It is bundle up weather where I live in Louisiana (34° F or 1° C) which translates to shirt sleeve weather in Minnesota. Do you know what is weird? It is not surprising that the United States adopted the Imperial System of measurement along with the British Empire (British Weights and Measures Act of 1824), what is surprising is that after the rest of the world moved on to the metric system, the United States did not - change is difficult in the United States of America.

'Thus, the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.' - Dave Barry

On this #FreeCADFriday, I’m using the #Gridfinity and Part Design workbenches to make some screwdriver trays for my toolbox. The cool thing about these is that the cutout shape is the same between trays, but I only have to tweak the dimensions for each specific screwdriver. (All of mine are different)

I also made one to hold a hex bit holder that I designed and printed a few years ago. That one is a half-width tray because I have a half row at one end of my toolbox drawer.
