How to make it
- 01Choose the file for your sheet thickness and test one tab in one slot on an offcut before running the whole job.
- 02Cut all nine parts, spreading the 1160 mm layout over two or three sheets if your bed is small.
- 03Join the two back dividers and the short front divider to the long cross divider, place the grid on the base, then fit the back, the sides and the 49 mm front.
- 04Sand, seal with lacquer, and put earrings and rings in the three back cubbies and bigger pieces in the two front bays.
Layout of the five compartments
A long cross divider runs the full 380 mm length and splits the tray into a back row and a front row. Two short dividers cut the back row into three cubbies, each about the size of an earring card or a ring cushion. A single divider in the front row leaves two larger bays: one for bangles and a watch, the other for sunglasses.
The front wall is 49 mm and the back 70 mm. The cross divider sits a little lower than the back wall, so the small cubbies stay in view behind the bigger bays.
Cutting notes
There are nine parts. Budget about 22 min 20 s on a 10 W diode, about 9 min 18 s on a 40 W CO2 or about 4 min 28 s on a 100 W CO2; those times are for the 3 mm file. The nested sheet is 1160 × 272 mm, so on a 400 mm bed rearrange the parts across three sheets. Thicker 5 or 6 mm plywood needs repeated passes on a diode, which is why a CO2 machine is the easier route for the heavier versions.
Assembly and finish
Slot the short front divider and the two back dividers into the cross divider first, then stand that small grid on the base. Add the back, both sloped sides and finally the front. Friction alone keeps it together; add glue only if the tray will be grabbed and moved every day.
Round the top edges with 240 grit so nothing snags a fine chain, and seal with water-based lacquer.
Valet trays sell well as gifts for couples (her rings on one side, his watch on the other) and as hotel-style trays for guest rooms. A light walnut stain looks good in listing photos.
Questions about this file
What goes in the three small back cubbies?
They are sized for earring cards, ring cushions or a pair of studs each. Bracelets, a watch and sunglasses go in the two front bays.
Could I scale it up to hold more?
Yes, but scaling also widens the slots. Keep the slot width equal to your material thickness after scaling, otherwise the joints become loose.
Will it work in 3 mm acrylic?
Use the 3 mm file and test the fit first, because acrylic sheets are often a little thinner or thicker than stated. Acrylic joints usually need a solvent glue to hold.
Do I have to glue the joints?
No. The tabs lock the tray together; a small drop of wood glue per joint is only needed if you want it to stay assembled for good.
Can the tray sit inside a drawer?
At 70 mm tall it fits drawers with at least 75 mm of inside height and a 380 × 190 mm floor. The sloped front makes it easy to reach in from above.
