Pamper your tools in a cosy drawer space!
Ooompa:
I am going to unashamedly steal this idea and use it on a display box reconstruction I am currently undertaking. I will however give credit to the OP. I am just not smart enough to dream this up.
Great, great idea.

Go for it Graham but please post pictures!

Okay, so now that take two is done, I think it's time for a take 3. I've never worked with expanding foam before and it's definitely showing. I'm still not happy with the way it came out and am going to do it again. I think I finally figured out what my mistakes were and hopefully this next try will get it done. Here are pics from my second try:

20lb shop bags on top

The 80lbs of weight I probably should have put on there to begin with.

Here's the tools in the drawer. You can see that the sides didn't turn out too well.

close up on the form of the tools, still not as good as I want it to be.
I'll come back and post pictures again once I finally get a product I'm happy with haha!

Hi, do you think maybe the fabric was stretched too tight before your put the foam on? When I did mine I just laid the t-shirt fabric over the tools and I was fairly careful to push the foam down and squish it around abit before putting the board over the top.
You got a good deep fit around that crescent wrench.
I made a case liner for some of my astronomy bits and pieces and they didnt fit in too deep either partly because I didnt want to force the foam through the fabric onto those bits.
Bangkok Mick:
Nice one
