Flashlight display & storage

al93535 · Jun 21, 2011

I am relatively new to the flashlight scene, but boy do I love it!! I am glad I found this forum as well, loads of information.
So, I had no place to store or display my flashlights. They simply sat on top of a video cabinet. Even worse batteries and chargers were piling up as well. So, I decided to build a little shelf for them. I do believe I will need Nother one soon though!! What do you guys think?

Nice, very professional!
At first I thought it was bigger until I saw the binoculars sitting on it.

Looks like it's already filled. You might need one of these soon:

Very nice, and wonderful that you could build it yourself. I really like the drawer underneath for the batteries and accessories. Many times I have read that someone "lost" a light in their house, so it is great you have a dedicated cabinet to display and store them in.:thumbsup:

Great idea and beautifully done!

For those of us less artistically inclined, I found a wooden silverware/flatware box at goodwill. A drawer on the bottom and a flap on the top... velvet lined. I made wooden spacers and now the box is filled with EDC lights and pocketknives. Cheap, fun and fits on my side of the bathroom counter!

I really like the idea of a velvet liner for the drawer... Or some other nice liner.

Again, fantastic job. I wish woodworking was a skill of mine but I have to stick with "black/white," zero/one skills. The heuristic, gray area of wood never works well for me.

Regarding the flatware case as sort of an EDC valet, here is what I did. A butcher job, no doubt. Someone with your skills could do a much better job with something purpose-built. Maybe even some online sales! ;)
