Dremmel Bit Holder(or Drill Bits,adapters, Etc Etc)
This may not be a great instructable, but in my own personal experience i tend to get inspiration from simple projects i come across like this one. Maybe you never thought to do this,or maybe you get a better idea how to do it. So this is why i am submitting it.
I have three different dremmel sets and im constantly losing bits because i forget which box it came out of, plus the cases are big and i wanted to consolidate a little. So this was my idea to fix that without spending any money whatsoever.(I also made one for all my adapters for guitar cords,headphones etc. see picture.)
I have quite a few more holes to drill,but for the instructable i left it at 23 or 24 holes.

Cut Your Wood
its pretty obvious what you need to do,but ill explain any how.
measure the size you want the face to be, trace or measure to make a second identical piece. drill holes through the face using the same size bit as whatever you plan to have it hold. I suggest using a size smaller and tilt the drill around 2 or 3 times to open it up a little. this will make the pieces fit snug so they dont fall out.

Drill Holes
lay the two pieces on top of each other and drill a hole in each corner a little smaller than the screws you will use to hold it together.
Put It Together
place a nut or whatever you are using as a spacer in one corner and put your first screw in. continue the remaining corners the same way. and thats it your done.
you can add a hook at the end,or in my case i used part of a keychain. you could stain it,paint it,airbrush it etc. anything would be more creative than my sanding job :)
Hope someone gets inspired by it or creates one themselves.
