saw. Other than that, make sure you're using a new (sharp) hobby knife blade, or try a hot wire cutter with a straight edge. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Mark your foam, and take it somewhere to be cut with a laser. Plenty of sticker manufacturers, engravers etc who can do this.
What brand 6 point sockets are those? They look like "wall drive" or Gedore sockets.
You're right, they're wall drive style sockets. There's no branding on them, but I picked them up during a stint in Germany from a company called Stahlgruber. As far as I can remember it was a house brand that they *may* have sourced from a German toolmaker. The build quality is great and it was a bargain at around 100EUR at the time in the mid-2000's.
Thanks for watching!
what kind of foam is that?
Wouldn't you get the same results with a solder?
That's what I was thinking. They might not have had one handy, so they made do.
I should start my own business with laser engraving
Have you tried a cheap soldering iron for melting the foam?
Thanks for watching! I did, but didn't have a long enough tip to cut through the foam. I tried using an allen key in the foam but it didn't make enough contact with the body to get hot enough. Definitely worth a try if you have an appropriate tip!
You could just use a large solder iron.
That was one of the first things I tried, unfortunately it didn't get hot enough. Thanks for watching!
Were can I just buy one?
I bought the foam at Hobby Lobby
Well done. But what a smelly smoke! I had to open doors and windows and close your video.
It even had stink to my screen for a while. 😉
My ocd says no Bueno. Try laser
Honestly this is not a good example of how you should be using foam drawers anyway. I wouldn't be punching a bunch of holes in foam to hold sockets. Just get a socket rail or other container. I would make wooden block with a bunch of holes drilled into it to hold the sockets if I wanted to DIY it. That way you can take them all out over to a job in the house or something. It also gives you way more flexibility for rearranging things. Plus not all socket brands are the same size, so really this foam is only useful for this exact socket set. Whereas a rail can take any socket. Foam is better suited to larger items. Just like it would be silly to put all your screwdriver tips in foam like this instead of having them in a case or little tray of some kind.
Why not just heat the sockets and lay them in place
I get the reason to use Kazan foam for A&P mechanic situations due to the potential for catastrophic results from a misplaced tool, but for regular industrial, vehicle, or do-it-yourself mechanics, the inability to reconfigure your box as you add or removed tools would result in constantly redoing the layout.
I did this to my tool box at work. Too much money it tools and this system makes sure nothing gets misplaced at the end of the day. Reconfiguring your tool box is one option when you get new tools or you just buy a bigger box 😁.
Either way, I always recommend that my apprentices do this once they start investing more money into their tools
You could make smaller, modular foam cutouts for each set of sockets. Attach a sheet magnet to the bottom and you'd have a pretty neat way of organising sockets neatly. Many of the solutions for socket storage work, but look fussy/busy .
@@js14a I love your idea. Best I’ve heard.
Let me make sure I have understood it correctly.
Rather than one large foam sheet per drawer, get smaller sheets for sections within the drawer.
This way, the addition or change of one tool does not require re-creating the entire sheet.
Thats worthy of a patent. 👍
Really neat, and cute, but two time-consuming.
Thanks! It definitely took a while to do the whole drawer.
Time consuming but it will save you heaps of time during a job. Definitely worth it
this is so idiotic i almost thought it was a joke.
🤮
Only amateurs label their drawers.
