The 13 drawers of this band-saw box rotate rather than open outward. Objects for safekeeping are placed into the large, central drawer through a hole in the bottom of the box. Since the arrows on the front of each drawer point toward the drawer’s open side, objects may be moved from one drawer to another by first lining up the arrows on the two drawers and then rotating the entire box so that the objects fall from the first drawer to the second.
The Band Saw Safe is great for storing all those loose gemstones you’ve got lying around.

That’s a cute idea. I guess the intermediate drawers are left empty (or have to be emptied) so they don’t mix with the outer drawers when you want to get something out?
A’hah! but how do you keep someone from stealing your really cool safe?
The Oracle has brilliantly touched on the other use of the Band Saw Safe, which is as a snack storage box. Snacks are stored in increasing levels of unhealthiness as one moves from larger to smaller drawers. The healthy snacks in the large drawer such as carrots are easily accessed and unhealthy snacks like lead shot require that one first empty out all the healthier ones.
