Nothing too fancy and not super precise, basically cut a strip of wood to size with a hand saw and made notches for the pieces to fit together using the same hand saw and a chisel. :)

    Looks good, and I never would have thought to have my cutlery 69 but now I see the brilliance of it if the spacing works

      Ehhhhh, I wouldn’t want hands brushing the part of the cutlery that actually touches food every time someone grabs a fork or something. Mine will stay in a loving snuggle fuck position, thank 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. 😌

    I love that everyone likes the woodworking, but most people are also judging the types, orientation, and order of the cutlery.

      It’s some chaotic neutral shit, just enough to make the Paladin sweat and the Cleric drink a little harder

    All your cutlery should face the same way. It’s hurting my brain… Other than that good work 😄

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

    Ok so teaspoons are a thing, of course, and they’re found in every household, but I’ve never seen… teaforks? before. 🤣

      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. :)

    Nice work … neat and simple … the best kind of carpentry and woodworking.

    But this just gave me an idea because of how you are arranging the cutlery … spoons / forks one way … then another stack facing the other way to use up all the available space.

    Why not design dividers on a slight angle like …

    | \ / \ / \ / \ / |

    … then you could space the dividers a bit closer for each type of cutlery and leave room to keep them all divided … and of course leave one or two rows for regular knives that don’t need an angled division

    Well done, might be a small job to some but nice to be able to put your hands to create something you can use.

    🙂👍
