I was cleaning my shop this morning, and found my set of three nail sets. Rather than lose them again and have to use nails rather than the proper tool, I decided to give them a proper home.

I found a couple small pieces of apple wood, and made one flat so it could be mounted on my boring tools till. I drilled three holes in the other piece, then roughly shaped it to something organic-looking.

I glued and screwed the two pieces together with a #2-⅜ screw, countersunk from behind, so the mounting piece would still sit flat, then finished it with the Beall Wood Buffer, and finally I glued and screwed the mounting piece to the till door. Done and done.

Little projects like this can be pretty satisfying. Two hours and change from idea to finished product, and my shop is (a little) better organized now.
