"Card Catalog" Storage Boxes

I found a shelf with boxes at a flea market for $100. It looks like a card catalog but is just a shelf with boxes on it. The boxes are smaller at the top and longer as you move down. The boxes are labeled with numbers and labels like Fantasy, True Crime, Sports, ect. so the shelf was used to store books. I took it home and put it in my garage for storage. 

Step 1 Great find at the flea market

I went to the flea market to look for a storage shelf but found something much better then just a regular shelf. I really didnt know what I was looking for but when I saw this I had to have it. I have always wanted a card catalog for storage but this was even better because the drawers are so large.

Good find, I am a bit envious really. Suggestion for a few of the drawers...a piece of styrofoam with slots cut into it, would hold your hand saws and hack saws in a vertical position, saving the blade and your fingers. How about taking some cardboard and sectioning off some of the drawers to stop the contents from becoming a jumbled mess - I am thinking of the drawer with the hooks in it, or the springs. I don't know the term (if there is one) but cut slots in the cardboard half way up one piece and half way down the other so they interlock. Maybe stand your tapes up on edge so you can see the one you want at a glance - make a ridge/bump, so they don't roll back and forth.
