Store router bits on perforated hardboard
When using multiple router bits to create fancy profiles, the bits tend to clutter up your work area unless you take the time to put them back in a case or holder.

If you're using router bits with 1⁄4 " shanks, you can simply slip the shanks into the holes of any empty section of perforated hardboard with 1⁄4 " holes. The shanks of the router bits will fit snugly and the bits won't fall out. If you use 1⁄4 "-shank bits, you can drill a few 1⁄2 " holes in your hardboard near where you do most of your routing. Space these holes far enough apart that the cutters on your bits don't touch.
