You're welcome! BTW there's a few more organizer videos on Next Level Carpentry that use those square fence posts like this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6ymz6qpc9rQgLA.html
"Explosion in a toothpick factory." Quite the funny visual!
Caulking was a trade in itself at one time. Invisible joints are the goal for fine finishing
Making something out of (almost) nothing by using tool number one, your brain, and what you have scattered about. That is beauty.
I’m about to build drawers for my workshop to tame the madness and this is a perfect organization system at that perfect time. Thanks!

You're sure welcome Justin. FWIW organizers I made for this video and others are working out great and are more than worth the time I spent making them and getting organized...
This guy is soooo good. I’ve been into woodworking videos on KZread for years but only ran into him yesterday. Addicted now.

Impressive. Organization is the same as strategy. Strategy is the planning we use to help us play the game of life. This sure gave me some inspiration.
The vinyl fence posts, cut on your table saw into longitudinal halves, then cut on your miter saw to drawer lengths is genius and everybody can do this. Thanks.
I really appreciate those who find ways to use existing materials to make unrelated things work better. Great idea!
After 25yrs as an Industrial Engineer this idea ranks in the top 10. Kudos. Be well.
Glad to see you're not a purist when it comes to materials for drawer dividers. I recently salvaged a discarded metal tool chest, and after I lugged it home and did some clean-up, I remembered this video. A quick trip to a local vinyl fence supplier netted me a big pile of scrap pieces; now all I need is a bit of glue and a lot of elbow grease! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Very cool Carl! Glad to hear you were able to find scrap from a fence company because sadly this whole concept can be cost prohibitive if the only option is to buy new materials and then just cut it up into small pieces. Since you got the material for free you should be able to justify getting some of that special vinyl adhesive because although it's a little bit pricey it really does do a great job. Good luck with your project and make sure to check out other videos on Next Level carpentry where I make portable organizers Etc out of that same material... Best, Matt

@@NextLevelCarpentry Matt: Funny thing is, the guy at the fence supply place who actually gave me the scraps told me that someone else had recently been there with the same idea... Another Next Level Carpentry viewer? Per your suggestion: Since the FREE tool chest is probably worth a few hundred bucks, and the vinyl scraps were also FREE, I guess I can afford to spend lavishly on a bit of vinyl glue!

Great idea and well presented. Thank you!
OUTSTANDING.
Absolutely love this method! And the humor!

Best drawer organising system I have seen
Your video are always worth watching no matter how long or short they are. Thanks
That file drawer is a thing of beauty, as was the dad joke that went with it!
I would love to have great big tool boxes. When I hit the lottery I might get some.
By far the most efficient, cheapest and smartest way. Thank you so much
In light of your self-proclaimed OCD, I’m surprised your tool drawers were ever messy! They look fabulous with the dividers. My OCD is very happy!
This is by far the fastest, easiest and therefor most likely the best drawganizing I've ever seen. Thanks man!
Hand never seen these vinyl fencepost here in Australia... Maybe I just haven't looked. But does give me the idea to use PVC down pipes.
The vinyl part material is a novel idea. I inherited my father-in-law's rolling tool cabinet, and is like to add this kind of organization. Thank you for sharing, and God bless you.
Motivating me to get busy organizing my shop - I like your ideas a lot. Thanks, Matt
Matt I must say you had my Undivided Attention on this project! I now need to source off cuts of fence post! I was thinking that Abe most likely was proficient at ax sharpening for that era! I had to laugh at your advice to him! Skip the theater!

Glad to hear it TFJD... I'm glad it held your attention... I tried to edit it down 'tight' to make it more appealing to a wide range of viewers . I've got one more Abe joke that I couldn't figure out how to weave into the dialog. I sometimes say to people after a drastic/disturbing event of some sort; "Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?" Usually good to ease tension in an uncomfortable situation.... Best, Matt
You sir.. are definitely "next level ".. thank you for your time on producing these videos & sharing your ideas!
Good to see you still going strong in these trying times Matt. Always a trick up your sleeve to make things a little better and more efficient. 👍
Very creative use of the vinyl fencing scraps! Inspiring and motivating to get my drawerganization underway. I've always wondered how you organized your drawers, now we know - thanks Matt!
I can see how abe was an inspiration so hard to feel like your spending time wisely looks great
I appreciate you showing us the various drawers to take those ideas into our own shop.

