The idea from Tilmann from Hamburg :
Production of a drawer insert according to the sketch. The base area of the drawer is 390 x 483 mm. The base area of the insert is sketched by me with 385 x 480. The milling on the sides is necessary to accommodate the attachment of the drawer front – see pictures attached.

Hi Brian, thank you for the excellent work. The insert just fits perfectly in the drawer and you implemented our idea perfectly. Thank you very much. I wish you and your family reflective holidays and a healthy start into the new year.

Hello Tilmann, I am happy to provide an offer for your idea. Thank you for the detailed sketch. We can make it out of Cyprus wood (which has a light brown color) and finish it with linseed oil (for food safety). I believe I have all the information necessary to start realizing your idea (within your price idea) I'm looking forward to your go ahead to start

Hi Brian, there is the unfortunately a mistake. On the drawing 3 equal sized compartments are shown and only 2 longer compartments. Please check the drawing again with the current state.
