Cuts for OPTIONAL adjustable drawer dividers:

2 pc 1 1/8” lattice or screen bead moulding

Note: Use the screen bead if you want more than 1 divider per drawer, shorter height will make it easier to reach in between
Cutting Instructions:
Used my miter saw for the entire build. I used left over 1/4" plywood so I was even able to cut that with the miter saw.
General Instructions
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!

Finishing Instructions
Preparation Instructions:
Fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed. When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth.
It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
Finish Used:
For this one I used a sample size of Ace paint in Territorial tan, 2 coats, sanded between coats. The stained parts are done in Minwax Wood-Sheen, in Plantation Walnut, with a few drops of black mixed in to darken the color. Added 2 coats of water base poly to the stained parts.
May I Suggest a Finish?

The measurements are off for the sides perpendicular to top and bottom. If you top and bottom are 91/4 and shelf is 71/4 and the wood is 3/4 inch it will only work if you bring the sides in 1/4 instead of 1/2. Right?

Jewelry box plan reply
Hi Don, can you tell me where you are seeing 9 1/4"? I'm seeing 9 3/4" as the measurement in the cut list, plan, and diagram for the top & bottom, which allows for a 1/2" overhang on each side. thanks, Joanne
