I have a lot of drill bits that don't have a convenient way to store them - countersink bits, step bits, etc. They are all rattling around in a couple drawers. How do you store yours? I was thinking of scrap glued to the outsides of my DP cabinet with holes drilled to store the bits in.

I haven't yet, but I AM planning on taking a piece of 1/4" ply, and building a shallow top box, and just drilling the holes for each bit, starting from smallest to largest...
Right now they are rattling around the bottom of a Plano plastic tool box...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

Mine are in the drawer of my DP cabinet, "organized" using those plastic trays that meat comes in.Don, aka Pappy,

My solution was to line the drawer with a piece of corrugated cardboard with the corrugation exposed. The bits are more or less held in place by the waves in the cardboard. Someday i'll a nice holder for all the drill bits, but until then this one minute solution works pretty well for me.EricComment

I just use a piece of 2 X 4 with holes drilled part way through the face. It's not pretty, but it keeps the bits from abuse.

At the local Ikea, they sell a magnetic bar that is an inch or 2 tall and maybe 18 inches across meant to mount on the wall for kitchen knives. Pretty cheap if I remember..
I mounted it on the pegboard and I can see all of the old beater drill bits and just stick them up randomly when done.Comment

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
