We have a large canvas bag of tools on the boat that is always in disarray. I had left over Phifertex from the salon window shades last year so I decided to make some pouches to organize the wrenches. First, the metric ones.
Planning how to lay it all out.
Using a white erasable marker to plan the pockets.
I had leftover navy colored vinyl binding as well, so I used that to finish all the edges.
Continued the stitching and added a tie on one end.
All done and at no added cost! And I made an identical one for the SAE wrenches too....
And then I decided that the screwdrivers, pliers and ratchets needed a more organized home as well. These just got basic bags made out of some outdoor fabric.

All done! Hopefully this will make the "tool hunt" a little easier on the boat!
The spanner slot bags last really well. I add a layer of toweling on the inside so it soaks up any muck on the spanner without leaching onto the outer fabric.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea on dividing up the screwdrivers.
