Popular Post gee-dub Posted November 14, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 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. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are really looking I will add that like a chamfer bit, a larger v-groove can do what a small one can . . . and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted November 15, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I recently made a couple sets of drawer dividers inspired by your previous post about these. Fairly quick but very rewarding! My wife says it’s one of her favorite things I’ve made. I bought this bit and it worked well for the project: Whiteside Router Bits 1506 V-Groove Bit with 90-Degree 1-Inch Cutting Diameter and 1/2-Inch Point Length https://a.co/d/4x4kERH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
