DRAWERS
They are good for storing a variety of things of varying sizes *IF*
they are partitioned. Preferably by moveable partitions; the
partitions won't get moved much but they allow someone to set up the
drawer initially.

I never thought of that, but I really like it. How do the partitions
work? What keeps them in place?

The easiest way I know is to cut "V" grooves in the sides or the back and
another piece to insert behind the drawer front. A 3/16" dado blade tilted
to 45 degrees will make a nice "V" groove which will accept a 1/4" partition
that has had the ends cut in a matching "V".

I like it, and it won't weaken the drawer sides (1/2") as it is not a
U. I've got some wide drawers so the front to back is a nice idea. If I
make the dividers out of 1/2", I should be able to cut V's in them also..

Thanks,
Jeff
