My tap storage box.

I thought i posted these pics here but i guess i didn't (sorry). Here is my tap storage box with 4 drawers. It was a data storage file from the early 80's for that computer paper that was hundreds of feet long with the holes on the sides. I found it in a dumpster at work and had my N Gauge model trains in it for about 20 years. Then i needed somplace to store my taps and cutters besides in coffee cans and boxes. I own a metal brake and picked up some alum sheet and thought to make some zee'd alum dividers. Worked great as you can see. BTW i did it a few years before that other chap was trying to figure out how to bend zee'd metal ...Bob

I think you replied when I asked about draw stuff on practical machinist or somewhere. That draw looks good.

I have a multi draw I wanted to put dividers in. I actually have some 1/2mm over from doing the extension to my oven I might try and make a divider like yours.
I had decided I would try vacuum forming, not that I got any further than deciding;-)

Forming over what? the dies. Sounds like a neat idea. Any more info

No I was thinking I would make a wooden thing to form it over.

Isn't there any angle iron small enough to make the form from, laying a few strips side by side?
