Manufacturing process.
So, for starters, from the surface of the window sill trim, you must remove the protective film.
Then, four sizes of 5, 12, 21, 33 cm are measured from the edge of the workpiece. Now, transverse marking lines are drawn.
Next, the blade is installed in an electric jigsaw on soft wood, and the workpiece is sawn according to marking. The blanks are each 20 mm wider than the previous one.
The sharp edges of the parts are cleaned with a carpentry knife. The resulting elements are folded in this way, alternating the side.
Now you need to make a box with holders for the holders. The author decided to make it from plywood. The back wall of the box should be 5 cm wider than the front. And the height of all sides is 50 mm.
Fixing the sides to the bottom with clamps, drills pilot holes, and connects the parts with self-tapping screws. Also connected to each other and the sides at the corners.
After assembling the box, you need to polish all its faces with sandpaper.
And then you can cover the finished box with spray paint or varnish.
For this, it was necessary to make the back wall wider than the front. So it will be easier to fix it on the wall. The author drilled a hole in the ears one at a time, and screwed it directly onto the wall with a self-tapping screw, he had it from drywall.
So, the box is suspended, you can load the holders.
And now it's time to sort the drills by size and diameter. On vertical plastic surfaces it will be very convenient to sign the diameters of the drills, and their purpose. Also in this organizer you can store screwdrivers, files, and other tools.
By the way, if all the details from the windowsill are cut of the same height - they can be installed in the drawer, then the drills will not dust.
