When I bought my mill it came with a full set of homemade clamps for securing work.
For a while it all lived in a biscuit tin -
My neighbour made me a little wooden box with a separate sliding tray. I used some flightcase foam offcuts and came up with this -
Much better

Thanks Dave,
I did a similar thing on an old narrow toolbox, think it used to house a cheapo socket set or suchlike.
I used some of the foam again and go all my milling cutters in there.

I agree! I think he could be quite useful, maybe I should go into production, theres nothing quite like creating order from chaos

and if you want some special bits to feel really cosseted, instead of Peli insert foam, you could use
John Hill's method
