Frameless base with tray dividers below drawer

Postby Gene Davis » Mon, Sep 19 2022, 3:29PM

I did one of these for a recent job and the partition is lock-tenoned into the deck, back, and the stretcher under the drawer. No need for any fastening, the mortise and tenon fit-up is just fine for these.

We used 12 mm baltic birch ply for the partition, which is part-edited to do the concave curve at front edge.

Three questions. Is there maybe a better way to do this tray divider thing?

And second, if this is OK, might a different thickness than 12 mm be better?

Finally, when I want more partitions, am I going to have to part edit every one, or is there some trick way to replicate the part?

Gene,

"...Finally, when I want more partitions, am I going to have to part edit every one, or is there some trick way to replicate the part?"

In the part editor, under the contour menu, you can save/open the geometry created for one part, and open onto another part. Then use the same "cut/pocket.../create part" right-click options back in the part editor main to make the part from the geometry.

Yes, I do exactly what Stuart does.
Also you can get the first one right, and in contour, right click create edges, delete the stuff you don't need, save.
Remember to swap front and back view as preferred before loading saved geometery, it can help lay the geometry on the part easier.
