I LOVE seeing women doing "mans work"...consyruction, wood/metal work, etc. just as much as I LOVE seeing men doing "women's work"...cooking, baking, etc.
We're all talented in different ways and no one fits in any particular box or frame.
You do lovely work.
You have a new fan.
Thanks Maria. My husband is our family Chef. When we have people over for dinner and they thank him, he always spreads the thanks around by pointing out who made the salad or brought the dessert...and then I say, "I built the kitchen". That is my contribution to all of our meals. LOL
Awesome job. Using scraps. Making adjustments. Not everything exactly the way you want the first time. Looks good. On my dream list. 😊
I think I just fell in love. This organized drawer is my soul mate.
@Sandra Powell, GF, you need to do a lot more videos! I love to watch creators create! This is amazing! Especially as another woman you inspire me. I have no such talents, but i will be sending this to the hubby to help inspire him to do a cleanout of our large kitchen junk drawer! TFS "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy, Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope( & Mark)!
Wow, you are unbelievably creative and innovative!
I'm enjoying this series.
I know this is an old post and I understand your plight about needing or having a place for things. I am troubled with a problem of not enough storage and but when I do store a thing I forget where it was stored.
LOL I do that too sometimes!
Okay Sandra, you're making us feel guilty about our drawers being just a big pile of junk... :D I'm getting lots of great ideas from your organizer vid so please keep'em coming!
+Larry527az haha I've been wanting to tackle my shop for months so I'm loving spending this time in my shop ON my shop.
Not ok only did you do an amazing job but I think it's awesome to see more women working in the shop. It just sucks that your tools are better then mine. lol
I'm actually going to use this organizer in some of my drawers. Saves me the problem of trying to design one. Great job, keep it up!
Rick, Athens Tx
It took me a long time to acquire these tools.
Well, it was sure looking like a lot of fuss to go to but by the end, it looked like a dream to have a place for every little thing...and for years to come.
I will emulate your design for my drawer organization. Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Thank you! I hope yours turns out well :)
Love that you love being organised :). It's made such a difference to me too since I started making specific places for each thing. Just finished a tool wall. now I'm inspired to tackle that big drawer I've got full of junk.
+Rob Robertson I have about a million other projects to build so everything in my house can have it's place! That'll take a few years. LOL
Hi Sandra, very good DIY!!!
You own a SawStop!!! Cool.. Nice project..
Excellent work !
Good job, I may get started on that soon. Separate my small drill bits, counter sink bits, T-25, phillips, square, etc...
Super nice! I'm obsessed with drawer organizers and just started a series on them. I need to make some adjustable ones! Great idea
Great design and well built project, Sandra.
As a senior I have built many drawers so here is some serior wisdom.
1. All screws come loose in normal use so if it moves use epoxy on the screws.
2. Nails (see screws)
3. When there is a metal option take it metal leg sets hold up better. But look for failure points metal will bend if you stress it. Reinforce any failure points.
5. Roll away tool boxes are great but they all come with cheap casters replace them and reinforce the bottom these bend & flex use 3/4 to 1" plywood minimum. This includes the real expensive ones
6. Reinforce anything that needs it before you put it in service, it so much easier to fix them when they are empty and before they get damaged.
7. Look at scrap wire racks, displays from retail stores some items are gems some are dogs.
8. Cheap kitchen cabinets make poor shop cabinets, see nails and screws.
9. Get a system to manage hardware, I like a diy sortimo system, but this should one of your first projects
10. Buying tool look at piece count the lower the cost per piece the better. Garage sales good, I find tools show up in the last two weeks of the month. Again the more you buy the more you save, bundle, buy bags, bulk pays, old power tools and hand tools are great deals look at under loved tools.
Hello Sandra just going through the inter-web thingy and was directed to your UA-cam channel and I have just watched this video, I must say that I really enjoyed watching it. Tell you something else I also noticed you are the best looking (beautiful) female who is in to woodworking.
nice project. done very well..
For tiny stuff you could use a bit of curved molding down in bottom to allow sweeping things up.
That's one of the best ideas I've heard. Nice one.
Nice job !
Great video i might try and do the same in my workshop draws but i think it will take me forever many thanks and very interesting
The draw devider You made is the Best idea. Will be using it for my draws 😉
Thanks
Nice job
wow, nice sandra
I like your comment about Functionality and I completely agree. In my workshop I find that if something has a dedicated home, I have a tendency to make sure it finds it way back to its home after I use it, otherwise it ends up wherever I lay it down. I love shop organization projects and so that is what I am focusing on right now in my shop and will be uploading some of those projects to my channel soon.
+Mike Kapotsy Can't wait to see your organization videos. Maybe I'll get some ideas!
Sandra Powell aka {Sawdust Girl} thanks , one is released. Another one in the works.
well done
Very OCD, but VERY AWESOME!
