Specific Thing Holder #4

Published: 2025-05-30

I did a thing! It holds stuff!

The "prototype"

I've been using this "prototype" in my kitchen drawer for more than a year. Despite looking dumb, it works well.

The Plans:

The build:

Them dove tails, tho.

Finished with tung oil.

The Mistakes:

I glued everything together and then remembered that boxes generally have bottoms. So, I had to chisel out a rabbit with everything assembled.

This took a long time.

More Mistakes

I spent 30 minutes carefully spacing and gluing each cork divider into the box before remembering that there was a reason the prototype only had cork on one side. Knives need space for their handles.

I used hot glue to hold the dividers, so undoing this was luckily just a few minutes with a blow dryer.

Spacer installed. Dividers re-glued. And...

It's now in its home

It's garbage, but it's my garbage! I built this garbage with my own two hands!
