Plano plastic storage container for stones

[Charles Rich]

If you’re on a budget, check this out for stone storage. I got the idea from JDavis882’s video, “Wicked Edge: Implement Organization”. I just did some hunting for the exact one he had, and voila.

Thanks JDavis!

Nice… Always like to see storage ideas. I’m guessing the “too small…” area could be used for other stuff like scopes, pastes, misc. tools, etc.?

I also noticed they have organizer racks (for the serious stone collector). 🙂

Thanks!

Some more cases (including a larger Plano box):

Ya, you could fit odds and ends in the “too small…” slots. I’ll probably have one full of stones and one full of strops before it’s all over :cheer:

Mark, I really like your station, very nice that you explained everything in your setup. I think I found your Plano tackle box, too.

I’ve seen a Plano stacker that holds 4 of the 3700 size on Amazon for about 30.00.
But before I get that much storage for my sharpner, I’ll need to win a lottery for all the stones etc…that would be lots of storage. LOTS.

Here is my plano setup.
I couldn’t figure out how to cut the foam cleanly until I tried a cleaver I had just sharpened.
Cut it like butter. My neighbor had the foam, he’s a Refuse Technician and has lots of cool finds.
One box for stones and one for strops, light, arms and other equipment
I keep a pouch of desiccant in each to keep them dry.

I got one of these Plano’s today from Amazon. For $6 I am very pleased. The Chosera’s fit perfectly. I will get 2 more of these. May go hight speed later with a Pelican case or something for the WE+Base, but for now having some storage with protection for the stones is the first priority.

Well crum…Plano must have made a change cuz you click on the Amazon link to take you to the 23700-01 box on Amazon and it takes you to the -02 box. I just picked up one (-02) thinking this is the same thing and guess what…they do not fit side by side like the one in the video and/or this thread. I’m bummed. Gotta return the Plano box and find an alternative.

If someone knows the new and correct part number/model please sound off!

I bought this Plano box (1123) from Walmart it fits my complete Propac 2, angle cube etc..
I put foam in the spaces and each space hold 2 stones.
Works very well for me.

Good luck,

I found two 3600 which are six rows vertical. I can place one stone in each of the six compartments so I needed two. That’s fine, gave me room for the sharpie, extra long vice screws, and extra diamond paste in syringe. I’ll keep looking for 23700-01 but at $27 each I’m not in any hurry. These two 3600 together were less than $10.

I see you have some EP strips in use ; I like the box you have what looks like a power pack in.
