Well I am still in the process of setting up my new shop and found myself at a point where enough tools were unpacked to knock out a small test project. My mother in law wanted a 2 tier silverware organizer for the kitchen. I scrapped the crappy pressboard drawer box and built a new one out of $5 bundle of poplar from the rockler grab box. Slapped on the old drawer front and its done.
Got a chance to run the new sawstop cabinet saw… WOW… As well try my hand at the rigid planer and the dovetail jig. Never run wood through a planer or made dovetails before I must say there is something to be said for the systematic removal of wood chips from a board.
I cannot wait to try out the rest of the goodies sitting in boxes waiting to be assembled.

That is very well done and a new idea to me. Never thought about this solution with two drawers in one and had to set it on my “idea-list”.
Thank you very much for sharing!

That’s a fun place to be with boxes of goodies waiting to be assembled. :) Nice job on the drawer, I like the 2 tiers.

Never thought about it fully extending out the back. It’s been on the list of things to do. I already picked up the soft close slides.

It looks like you are all set to build you some boxes for your tools. Welcome to Lumberjocks.

I cant take credit for the idea, we bought cabinets from lowes and paid $250 for this option in one of the drawers… Wish I would have built my own!
Have your say...
