That’s an interesting idea, I like it! I hope I remember this if I ever have to make another one!

No glue or screws, I just made cuts about halfway down on each piece where they intersect so that they slot into each other. Since the cuts were imprecise, I used a chisel to take off material until it fit nicely.

There are the 5 pieces going vertically, slotting into the one horizontal one each at the top and bottom. It’s easiest if you clamp all the identical pieces together when you make the cuts and fine adjustments, that way you don’t have to cut every piece individually. :)

Thanks! :)

Yes, it’s very gratifying!

It is intentionally facing different directions since it’s a different type of cutlery! But I can see how it might bother you ;)

It’s great, seriously. We have been dealing with a chaotic drawer for a year, I bought the wooden strip a year ago too but never had the time and energy to actually make this 🙈

Being able to make it perfectly fit our cutlery and drawer is just the cherry on top. 😌
