In or near the galley of many boats, there often is unused or wasted space between cabinets and a stove, sink or refrigerator. While such space is much too narrow for a cabinet, a vertical storage drawer can fit, adding additional shelf space. This project is building a vertical drawer with four shallow-tray shelves ideal for storing knives, forks and spoons, and other kitchen equipment. And, if you wish to omit the first and third shelves, it makes a good “grog” locker. All material used, except the drawer’s face panel, is 1/2 inch wood that can be pine, mahogany or marine plywood. The face panel is 3/4 inch mahogany. By using a face panel for the drawer, construction is simplified and the need to make rabbet and dado cuts, except for notches to fit shelf side braces, is avoided. To build a vertical storage drawer, follow these steps.
