I do not follow.

There is a balance between how many you put in since you do not want it too packed nor not enough so they flop around. I have a larger tray (still the prefect width and height) and could adjust the compression

I mean to put 2 or 3 trays together, they are narrow, they can easily reverse if you accidentally hit them with the hands. I always reverse all my smalls' containers of small parts when I work in my shop, e especially the small screws of laptops, lol

@angore -- why not share the Name, Manufacturer, Model, Source, or some relevant piece of information about the tray

There might be someone else here who wants to try your idea.

It is pretty stable. The trays were purchased from Walmart a while back. They do not seem to sell them any more. I was there looking for trays before I showed my wife my concept and she realized we had something I could use. It would be something you find in a dollar store.

Cool. Thanks. It sort of resembles an old slide tray for 35mm slides.

Is there a manufacturer's name on the bottom of that tray with any other info? Dimensions of it too would be helpful. Surely it can be found on the internet unless it is very old.

Thanks

can find those trays at most Dollar Tree stores. I used to get them 3/$1 back in the day. They are also perfect size for 2x2's if you collect coins.

What a great idea. I was about to put three of these in the trash bin. Thanks for the heads up.
