Project Drawers
A project drawer is used to organize project supplies: drawing, painting, sculpture, fly tying, or whatever I tackle in the future. I can remove them and set them aside while working, then slide them back to their cubby holes when finished. Organized and neat, like I like it.
This is a small box, made from 1/2" inch birch plywood with an oak front.
Plywood on its way to being useful.
The cubby holes with their project drawers. They sit about 1/4 inch proud and will be easier to get out once Teresa picks out some hardware.
A drawer ready to serve. Note how the wood grain lines up when the drawers are closed. That's not an accident.
The bigger drawers in the middle could get heavy when loaded with big stuff. To remove them, sliding wood on wood wouldn't work. I added rollers on the back to help.
The rollers sit a fraction of an inch lower than the frame, and only on the back. Lift and remove from the cubby, and when it sits on the desk, there's no worry of it rolling off.
Next
I'll start the finish. A few coats of stain and poly and it'll be ready for the final touches.
