Toolbox drawer dividers

While shopping at Menards, saw those little bins that hang on a rack on the wall and thought I could use those.

I might have to take a drawer out and bring it to the store to size them up.

If you are going to go with plastic bins, I use these. Good assortment of sizes and made just for this.

Not sure I want to do an entire box with those (would get pretty expensive), and I don't think they are heavy enough for the larger drawers, but my machinist tools are in a box with a lot of thin drawers and I can see these working really well for that.

Several decades ago I made some cheap plywood dividers for my tool chest with intentions that it would be a temporary measure until I had time to "do it right". Well, those temporary dividers are still there and I guess they will remain until I'm gone. They have done the job just fine.

Nice.

How did you attach the cross pieces?

Are the sides grooved or just glue and screw?

The side and end pieces are dado'd and the dividers just slide into the dados. The small dividers in the socket drawer are just a tight slide-in fit. They should also be in dados, but probably never will be.

Those socket compartments are useful. Most socket organizers take up much more drawer space.
