I made these from 1/4” tongue and groove stuff from the big box store. After planing off the tongues and grooves and ripping them to width, then I dovetailed the corners and nailed on the bottoms. The dividers are just dropped in, so they can be reconfigured as needed. These can be stacked on a shelf or dropped in a drawer. They are finished with pecan stain and shellac.

Questions:
What is the groove on the dividers for?
How were the slots in the dividers cut?
Like this project. Should be very handy.

The tongue and groove boards have grooves cut into the back of the boards, I presume to make it adhere better if you glue them to the wall for wainscoting. So there are a few grooves here and there, but they aren’t used for anything.
I primarily used hand tools so I started cutting them with a small hand saw, but switched to a very small Japanese saw with fine teeth, which made the cuts very easy with not much tear out.
