Default Organizing tools

Hi there. I'm pretty new to engineering. Before starting my build, I had just some handtools in a plastic toolbox. Then I organised them on a wall in the garage:

It's working out quite well, easy to keep the tools organized (at least the ones that have a place on the wall), easy to fetch a tool when needed.

The main problem I have now is organising drill bits, taps and dies. I bought a set of HSS drills in 1-10 mm sizes. They had a neat plastic case, but now it's almost completely broken. Then, I have an assortment of drill bits bought one apiece in plastic tubes. They all live in a heap in a tin tray. Reasonably easy to get hold of the right one, but not as neat as I would like.

There must be a traditional, commonsense solution to organizing and storing drill bits. There's a lot of experienced engineers amongst us. What do the pros do to keep the drill bits and taps organized?
