If I can fabricate this, then anyone can.
I use 1/2" drive impact sockets a lot with either air or electric impact wrench and needed something to hold sockets so I made this out of scrap stuff.
I lined up sockets in a row on 3/4" board, drew a straight line & cut for bottom and top. Then 3/4" around sides, top is hinged at back, front a strap hinge bent. Turn the lock part holds it. Painted, then white marker sizes. It's easy to carry.

Nice work! I wish I had as steady a hand with a marking pen as you.

I like the socket rails. $1@ at HF. 'socket tray'

I've found that the sizes on my impact sockets are very difficult to see since they are stamped into black metal. So I clean any grease off them then lightly wipe white paint on them and then very lightly wipe most of it off. The white paint sticks in the indentations.
