I have been busy this summer building a cabinet to store pen kits. I wanted it mimic a library card catalog. It's my first major project without a lot of help from my dad and I'm really happy with how it turned out! Also the only screws I used were for the pulls. Otherwise it's all dowels, inlay, and glue

Very nice project !!!

However, you brought back old nightmares of looking through all the card catalogs to find supporting materials for writing a paper lol...

Really Really nice! By my calculations, you have 40 drawers, each with a mid-drawer divider to make two compartments per drawer, so maybe 80 compartments, x roughly 10 kits per compartment, this will hold roughly 800 kits. WOW. Well done! It must have taken a tremendous amount of patience.

Every time I did anything with those drawers I would wonder why I thought I needed 40 😂😂. But it was worth it in the end
