I want to make a few drawers to go into an entertainment center to hold DVD's, CD'S and VHS's. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me figure out what size to make the drawers to make the most of the area. The area I have to work with is 24Hx21 1/4 D 17 1/4 W. I think that I would want the drawer depth at least 5 3/4 so I can put a DVD or VHS on its side. Thanks in advance.
I recently had the problem of having DVD storage space of recordings.
I decided on small "carriers" that would fit into a regular drawer... making them roughly 6" high (front & back w/ hand hole to carry), 5.5" wide for clam shell cases, and 16" long. Bottom cut with 3/16" slots abt 1/4" apart. Each holding about 32 DVD's.
Reason being, I can pickup a group and place it on table, etc. & put back into drawer when done... being very flexible.
As other needs come about, I can make other carriers for other future media needs.
So far, so good... I have to make the unit for the larger drawers NOW! :smile:
... they are also stackable...
