Wall mounted tools

My research is winding down and the Cornell Computational Synthesis Lab, home of the Fab@Home project has turned its collective effort to dealing with the mess.

As we are constantly experimenting with hardware design and new tools for the Fab@Home, we tend to have a number of them lying around sticking in draws and so on.

I designed a wall mounted rack for them, taking advantage of the Model II's universal quick mount feature. Initially the plan was to have sliding mounts placed in wall mounted rails to allow for a wide range of tools. With the addition of drill holes into the tabs on the sliders, the simpler option of just screwing them into the wall presented itself.
