Organizing Foam For A Tool Drawer

[Studio-N]

Hello. This is a bit off topic, but I just wanted to show you can always find an alternative to a more expensive solution.

I wanted to organize a toolbox drawer with some of my leatherworking tools so I went down to Sears to look since I had seen it there before. Cost was $20 for one drawer's worth of foam. Sounded a bit much. Fortunately I stopped at Harbor freight today to pick up some goggles and spotted an Anti-Fatique mat for $9 which was about the same consistancy of foam. It was just a bit thinner but would work for these tools. It is 12 SQ feet which is enough to do 6 drawers. It laser cut well with minimal smell. And with the diamond plate surface, it looks nicer than regular foam. Cheers!

(OH BTW, you don't have to point out how anal it is to be so organized. I already know it )

Great idea and great timing, headed to Harbor Freight today. Thanks.

Oh, That is the EVA foam mats you used as tool drawer liner. But they are better material like vinyl for drawer liners like from online

I bought some mats for the garage floor, 5 for $20.  They also have multicolored ones for the kids rooms.  They don't absorb oil all that fast and clean up fairly quick.  Lowe's or Hom Depot, maybe even walmart.  Other thought if you want a softer mat, grab a thicker yoga mat.  They are usually a closed cell softer rubber.
