In my recent studio tour video ( • Mixed Media Artist Stu... ), I showed how I prefer to make my own drawer organizers instead of buying commercially available solutions because it allows me to maximize my drawer space and create any layout I want within each drawer. In this video, I'm sharing how I create those drawer organizers, including how I plan for my drawers.

This is the best video I've seen on making these types of boxes. Thank you for doing this!

Fabulous! Thank you. I have made heavy-duty boxes out of foamcore to store paints, but this is excellent for small items to be neatly stored inside a drawer!

Great idea and an excellent video. I'm tired of trying to fit my supplies into store-bought organizers, this allows me to fit the drawers to the supplies!

This is like most perfect and detailed video! Thank you so much ! Can you make a video for art/ architecture students who often have ro make 3d models from basic like tips to use cutter propely without damaging the paper while cutting to how to use glue how to take measurements and tips to make finished models. This might feel silly but honestly this small mistake happens while making models like slight wrong measurements and you realize them after cutting all paper and then you have to make everything again!😭

hi Johwey, i was watching your studio set up as I am just setting up one of my own. LOVE your organisations. I want to make some of these boxes as I can't find anything that fits my drawers properly. However I am confused by the "chipboard". I think maybe you call things slightly differently to what we do in the UK. So is it a cardboard? It looks stronger than that though. Could you possibly put up a link to something on Amazon in the UK? Thanks so much

@johwey 10 ай бұрын

It looks like in the UK chipboard is called greyboard, backing board, or bookbinder's board. It's common in art and bookbinding supply stores. Amazon should have it as well. I hope the new terms help! 🙂
