When I buy a box of hardware, I tend to have a lot of leftover pieces. One day, while taking some prescription medication, a thought struck me about how to store all the extra hardware. That’s when I came up with the simple setup that you see above.
Pill Holder. The small parts holder consists of a plywood frame and three pivoting shelves. Each shelf has four holes to accept standard size pill bottles. The shelves pivot with the use of dowel pins and toy wheels on the outside of the frame. The dowel is glued into the shelf but not into the frame. The plywood frame is attached to a wider base for stability and has a handle on top to easily move the holder around my shop.
When I’m done with a prescription medicine, I save the bottle and dump my hardware in. I can pivot a shelf to insert the bottle. When not in use, I can store the holder in an out-of-the-way location.
