When it comes to the care and sharpening of router bits, step one is to keep them out of harm’s way. Tossing your tools into a messy drawer or box is a recipe for dull cutting edges and misplaced bits.

Brian Geerts of Brantford, Ont. keeps his bits safe and secure with a simple inverted-T drawer. Built from a piece of scrap hardwood, some 3/4-in. plywood and a full-extension drawer slide, Brian’s device is quick and easy-to-build, tucks away in a jiffy, and has plenty of space for his entire collection of router bits.