Using the vinyl fencing is an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing!
Matt - Thanks for another great video, with some good ideas on organizing things in the shop. And I learned a new word "drawganizer." I love it!! Blessings to you and your family. I'll be waiting for your next submission.
As always, a very useful yet rather super-efficient way to organize any shop or Kitchen for that matter. What I like about this is the universality of adapting to both the available space and the items to be organized. This is especially great for drawer space if all heights
Great concept and execution! Thanks for sharing!
So organized! 😍😍 Your door came out beautifully too!
I enjoy your clear explanations and witty sayings. Great way to make dividers for your drawers. I think I’ll use this idea for my shop drawers if I can find the fence parts where I am.
Besides, I have watched other perfectionist videos of yourself this one finally convinced me of having a proper table saw and the ease it adds to workshop. Thank you!
Using fence material like that is brilliant. It's timely for me since I'm reorganizing my toolbox and worktable drawers. Thanks.
Man KZread has been spotting me this video for years, I never seen it because I use foam to organize, and I think you use hardware trays to organize but now I seen it I regret haven't seen it before... Great video, great idea... ;)
This was a great video! I would of never thought to use that material for this purpose. I'm going to take your expert guidance and use this technique in my shop and even the crafting drawers the mrs has. Thanks!
I love how you show the different ways to modify the trays for inteference
Every time I watch one of your videos, I get high quality tips and ideas, stuff I can go out and do now. If I wasn't so busy (and tired) I would be out buying PVC fence post...hmmm...getting all sorts of ideas!
This is the best idea for drawer dividers I have seen yet. Thanks for sharing. I also see some ideas for making drawers out of the vinyl material.

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
First of all I love your idea on organizing. We sold our house two years ago to move and help my in-laws. We jammed and crammed my shop into a 20 container ( it is like those commercials where if you open the door you will get killed by the stuff jammed inside) . We figured on a couple years of helping them and traveling/house hunting.WRONG the wife got breast cancer/ I was hospitalized 4 times with G I. Problems. She is now cancer free and I have managed to stay out of the hospital (I am managing my diet, carnivore. ) . The problem is now that we are both feeling better my father/brother -in-law want me to fix all the stuff they tear up on the farm. I only brought a small 5 drawer cart with us . Now it’s very aggravating to need something (tool? And know that you have it , it’s just 500 miles away in a container at your friends house. Iwe now realize that we need a smaller rv( that I want to build to suit our needs and I need tools that I DO /DONT have😂. My problem is that I LOVE tools but I also want to travel. It’s funny how this was not even a consideration when we were both sick🤔 I do believe in organized tools /shop. So I do think I need a bigger box , just not to big . I have 12’ of boxes full of tools , but need more where I am. What is the name of those boxes and would you recommend them. A think I could get away with a 56” box for now and just add it in when we find that perfect piece of land to build the shop&house. Thanks don’t know how I haven’t seen your channel before, new sub.
Great ideas. Love repurposing stuff.
Wow! Thanks for this great idea.
this is the best system for a diy thank you
I still can't find a better video on how to organize a tool box for a large assortment of tools! Thank you!!
Brilliant all around!
THANKS! This i Brilliant! Both the design and fabrication techniques, and also the identification and re-purposing of the "raw material" (vinyl fencing components).
Brilliant idea, well executed. The thing I love the most about experienced woodworkers and carpenters is their talent for scrounging and “repurposing” as we describe it today. Thank you for posting.
Absolutely brilliant! I’m so glad I found this channel!

I built a painting studio for my artist wife and used these to organize her drawer. I used the remaining shorter left over pieces to make smaller ones and made a sliding half sled that just sits on top of the bottom ones giving her a drawer and a half. It worked awesome. Thank you for the video and all of your videos which I enjoy watching.

Absolutely the best idea to organize any set of drawers, whether in the shop or in the home that I have ever seen. Great video showing all the details to insure a successful execution of this project. I’ll have to contact some vinyl decking businesses to see if the have any scrap fence posts.
Absolute genius! I never thought about using plastic fence posts. Thank you for sharing this. Thumbs up and new sub.
Hey ... thanks for this great idea. My wife bought me a new roll away for Christmas and I plan to get better organized as I move my tools from the old tool chest to the new one. Using the PVC fence post idea really looks economical, easier to accomplish, easier to change when necessary, and ... what a time saver. FYI ... I used your lesson on making long taper wedges when I remodeled my bathroom ... you're the best .... thanks again. Looking forward to your next video. Smiles
