Repair Tools Storage

Hello, and welcome to my second Instructable. :)

I´m repairing many mobile phones, iPhones, Tablets and I have many repair tools for the repair. Sometimes I don´t have time and mood to search through all the tools to find the right tool I need. So one day I found an Idea, how I could solve my problem.

What You Will Need:

For this Project you will need these Items:

  • needle
  • black thread
  • rubber band
  • scissors
  • cork-plate
  • hot-glue gun

I found for my project a case, in which I would like to storage all the tools. You can use a box, or other storage option which you would like to use.

Lets Get Started..

If you collected all your Items, let´s start with the work.

I started with stiching the rubber-band to the cork plate. Every time I used a tool to align the distance between the singular stitches. It is not good to use an sewing machine, it doesn´t work this way.. Make as many "compartments" as how much you need, and how much tools you have. It was a hard work to do it by hand, but if you are patient enough, you can do it.

If you have all the compartments stitched, test it out, if all the tools fit in. In the end, I also have cut the cork-plate, so the size is smaller.

Finishing II.

After you placed all the cork-plates in your storage place and adjusted once again their sizes, use your hot-glue gun to glue the cork-plates, like in my case, to the bottom of the storage box/etc..

In the end, you have a nice looking, and professional repair-tools storage place.

The most time you need is for stitching the rubber-band to the cork-plate. Because you do it by hand, it consumes much time.

If you are fast enough, you can do it in one day.

Thanks for reading! :)
