Reply:Lincoln Electric has a section of people sending in fabrication projects they have done. There's a interesting one that a guy did for his tig consumables using toothbrush travel cases.Me- I went to Sears and bought an intermidiate chest with compartment inserts but am looking for a project for my GTAW students to make their own storage box out of aluminum.
Reply:Maybe not as OCD as some...but I use an old altoids "the triple tin" container to hold my collets, gas lenses, tungstens and shields

Reply:It started out with a #17 air cooled torch.  Then I bought the arcmaster 185 and I had a lot of the stuff.   Then I bought the #20 water cooled torch so I needed all new gas lens, collets, cups....Then I bought a #18 water cooled torch for the V350.  I had all the #17 stuff, so life is good.Collets, gas lens and regular collet holder for both size torches in 4 tungsten sizes.

Reply:Mine is kind of like an old tackle box. I have a few general tools I just leave in there as well. Cabinets for the spare torches and bigger stuff. drawers for stuff I don't use every day.I am not OCD by any means lol but it keeps stuff together.
