Project Information
Friend of mine that is a Doctor have discussed color as a memory aid over last year or so. Have been using color as memory aid in shop for quite some time but usually inside a drawer. So decided this time to give the actual drawer face a different color and see what happens. The cabinet itself was made 27 years ago. Not the best of designs but it has not fallen apart, and is in good shape. What I needed was for some drawers to be modified or in some cases removed and several new smaller drawers installed to better organize my "stuff".
We shall begin with proper supervision. This is always important.
To better store all my various PVC fittings I made 4 drawers, and did layouts for each one, and yes I put poly finish on all of it.
One of my big peeves was locating the right blade for my reciprocating saws. So I put on my thinking cap and came up with this solution. Seems to work well and they are organized.
Once done I painted the drawer fronts in what my mind sees as organized by color. Then added tape and used a marker to label them. Big difference in organization and I did upgrade several drawers to ball bearing slides as I had some left over from other projects. Finished off the entire project by taking steel workbench above the cabinet and giving it a proper paint job, legs and all. Probably the last time we will see the bench empty.
