Shop Drawer Dividers - Version 2

[glenn bradley]

Once upon a time I had made some dividers for some shop drawers like so.

These worked OK and could be changed around to some extent. After a while I settled in to a pattern that stopped changing. Sometimes that was no pattern at all . . .

I scrounged some water damaged 1/4" MDF from a cabinet shop. Cutting around the damaged areas didn't make sense for a business but, I have the time.

I got some strips that I can use out of one of the boards.

I use part of the profile of a beading bit to crown the tops of the strips.

I use a v-groove bit to groove some parts and put points on others.

This makes things go together like so.





I take it all apart and slap on some shellac.

I sand the finished strips to 400. This keeps dirt from gathering and makes wiping them off (if I ever do) easier. Once sanded I put the puzzle back together.

And load it up.

Its all the same stuff but now better organized and easier to get to. Next time I am watching paint dry I will do another drawer.

I am working on a painted project for the guest bath; some decorative shelves to hold nic-nacs.

This gives me some intervals of dead time. The router and saw were still setup from the first set of drawer dividers so I did up another drawer. Years ago I made up a router table sled for a sliding dovetail project. It continues to serve . . .

Ta-da
