After weeks stuck in the house I needed some sort of creative outlet so I decided to begin planning a long needed project….. A storage solution for my MTG card collection.
The Idea I had in mind was a set of around 4 drawers in one unit. So as a start I began designing the tray portion which I hope in the end I can make removable from the unit.
My goal was to make it fairly minimal and easy to build while still having a large capacity. This design uses exclusively 1/2″ MDF and will hold approximately 8,162 cards. Each tray is made up of 11 pieces in only 4 sizes.
- 1x Bottom Plate: 25″ x 15″
- 2x Sidewalls: 15″ x 2.5″
- 2x Front & Back walls: 24″ x 2.5″
- 6x Dividers: 14″ x 2.5″
Total: 780 sq in
As shown in the side view the cards will extend up to one inch above the sides of the tray. This allows you to be able to file through your cards easily.
It may be impractical for me to make it out to buy the materials for a while but I will be sure to post updates when I make progress!
Stay healthy everyone!
