Woodsmith Trifold Drill Bit Index Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
A few of us around the Woodsmith shop have a fondness for antique tools. There’s a certain charm about the styling and utility of these old-time classics. When our managing editor, Vince, brought in an antique drill bit index, it inspired the design for the one shown here. The triangular index provides a stable platform for your most commonly used bits during use. For storage, the index folds up into a compact unit. The three sides pivot on pins made from brass rods. Each side of the index is unique in shape so that all three sides nest together when collapsed. The two free ends butt together when expanded.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Trifold Drill Bit Index standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
Store your most-used drill bits in style with this modern take on a classic storage device.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Trifold Drill Bit Index.
