This is a tool storage project I just finished, it stores a TON of tools that you can roll right to the area you're working in.... Files uploaded in the sharing section... I also copied an idea from my plastic socket organizer.... Took 1/4" round bar and sanded it to a steep angle. Tacked them on to a flat piece of 16g and painted black. After the paint dried, I took a carbide scribe, and etched in the socket sizes. All the guys in my Son-in-laws diesel mechanic class are begging me to make these!

Re: Tool Storage Project
that is a great idea... it already has my mind going. I was eyeing my neighbors wall tool box as i was going to make on like his out of plywood last year and for Christmas he made me one. On the inside of the door it has shelves with nails to hold the sockets 2 deep short out ft and deepwell in back. I could make something like yours 2 deep just etch the ft ones and make a set for me and a set for him. Thank you for posting.
just wondering did you get your roller done?

Not a good design....... no beer holder! Looks great! That took a little time to design and make.
