Hi all - I just made a silverware try for some cabinets I built earlier this year and thought I'd post some photos.
The first photo shows the whole project. Very simple construction: butt joints and glue.
The tray's bottom is 1/4" tempered hardboard; the perimeter is 1/2" MDF; the divider 3/4" MDF. All edges recieved a 3/16" roundover bit.
I drilled out the front of the tray to allow it to clear the drawer knobs' screws and sit flush.
I used the flocking kit from Lee Valley - worked like a champ - but - take their advice and do your project inside a box. This stuff is LIGHT and flies everywhere!
The divider has 48 kerfs on 12.5mm centres .210" wide - each kerf represents 3-5 passes over the TS blade. Talk about slow going...
The next two photos show the tray loaded and in the drawer. I originally wanted to French fit the silverware, but thank heavens there wasn't enough room in the drawer... this was repetitive enough for my tastes!
Thanks for looking. Howard
