Organizing parallel blocks and angle blocks

[Unlogic]

For years I've had an assortment of small boxes containing various sets of parallel blocks and angle blocks laying around in the garage.

Decided to finally do something and mill some proper shelves for them.












In hindsight I should probably have used flood coolant instead of mist cooling as it created a small blizzard in the garage but it was a learning experience

I think the result came out okay and I no longer have to fiddle with the small boxes instead everything is easily accessible on the wall next to the mill.

Better it should have doors to exclude dirt and chips, coolant mist, etc from mucking up, especially, the taper gages, I keep mine in their original wood boxes, parallels, I keep in a cabinet on shelves with a hinged door that swings upwards so as to be out of the way when opened.

Did you see the pictures? His shop doesn't have dirt and grime... ;-)

That rack looks terrific (but wouldn't work in my shop for the reasons @benmychree mentioned).
