Here is the orginal article from the

ROCKWELL MANUFACTURING COMPANY - A DELTACRAFT PULICATION
Here is a handy way to keep all of your drill press accessories right at your fingertips. The two tiers of the drill rack revolve independently of each other for easy selection of the bit or drill you want, and the whole rack will swing around the drill press colurnn. It stays in any position so that it won't interfere with your work.

The top tier is holding 8 machine spur bits and a set of 5 plug cutters. The lower tier has 4 standard router bits, a small sanding drum, hex wrenches, countersink, chuck wrench and 11 drills from 1/16" to ¼", all in neat order. All three parts are made of ¾-inch plywood cut to dimensions shown in the drawing below. Finish with two coats of white shellac followed with a coat of spar varnish.
