Flardware OtganizerEuen though it has lots of handy drawers, this sturdy pine shop storage center isIeasy to build, thanks to some mass prodwction techniques and interchangeable parts.MATERIATS LISTn a recent trip to the hardwarestore, it took less thana minute to locate a bolt Ineeded.This impressed me since I djust wasted the previous hour in nryshop, digging through boxes andcans of assorted fasteners searchingfor the same size bolt.Thedifference was organtza'tion. A rack with rows and rows ofsmall drawers held the store'.s entireinventory of fasteners, yet the boltwas easy to find because each drawerwas clearly labeled. I decided asmaller version of this hardwarestorage rack was just what I neededto bring sorne order to my shop.If you look at the completedproject, you'll notice that four of thel6 drawers are wider.This gives younrore room to store commonly useditenrs you buy in bulk, like drywallscrews. Other than width, however,the drawers are all identical sobuilding them is easy. It's simply anlatter of mass producing parts.CTTTTING DIAGRAMLUMBER:A (2) Ends 310" v7r1o" '1 12t1r"B (3) Shelves 314"x61/2"x321/4"C (2) Rails 310" x23f a" x32rf r" LxB 1s1o" x71/q"l - 8' ffil Common PineD (1) Back Panel (hdbd) ya" x8" x32yq"E (1) Dividers (hdbd) y4" x35/s" x6r/2"F (8) Lg.
