I wanted to have that quick visual reference for the sizes so I used 1/4" MDF and those cheap Harbor Freight socket organizers and cut the posts off. Determined the placement I wanted, drilled holes that were the dia of the socket organizer posts, cut the posts with a dremel and then glued them in place. It didnt come out as clean as I wanted, but it works. I might just drill holes for the sockets to set in and get rid of the posts (didnt have posts for all sizes, and they dont all sit the same height and I'm OCD).

Came out better than I hoped!

Yeah he bought a kit to melt and pour lead. Not sure how long the alum will hold up and how easy/difficult the lead will release, but we can revamp later if needed.
