Planning
Below is what is already out there and this is what I wanted to try to create. I planned to create a spot for my Xbox games, a sport for my Wii games, and a sport for Wii controllers. To the left is a quick drawing I made to show the dimesons I needed for the dividers and the parts that are circled are sports where I was going to be held together.

Creating the Brackets
For the layout I wanted I needed two different kind of brackets. I needed one for 3 ways and than one for a 90 degree corner. This one is the 3-way one and the plywood I used was 1/4in so I made this .50in so it left room extra room. I then made the cut out for it and I made a cut out 5/16 a little bigger than 1/4 in to leave extra room so it would fit.

What I learned
I learned that planning is key. I had really planed out what I wanted and took the time to draw out a quick sketch and that really helped me though out the whole project. I also learned about the importance of trying to save as much martial as possible. I first had the dividers not as close to each others but then moved them really close to help save material and not waste as much.
