How to make it
- 01Choose the file for your plywood and cut one test slot; with six small dividers in the grid, a snug fit matters.
- 02Cut all 12 parts over two or three sheets and sort the dividers into front-row and back-row piles.
- 03Assemble the base, back, sides and 54 mm front, fit the cross divider, then add three 90 mm dividers behind it and three 71.7 mm dividers in front.
- 04Sand the top edges, apply oil or lacquer, and fill the eight compartments with your teas, coffee and sugar.
Eight compartments, two rows
This is the biggest grid in the tea and coffee set and the box to make for someone who owns more than a handful of flavours. A cross divider runs the full 320 mm width and splits the 220 mm depth into two rows of almost equal depth. Each row has three dividers and four compartments: the back ones are the full 90 mm tall, the front ones 71.7 mm, so the rear row of tea bags rises clearly above the front.
The photo has a realistic mix: dark green tea, red berry tea, gold coffee sticks and paper sugar sticks in the back; chamomile, mint tea, coffee sachets and white sugar sticks in the front. Four teas, two kinds of coffee and two sugars, all visible from above without lifting anything.
Making the chest
This is a 12-piece build with a 3 mm layout of 1223.5 × 416 mm, the largest sheet in the tea set. Expect to cut it in three jobs on a typical desktop machine. The cut time for the 3 mm file comes to about 26 min 43 s on a 10 W diode, about 11 min 08 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 5 min 21 s on a 100 W CO2 machine. Stay with 3 or 4 mm if you cut on a diode; thicker sheets mean many passes.
The six short dividers come in two depths (111.5 mm for the front row, 108.5 mm for the back) and two heights. Keep each set in its own pile, or mark them with pencil, before assembly. Glue is not required; a few drops along the cross divider make the grid rigid enough to carry full.
Gift and sale ideas
A filled eight-flavour chest is a generous Christmas or Mother's Day gift. You can also sell it empty to tea shops that want a sampler display, or offer a stained version as a match for darker kitchens. Seal it with oil or lacquer before filling.
Questions about this file
How many flavours can I store?
Eight, one per compartment; in the photo four are teas and the rest coffee and sugar.
Why are some dividers shorter?
The front row uses lower dividers so the back row of tea bags stays visible above it.
Can I make this chest in MDF?
Yes, but measure the MDF and run a test slot first, and seal it well since raw MDF soaks up drips.
Which thickness do you recommend?
3 mm is the lightest and quickest; 4 mm gives a sturdier chest if it will be carried around full.
Can I engrave flavour names?
The file has no engraving, but you can add small names along the top of the front panel in your own engraving layer.