Pretty! Keep working! I need it! kkkk
Hey girl. I just found your videos in my feed. Thank goodness. You are amazing. Inspiring for sure. I am working on my own kitchen remodel all by myself. I inserted glass in my shaker style doors, porcelain tiled the entire kitchen. Switched out all drawers to full extension/soft close. It is still a work in progress. Tell me about your table saw? What brand? I like it
Great stuff keep it up! :)
This is the best drawer divider video I have seen, and I have been looking at what I thought was all of them. Somehow I missed yours. Will subscribe so I don't miss anything further. Nice job on the drawer.
Seriously, this is the best and easiest to follow tutorial on drawer dividers. I'll be making mine just like yours ;-)
Thanks!
Awesome. Thanks!
Simple DIYr
Agreed!
That looks very useful - I also like to use scraps and not being too nerdy about precision in shop projects. Since my shop time is often limited as a hobbyist, some things have to get finished quickly in order to get finished at all. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice! Looks much better than before. I need to do this on every drawer in my house.
+CMR Woodworks | Chris McDowell Me too. Every drawer in my shop anyway.
Thanks.
Yah, workshop - functional and thats it.
Nice
good... really...
Just found your channel, thanks to Shop Nation, just subscribed, you have great content!
Omg.... 😍😍😍 I loveee this. You did an amazing job! I need these for my vanity! I bet you could make millions is you put these babies on the market!!
A verry skillfull men this is :-D
Great idea on your junk drawer. I think I made you use your idea in a future drawer that I have.
Hi there . I would love to do this but don’t have the machinery. Is there an easier way to make binning as its super expensive to buy.
Great video, Will be following your advice to design my own for the endless number of junk drawers I have in my shop. Thanks for sharing
I waste sooo much time looking for tools. So I’m in the process of making a heavy duty drawer cabinet. This idea will be going into my top drawers to accommodate the small stuff.
Nice build, well made too thanks for posting from Garry in the UK
Liked and subbed.
How many tape measures did a Sandra need if a Sandra did need a tape measure lol Love the drawer, tfs!
+Ms Teresa K bwahaha
Sandra can measure here , Sandra can measure there...Sandra can measure everywhere . She can measure length of rope , she can measure depth of boat , she would not, could not , measure width of goat ..dont get Sandra started on red fish blue fish .......ha
Most people don't know what half of the stuff in their junk drawer is. lol. You are not alone.
keep up the good work mama! I'm starting to do little woodwork projects and watching your videos makes things a lot easier! lol
Stumbled across you tonight Sandra and everything you've built is great. I'm about to kit out my studio and will incorporate so much of this. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skills! :)
Looks just like mine, I always overthink everything. I ended up with either medium or large space areas, no smaller than say three tape measures, then if I did need some ing smaller , used 3d printed mini lift out trays. I find my draws always end up full of dust and the trays are easier to keep clean
Great project! I could definitely use a little more organization, lol! Nice job on the video!
will revist this video! need for my shop im trying to set up now. thanks for sharing.
Awesome job! Making it on the fly👍
I noticed you're not using a dado stack to cut your dadoes. Are you using a blade with flat teeth on your table saw or a combo blade for ripping and smooth cuts? I'm learning to do dadoes with my router and straight bit, but it's slow going at times. :p
I was thinking 2 layers of pegboard or a gap, then wood dividers with pins coming out the bottom. This looks better, tablesaw would be nice
Everybody ends up with a junk drawer, so I'm guessing one of the compartments is the junk spot? Nice build.
I like it but i'd have it disorganised within a week lol
Nice, and I too love to use scrap wood for my in-shop stuff.
Sandra, very interesting your organizer of drawer.
Congrats.

I was looking for this idea for my nuts and bolts and screws Thabk you...
Really like this. I am not organized naturally, but I force myself to be that way because I HATE wasting time looking for that one thing I need but can't find. Very nice project and it looks very handy!
+Michael M (Zenvar) Dito on hating the time wasted looking for something I need.
Excellent, I've just stumpled upon your channel, I like your way of organising drawer. Then I was a child, I made similar system for the drawers of my desk, only using a thin plywood and a cardboard (because at the time I had very few tools, all of them were hand tools).
Also I have to say that I like then women doing woodworking. I believe that there is no such thing as men or women-only crafts, like «knitting for women and woodworking for men». Such women as you, Darbin Orvar and so on are helping to destroy theese stereotypes. I'm russian and it's a pity that in russian youtube (I mean the channels on youtube runned by russian-speaking users) there are no women who doing woodworking.
I wish you good luck and sorry for my english, I can easily read english and understand spoken english, but have not enough opportunites for training my speaking and writing skills.
Dang! Your skills for writing English look pretty awesome to me. Better than some English speaking people write. :-) Thanks so much!
Very clean and functional, nicely done Sandra.
Hi Sandra, my name is Michel a From de Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
You are very organized !
Really enjoyed
Congratulations!
I love watching what you do. I want to learn and do the projects that you do.
