    Labeled my forstners

    Liking my Freud Forstner set but the layout always leaves me hunting for the size I need. Not in totally logical order, Hard to identify by reading the etching on the shank, because its usually not label side up and its hard to read. Finally labeled them with my P-Touch

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

    Good idea, and yet my cheap GRIP set has the sizes molded into the case next to each bit recess.

    I've gone out to look for myself. If I return before I get back, have me wait for me.

      My older set was in a box in increasing size easier to find. They alternated up and down so they fit most compactly as well as Being in order. I considered swapping the Freud set into the Harbor Freight box!

      Would that be sacrilegious?

        Lchien, I believe you have ran out of anything to do.

        That makes me think that sometimes we like setting up our shops more than making anything!

          That was a thumbs up by me! Last week when it was so cold I spent many hours sorting out several shoe boxes of loose miscellaneous nuts and bolts, putting back in their appropriate sorter.
