I love how simple this is. We also have a jumbled cord drawer and I couldn't think of how to organize them and still be accessible. This is great! Thank you!
Pretty solid idea especially with the notches so you can slide the dividers how you want them. Great video to show if you can’t find exactly what you need then you can probably make it for cheap and fit your exact needs. One tip I would add is get some colored electric tape or cable labels and make it so you know what colors go to what cables. Red is usbc/usbc Blue is UsbA /usbc and so fourth
Wow this was awesome. My husband and I are electronics nerds. We've always keep our cables and accessories since the 80s. He has one of those plastic three drawer cabinets and it was busting out with wires and cables. So I followed your tutorial and made him one of these. He loves it and it's so nice now. It was fun to make. Well now I need to do the same for my cabinets and all my flash drives, cables etc.
This video was the best one I have found yet on how to organize cords and chargers!!!! You gave me some great ideas, and I appreciate your humor!! My only request would be that you gave a little bit more detail on how you cut the dividers and measuring how much to cut and how much to leave, etc -- but I was definitely able to figure out by watching you, so again I just appreciate you making this video!! Thank you 😊
I am a camera man and you have no idea how many cables I have accumulated over the years! I've paid literally £100s of pounds and this is easily the best solution I seen. Genius
Great question. I did change the design after a while. The foam board was too thick for the size of the drawer and the amount of it I used. Took up too much space. Now I use the lids from small electronics boxes, like the size of iPhone boxes. I’m able to fit much more in the drawer while keeping things separated. If you don’t have enough small boxes, I’d look for sheets of thin craft foam.
Just a tip. next time cutting in notches if you cut 1/2 up on one and 1/2 on the intersecting pieces then both long strips and short strips will be stronger (and interlock so the divider intersections will be flush). At intersections one piece with grooves cut down (V) and on the other intersection, cut notches groves up (^) so they will slide together and the slot slots will meet in the middle giving you a stronger cross shelf piece and flush ends Good video though. I have a couple buns of many MANY cables so this tip (though great) will not work in my case. Thanks for the share though! (and yes. Women do have a lot of junk in their make-p and morning "put-me-together" drawers. Fascinating what they have to have).
This would be a more secure way if you know for certain the bin sizes you need ahead of time. Brian's way allows for sliding the dividers at any later time so you can adjust the bin sizes as your needs change. Good tip though.
Thankyou. Watching you has sparked an idea. I have 6 or so 20cm adaptor cables for small appliances and each I fold into loops with the plugs pointing down to reduce the amount of dust collecting inside the plugs ( I clean these with a shaved toothpick and a denture brush. Yucky ). So standing up they're about 5 mm thick and 45 mm wide and 80mm tall ..so I've adapted your idea into a small container 5cm X 10cm X 8cm you must leave room for the plugs not being flat as this makes it harder to get in and out easily. Thankyou for the inspiration. 🤔 PS feel free to make this your own video version I've got no problem with that. Remember plugs pointing down.. Kev
@@carolshand2037 it's 6x (not times) 15 mm this was just used a box of crackers and 5 pieces of cardboard 6cm wide and folded 1cm on each side to make each slot . Could be a bit bigger on the side folds though .
Nice idea. Nut fr cables I have 20 to 100 of each so this is too small a system. I must metal open wire shelving units on wheels and use the plastic lid containers from the dollar store plus containers from HomeSense and some from staples. to hold cables. Each box gets a label indicating a geographic location in my case 6E2 may apartment designator (I also have an office and a storage unit that get used for this too) then a cable type USB, RG7, C5E, C6- or C6E, and then a length 005,010,100, etc. I then log each box in a spreadsheet along with a shelf designator R1S02H03 Rack 1 shelf 2 horizontal position three. the box code a description of the box and a count of the cables. I also log if they have been accessed this year. If not they get moved to my storage unit. In total, I have over 480 boxes of cables with over 300 cables and another 200 accessories. I adapted this system from the last place where I worked where we had over 1000 different bins in the buildings and five rooms. At the end of the year, I remove cables from the boxes in the storage unit until I am down to two of each cable. One to use for myself and one to use with someone else or to give away.
What do I do when I have 10× that amount of cables and plugs and what nots my boyfriend loves to take things apart and put it back together plus he loves messing with a whole sort of different electronics, so I have a lot of the a duffle bag plus a rubber maid bin full but their always getting tangled and then their all over the place. I've tried tying them up but it always happens that the one he's always looking for is at the bottom so we either have to take them all out which takes forever because even though I've tyied them all up their still tangled then when he finds the one he wants he doesn't put them back but leaves them spilled all over the floor so then I'm stuck cleaning them up. I've done this so much I've threaten the next time I'm throwing them away. I know he loves what he does and I really don't want to throw them away but I'm about to if I can't fix this problem. Any solutions cause I am going to start throwing them away if I can't find a way to make this work it crazy. It's like the duffle bag and bin threw up all over the floor spaghetti dinner. I'm losing it 🤪. Please help 🙏.
Interesting!!! 👍🏻 Time consuming though. Makes me want to drink, cutting up all that styrofoam!!! 🍷 Maybe a case of wine and using the cardboard dividers would work easier…or some Amazon boxes….🤔
@@PBandJ8 White boxes from Apple. I also use other boxes from small electronics and eyeglasses. Didn’t make an updated video about it, but I did mention it here… ua-cam.com/video/_JMoLxdNaC4/v-deo.html at around the 4 minute mark.
@@BrianMorettiTV thanks so much for responding!!! YOURE AWESOME!!! I am watching and pausing. I just subscribed. 😎👍🏻I’m losing my mind with all the different names: power bricks, HDMI’s, USB’s, regular lightening adapters, mini lightening ports, etc. do I color code with labels both ends and label or use rubber bands or zip ties…going crazy!!! 🤪 I am deaf, dumb, blind AND blonde!!! 🤦🏼♀️ 🙄 Older definitely DOES NOT MAKE WIZER!!! And…I haven’t even had a drink yet!!! 😂 Cheers Brian!!! 🍻Thanks again!!!😎👍🏻
You’re very welcome. Thank you for the comments and sub. 🙏 One more tip I have is that if you’re overwhelmed, start with only the cables and charges you use on a regular basis first. Label or color code those. Then, as you use more, add them to the ones already organized. And when you’ve gotten a system that you like, organize all the rest. Hope that helps. Cheers.
U can literally do this with anything U put in draws, Great job 👍
aww thank you so much Brian what a GREAT idea my job for tomorrow
I love how simple this is. We also have a jumbled cord drawer and I couldn't think of how to organize them and still be accessible. This is great! Thank you!

I am always trying to figure out how better organize cables. Great Idea Brian. Thanks
Thank you. Glad the video was helpful.
This is actually amazing!
Thanks Brian! That’s a great hack! 👍🏻🙏🏻🤗
Nice and budget friendly idea. thanks
Nice solution. I literally have 100s of cables and chargers from years and years. Trying to decide what to do and this looks a good way
Thanks. I’m glad you found this helpful.
Awesome man... thanks for sharing!
Great idea. 🎉
Thanks!
Wow, great idea, many thanks

I hate cables so much! I wish everything was wireless, everything!!
Thanks for the tip :)
Awesome and frugal thank you!
Very clever. Thank you
Cool idea, thank you!!!
Awesome. Gonna definitely try.
This idea just saved me! I’ve been struggling to figure out an idea & You saved me!!! WONDERFUL TIPS BRO
I have been looking for a solution for forever and never found anything good. This is so helpful thank you!
THIS IS AMAZING THANK U
Foam board! I didn’t even consider it, thanks buddy!
That’s awesome! Thanks for the idea! 👍
Loved it. Thanks. I will try this at home.
Brian, what you modeled for me is not doing a "perfect" job on your cuts! This perfectionist thanks you so much!!
You’re very welcome. Glad I could help.
Thank you. Also I subbed before I watched because of the T.A.R.D.I.S
Cool thanks
This is better than my, "Get an even BIGGER box to throw it all in," method.

This is a great solution, one I had never thought of. Thank you!
Awesome idea. I have many drawers like this, so I will give this a go. Thanks!

It's wild how I have pretty much an identical assortment of things in my drawer to organize.

Thanks for the tip! Just what I was looking for!
Crafty! 🌈👍🏻
I will try this.
I won’t judge you Brian you are sound
Do you find after using it for a while that the design still worked for you? Or did you make a modification?
Great question. I did change the design after a while. The foam board was too thick for the size of the drawer and the amount of it I used. Took up too much space. Now I use the lids from small electronics boxes, like the size of iPhone boxes. I’m able to fit much more in the drawer while keeping things separated.

Do you have a picture of the way you organised them? Can’t quite picture the plugs pointing down arrangement. That would be much appreciated.