I agree with functional .I've been going crazy trying to arrange my garage to be functional. It's not that big so k oss can easily happen. Great keep them coming.
Nice. I plan to build a similar draw, I'll be doing your design.
The only thing I would've added to you drawers would be labels as to what size goes where.
hi..I made a chair watching your video. Thank you for being an inspiration to me.
Very nice... awesome!!!I wanna do one for me, just like that.
+Luis Moreira Be right there! ha. ;-)
Great work Sandra. very inspiring for anyone that needs to get organized. .
Very modular. I dig it!
I feel the same way .Functional over perfect in the shop. Looks great I'm still going through organization in my garage due to the tight space but it will get there . Or close to it lol
I want to marry you! Thanks for the great vids
how can I make those channels with only circular saw...?
Very nice work!
But I realize, that you have serval tiny stuff such as pencils, washers, bolts, drills etc. in your drawer. Therefor use another suggestion from me: a flat drawer in a high drawer. The dividers on the left and right only half or 2/3 the hight. This will be the runningsurface für the inner drawer. The inner drawer ist aprox. 1/3 of the hight of the dividers and half the depth of the high drawer.
Have a look in your other drawers: you store more air than hardware in there. The reason: the drawers are usually too high (because drawers are expensive). But flat drawers (1 to 1 1/2 inches) are extremely useful for all the tiny stuff.
I did a quick search in the 185 comments and didn't see any details on your dado stack. Which one are you using? Happy with it? I know the Sawstop requires an 8" stack to work with the dado brake mechanism but would love to know which one you like. Thanks!
Good question. I'll have to look when I get out to the shop today.
Courageous wood's fairy.
You can save yourself a little effort and time on your next one by using the half lap joints on the entire drawer. Make some 1", 2", 3", etc... high sections and cut them to length as necessary. Nice job.
Well bloody done Sandra, Looks great and will be definately doing the same to my draws, SOOOOO much easier when organized like you have, Thanks for the upload, Cheers Teddy
I think some of them dont fit because of the flex in the wood.
Ok you are hired, come organize my whole shop hahahaha, love ya videos, Rick
+kozmo239 Awesome! I'll be there shortly! ;-D
With all them tape measures she is obviously obsessed with the size of things. Or, maybe she just takes to heart the old carpenters axiom 'measure twice, cut once'. Nice draws girl. :--)
Lots of measures for lots of things.
Really good and easy to follow you could make a 1/2 or 1/3rd width tray to fit in that could slide from back to front or side to side so you could get to things underneath and this would give you more storage space,
Rich.
Excellent video! I need to add dividers to my metal tool box/cabinet drawers. So, I'm going to use the stick-on perimeter dividers sold by Rockler and then customize it further with wood dividers like you did here. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Very well done! I plan to use your ideas, but maybe space some of the side slots at 2-1/2, 3, and 3-1/2" for more versatility (I saw that some of your common items didn't quite fit). I will cut the sides from one piece so I don't get confused by the spacing changes.
Wow!! That is way to organized for me. I wouldn't know how to act. Great job. Thanks for sharing
+John Reed Some people prefer organized chaos. LOL
+Sandra Powell aka {Sawdust Girl} Don't get me wrong, I like being organized. Much easier to find things. I am not ambitious enough to get too picky. As long as I get related items in the same area, I'm good. Wish I could be more like you, but I just don't have it in me. Your stuff always turns out great and is very functional. Thanks for sharing. Take care
Great job. One thing though, was the chaulk actually needed? It's just a spacer and with the four sides it wasn't going anyway.
It was rickety which is why I added caulk to hold it securely - but not permanently.
Wow! I am impressed by your ingenuity, attention to details, and to your craftsmanship. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your design with the DIY community, Ciao, L
Ciao Sandra... pazienza certosina.. ma gran bel lavoro.. 👍😀
Sandra, huge fan of your work! love all of your terrific storage ideas, but my favorite was the video where you were trying to make the corner blind cabinet. It may not have worked out in the end, but it really showcased your genius and tenacity. Anyway, I ran across this other drawer organization video today I think you might like. He cut a hold in the back of the drawer so he could slide the top tray all the way back when the drawer is open. Seems like something you might like! ua-cam.com/video/SnMqvHC05YE/v-deo.html
I have been trying to figure out how to organize all my odds and ends. Without building a jig that will more than likely take me 3 weeks to build lol. This and your driver bit videos are just awesome. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Please keep up the good work...
Greetings from Atllantic Canada!
Seriously, a great build!
Being real-world and practical can sometimes be lost on us amateurs. No two work spaces are ever alike... even the same bench on different days!
Cheers!
I really liked your adjustable storage organizer. For the small compartments you could make a little box without a lid and a nail coming up from the bottom. Use the nail as a way to pull the box out of the compartment, then put it back when you are finished.
most people have a drawer that's basically a black hole where stuff goes to hide I like the fact the drawer can change shape to accommodate new things plus you open the drawer and you can see the tape or pen or countersink excellent
