Easy
Process:
I didn't realize how many times I have rummaged through my tray where I keep all my markers and pens so I decided I was gonna take an old piece of left-over 18-gauge rocker panel from a previous car repair and make me a marker holders.
All I had to do is measure, punch, pre-drill and then drill the holes to 5/8". After deburring the back, all I had to do is drill 4 more holes for the mounting screws and screw it into the bottom of my tool shelf.
I ended up taking it down again, drilling a bunch more 1/2" holes for my permanent jiffy markers and putting it back up.
It looks really nice and I'm sure will save me a lot of time in the future because I won't have to go digging through my marker tray.
