Versatool Cabinets

I cheated and bought self adhesive stuff. I've used it before and it's ok if a bit thin. The good thing is as it is self adhesive it firmly glues round all the holes and doesn't pull away - as I cut them after it is stuck down.
awemawson:
The time was right, so today I've re-assembled all the door furniture, sorted out the stripped threads on the drawer handles, bent up new locking bars to replace the missing ones on the smaller cabinet, cut new shelves and lined them with green baize, and sanded down the top wood 'bench' surfaces. The later I may replace - they are pretty tatty and I can't sand them any more as they are plywood, and I'll go through the top lamination. I had some left over ' 20mm shuttering plywood' that I used for the shelves as they are covered, but it's not a good enough top lamination to be an exposed surface.
All I need to do now is decide what holes are needed where to store all the tools for the Traub CNC Lathe I've been resurrecting.
Anyway have a few pictures:

Started fitting out the shelves for tooling for the Traub CNC Lathe.
First - I used up two shelves for the static and powered tooling for the tool turret:

Then I had to think how to store the collets. Two types, one type for the main spindle, and these for the opposing spindle:
awemawson:
If I were to bore the shelves to fit, the set would not fit on one shelf without being too weak as the holes would be too close together. Not nice to just sit them there and clang together, so I hit on the idea of making a honeycomb of sleeves.
Gutter downpipe plastic tubing was just about the right size:
