Workshop Reference Stickers for Your Toolbox

You're mid-project. Drill in hand. You need a pilot hole for a #8 screw into hardwood — and you can't quite remember if that's 3/32" or 1/8". You pull out your phone, unlock it, search, wait, find the table, squint at it, and get back to work.

That's three minutes you didn't need to lose. The information should just be on your drill press.

Three workshop reference stickers. The charts you reach for constantly — printed on waterproof vinyl and sized to stick where you actually work. No more Googling mid-project.

The Three Workshop Reference Stickers

Pilot Hole Sizes — Wood Screws

Screw sizes #4 through #14 with softwood and hardwood pilot hole diameters. The chart that prevents split boards. Stick it on your drill press column or tool chest — right where you need it, every time you reach for a drill bit.

Fraction · Decimal · MM

Every fraction from 1/32" to 1" with decimal and millimeter equivalents — the full conversion table in 1/32" steps. Stick it on your caliper case, tool chest, or workbench. Invaluable when you're switching between imperial plans and metric parts, or trying to match a drill bit to a spec sheet.

Wood Glue Guide — Open Time · Clamp · Use

PVA (Titebond I), Titebond II, Titebond III, CA glue, epoxy, polyurethane, and hide glue — open time, clamp time, water resistance, and best use cases for each. Stick it on your glue shelf so you stop grabbing the wrong bottle for outdoor projects or food-contact surfaces.

Where to Put Them

The goal is to put each sticker near the tool or material it relates to — so the reference is in your peripheral vision when you need it, not somewhere you have to go look for it.

• Pilot Hole Sizes — drill press column, drill bit cabinet door, pegboard above the drill press
• Fraction/Decimal/MM — caliper case, inside tool chest lid, bench rule, anywhere you measure
• Wood Glue Guide — glue shelf, above the finish station, tool chest drawer with your adhesives

Three stickers. Three spots. The right information where the work happens.

Built for the Shop

These are printed on the same outdoor-grade vinyl used for vehicle decals — UV-resistant, waterproof, and built to handle sawdust, finish overspray, and the occasional oil smear. If you can wipe it off a tool chest, you can wipe it off the sticker. They go on clean, come off clean, and don't leave residue.

Size is 3" x 3" — big enough to read without squinting, small enough to fit anywhere. Ships flat in a rigid protective mailer with free domestic shipping.

The Full Reference Series

The workshop stickers are the shop half of the VARØ Industries reference sticker series. The outdoor series covers the field: emergency signals, water treatment, heat & cold illness, Morse code, and poisonous plant identification — all sized to stick on a Nalgene or hydration pack.

If you're the kind of person who has both a workshop and a pack, both series have something for you.
