Electronics Parts Storage
I needed a better way to store and find resistors, diodes etc.I had a drawer that was too shallow to use for most things but found it perfect for this project.
Summary
I used 3/4″ MDF for this and routed out the cavities for the parts with a 1/2″ round bit on a router table. The slots are every 1 inch on center and about 5/16″ deep. That leaves 1/2″ between the slots to put the labels for the contents of the slot. The slots are about 3″ long to accommodate 1/4 watt resistors and diodes.
