Tool boxes and tackle boxes are my choice for organizations things that 
are used in specific pursuits.  I have plastic tackle boxes for my chip 
carving and leatherworking tools, etc.  This week, I got a new plastic 
tool box for my grilling and smoking accessories.

All of these come with smaller plastic boxes intended to help separate 
and organize contents.  The problem is that the divisions rarely match 
up with the sizes I need for storing things.  I have, in the past, 
resorted to cutting out partitions with a pocket knife or eXacto knife; 
however, an accident that put a knife point almost completely through my 
left hand last year has made me leery of this approach - to say nothing 
of the berating I get from SWMBO.

I started to fall off the wagon and get out a rotary cutting tool with a 
tail.  In fact, I did get it out but I forgot that I had let the smoke 
out of the motor the last time I used it.

Is there an efficient but safe way to accomplish this task with hand 
tools?  What tools would you use?

(I use plastic boxes because they are lightweight.  I tried making a 
wooden box, but to overcome heaviness I had to use wood too thin to work 
well.  My skills are not those of most on this board.)

TIA
