At this time this is what I'm thinking.
The 3 bottom drawers can be filled with scales blanks, old scales and wedges and scale making tools. Just a standard black drawer liner.

The rest will get 1" piece of foam rubber covered in red felt. Then dowels pressed to fit the sides for dividers so I can lay the razors flat and see them easy. I should be able to get 10 razors in each drawer this way. Should hold 150 razors in this manor.

But then when I manage to get more razors then what will fit that way, I can stand them up in racks. Then I should be able to get 25 per drawer. That would make a shit load of razors!

150 razors , wow !!!

I'm loving this. What a great set up.

Thats d bomb, Jerry.
You might as well turn them upright, now. Then all you'll have to do is push down on the tails, and they pop up for removal .
Ya got me trumped, brother. My box is full, and I've got just as many laying out, and in boxes on my dresser.


But I do have another jewelry box to revamp, once the weather breaks enough for outside work.

Jerry, great score !! Let's have a look when you when fill her up

Nice find Jerry! Looks like it serve the desired purpose well. It has a nice style to it as well.

Mike, I really thought about doing this. BTW, I love the way they look in your box standing up. I'm just thinking they might be a bit harder to find the one your looking for that way. But I figured I had enough room I might as well use more drawers this way. That will be the back-up plan but I'd have to double the amount of razors I got before I'll need to do that. On the other hand, I've only been collecting for a year and I've got this many so, another year and I will have to start standing them. Ha. Well I've slowed down on buying unless its just a deal I cant refuse. Maybe two years before I have to stand them.

So far I got all drawers lined with the foam and the felt. I got all the dowels cut a touch long, so for the next few days I'll be sanding to fit and placing the dowels in. No glue, just press them in place so I can take them out when the time comes. I was wrong on my counting as I'm only going to get 8 per drawer. But this will still give me room for 144 Razors before I have to revamp it. Plus the three drawers on the bottom for parts.

When its finished and loaded, I'll post up another pic.

BTW, Thanks to all for the flowers.

Well, That plan fell apart. Cant do it the way I was planing on so guess I need to get a closer look at mikes setup. E-mail sent.

This is what I got but I'm just not happy. I need to glue the dowels to the sides of the drawer and I'd rather not glue or nail so I can change it later. Who knows. Just step up and do it right as they say!

Beautiful cabinet, and I think the dowels are simple and functional!

Just a thought............what if you cut clear plexiglass the same length as the dowel, maybe half an inch high with spacers on each end to eliminate the need for glue or nails. You could sit the razors upright and get as many as 25 razors in each drawer?
