    Given a vintage Canedy-Otto drill press

    Where can I buy a non-flexible magnetic sheet/plate for a home-made socket holder?

    Try something like this. I just ordered a few. If you do a quick search for Mag Clip in google, there are photos of them being hung from the side of a toolbox with sockets on them. The only issue I think is with deep sockets sometimes tipping into one another if hung vertically...
