Silverware drawer organizer

For the Home, Projects

Adjustable? Nah.

A word on things that are adjustable. I have learned over the years that anything I buy that is adjustable never gets adjusted after its initial setup. I have bookcases with adjustable shelves. I set the shelves to fit my books and never change them. I built adjustable shelves for my hutch in my workshop. Nope, I never change anything.

After careful consideration, I think the main reason to build anything adjustable is if you want to sell it. That makes sense: the buyer can customize it to his or her needs. But if I am making something for myself, I am going with fixed components and shelves. What’s more custom than that?

This is version 2.0 of my silverware organizer. It took me a while to use my old one before I figured out how to improve it. Having adjustable dividers was my biggest mistake on the beta version.
