Thanks for the video and how to make these!

Don't want to be that guy, but a word of caution about using a fence and a miter slide at the same time can cause kick back. If you add a short piece of material at the beginning of the fence you can align your pieces, but when you advance the miter slide you will have a gap between the fence and your work piece. It's safer that way. Just don't want you to get hurt. Kick backs are uncomfortable, ask me how I know. Great organizer trick. Thanks for sharing.

What is the cost ?

[@bigg2904]

You need a much better microphone dude. Also a camera you can focus.

[@earnmoreskimore3489]

I am trying to make the same dividers. I was wondering if you could explain making the jig please. Nice job,

[@alexgade4512]

I only have hand woodworking tools but i'll give it a go! We have a circular saw but it's a bit too intimidating for me to use since it'd be my first time using one, so I'd play it safe hahaha.

[@tomiossi8092]

Alex, don’t let power tools intimidate you. Start with easy cuts and progress. You tube helpful.

[@jakesiemiarowski2942]

great idea for the indexing! id suggest setting the fence up with a stop block that stops shy of the blade- you probably aren’t gonna cause a kickback with that cut, but best practices and all that. definitely stealing the indexing idea though! finally getting comfortable with my table saw and it’s been a massive gain for me

[@markkitaoka8783]

Nice work thanks. I'll be doing this. Just bought an old library Dewey Decimal card cabinet and need to hold parts. This will work for that.

[@brianford9522]

Great build! The simplicity is brilliant! This adjustable design is just like the Akro-Mils "Akro-Grid Dividable Plastic Storage Boxes". I can tell you I priced out enough boxes to fill two large 24" deep Husky toolboxes and it was over $600 in containers! I think I'll save $570 and spend a day doing what you did!

[@starrystarrynight9822]

Well made video!! Thanks for putting it out there, getting straight to the point and demonstrating everything thoroughly.

[@felixf5211]

I've watched a lot of videos with drawer organization hoping to pick up some ideas for my drills and taps. I have quite a few. Everything I've seen was highly inefficient. Looked nice and would likely work for someone who has an index and maybe a few stray drills, but not for anything serious. Your setup, however, is a different story. I like it a lot. Versatile, a good amount of space. Just one problem; I'm not a woodworker. Back to square-1.

[@maxtamcpherson8869]

hi what is the thickness of the saw blade your using ?

[@rogerk7194]

Very slick jig for repetition. All my drawers are dying for cool dividers like these. Thnx for your time

[@normanr143]

Amazing wish I was able to accomplish something like that in my garage it would look a lot better

[@dennis7511]

You can if you believe in yourself.

[@heidimcchristian719]

Can I make this without a table saw? I only have hand tools.

[@shiamybiz4160]

I've been looking all over the place for these, the internet, Menards, and Home Depot. If only I had a jig saw! Do you know where I can find these in different sizes pre-made? I have a bathroom vanity with drawers that came with these dividers and some are missing.

[@shiamybiz4160]

If not do you make and sell them?

[@thebman42]

Nice. Simple and easy. The jig is great!

[@georgettemcclymonds2048]

Looks great. Could be applied to lots of drawers. Now I know what the groves in my table saw are used for, slides. Your very tallented.

[@bryanjarboe8920]

I’ve been looking for a video on making a jib to cut this type of divider for over an hour and am so glad I found your video! Thank you!!!

[@ogsan1296]

Awesome organization. I love that.Great job. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@brose7956]

What if you used 1/8” thick aluminum with 1/8” wide table saw blade, metal version for toolboxes….

[@ZurickDesigns]

Awesome video! Make more please!! ☺️

[@lpaltageek]

Please don't laugh. I am eighty plus and new to laser cutting. I have created a divider box template. When I slip one notch over the other it doesn't push down to bottom. Are your notches exactly the same width? Oh, I am afraid to use table saw, okay with chop saw and band saw.

[@angler3839]

Awesome stuff.... Looking for ideas to display artifacts, arrowheads etc. I think this technique would be perfect. Can you clarify the name of the original type of board that you bought?

[@jorger5615]

What if you cut a groove on the sides front and back so when your installing the dividers which would need to be a little longer they would drop down in the grooves and won’t fall over and wouldn’t need to use hot glue I’m just wondering that work station is very nice and I like that remote switch on your belt loop for the saw

[@ladykenja2700]

- Very good video; simple, concise, useful info. Thanx for sharing.

[@markk4015]

One more question, Jim. Any tips on labeling? And, yes, I'm anal enough to want to get the labeling issue right. Thanks again. Mark

[@_Lazare]

Nice

[@markk4015]

Thank you for posting, great job. One question, do you think it would be disadvantageous to use 1/4" plywood instead of MDF? I hate MDF! Thanks again. Mark

[@jimglowacki9724]

There should be no reason you couldn't use plywood. Just make sure you set your index jig pin to the right size. Should not be a problem at all!

[@markk4015]

Amazing video , quick and to the point but packed with detail. Thank you!

[@gisellaracuente875]

:( Great video but too many equipment that you dont have at home.

This goddamn music... it could have been great.

[@nikinoodle2871]

That’s awesome! :) what a clever idea

[@rogue277]

Dang, is that the WEN 4227 you have there behind you

[@himanipatel5242]

What type blade do I need to use to make these notches?

[@duffleaver6108]

Nice and simple! Good job

[@atlantida8769]

Ideja dobra, tutorijal uzasan. 2 minuta pricas, a i u ostatku videa ne zatvaras usta.

[@mayraalvarez2996]

You should sell these 😊

[@normanr143]

Nice 👌

[@amgleft]

Looks great. I've got a couple questions though: Can you show us how you made the jig? Like how the mdf guide piece is attached? And also, do you have to have a table saw blade that matches the thickness of the divider pieces? Thanks.

[@Iughiughp]

Simple and quite efficient!

[@bobbydelaura]

hello do you have a video on how you made you divider jig

[@jcepri]

Music is very disttacting

Yeah, but can it serve coffee?

[@acelalacelal3250]

Hello , do you use a dado blade ?

[@designedandrefined5374]

Yes, it was set to 1/4 inch to match the thickness of the stock.

[@justmydeals]

Loud music... no no. Soft speaking narrator... no no. Amazing organizer... yes, yes.

[@jopperdepopper]

Rout grooves in the drawer sides, much easier to set up and change the dividers..

[@pplemens2]

What wood did you use for the dividers?

[@dataroman8111]

What an annoying music background... It is difficult to follow... Blee

[@willemkruger4564]

The music prevented me from watching the complete video...rethink wether one needs to listen to distracting and annoying music...

[@robertw.1499]

You need to get a microphone. Your voice is very quiet so have to turn up the volume, then comes THE MUSIC!!!! Loud, very loud. Love the drawer divider idea 👍

[@joshp2166]

Really poorly done
