Well organized scraps…

Serge, I really like your design. I have a lot of problems with shorts, so may use your idea if you don’t mind.

Yet another great idea from you : ) Thank you !

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Excellent idea!

The wonders of group
thinking yield a wealth of
increasingly better ideas…

Nice job!

Love your ideas, and just took a hours travel on your homepage.
Thank you for all your wonderful ideas, and designs.

Great idea, I wish that I would have thought of that before I built my cut off bin. Maybe I wouldn’t have had to if you posted this about a week before you did. Just kidding, I’ll just have to go this route when i build my next bin. Thanks for the post.

-- Cheers and God Bless

serge,

Don’t suppose you have a great design for sheet goods…I love this, printed it out and will begin work on it soon.

thx, Dick

Serge,

On your Web site, it says the dividers are 23 1/4” long. But it also says that you place the end pieces inside the side pieces, which would make the inside dimension 24” wide. If you have 3/8” deep grooves, I think the dividers must be 24 3/4” long instead. Or did I misunderstand something?

It is easy to figure out, but you are missing the dimensions of the fixed divider, which should be 4” x 24”.

It is a good design, and I will make one similar to it. Mercí!

Hi Mark. Thanks for you input.

I checked all mentioned measurements and they are:
Removable dividers are 23 1/4”
Central fix divider is 22 3/4”
Outside width is 24”
Grooves are 3/8” deep.

Let me check my website and make corrections, if applicable.

Best,

Serge

Ah, I see, the OUTSIDE width is 24”. I thought it was the INSIDE width, because of this statement:

“Note that the 18”-high front and 30”-high back fit inside the box”.

I figured if the front and back were 24” wide (as shown in your cutting diagram), and they were inside the box, that the inside measurement was 24”. But after that statement, it also says

“it is better to cut and fit these after the sides and bottom have been assembled.”

So I am guessing that you cut them down from 24” wide to fit inside, since you say you assembled the sides and bottom first. Looking closely at one of your photographs, it is clear to me now that you did have the ends inside the sides.

If the outside width is 24”, and the end pieces go outside, or are cut to fit inside, then your dimensions are correct.

For mine, I would like to have an INSIDE width of 24”. I think it could be done with the same parts as in your sheet cutting diagram, by simply joining the ends to the bottom first and then attaching the longer sides.
