How to make it
- 01Select the file for your plywood thickness and cut a test slot for the center divider on scrap.
- 02Cut the six pieces; put the 340 × 240 mm base on its own sheet if your bed is small.
- 03Attach the sloped sides to the base, add the back, slide the center divider in and finish with the 55 mm front.
- 04Sand and finish, then fill one bay with sweet snacks and the other with savory ones.
Two big bays
One divider down the center is all there is, which makes this the roomiest snack bin in the series: each bay is about 165 mm wide and the full 240 mm deep. Rows of bars stand at the back and smaller packs sit in front of them. In our setup the left bay holds granola and nut bars behind nut packs and paper sachets, and the right bay holds crackers behind dried apricots and sugar or honey sachets. Sort by sweet and savory, or give each child one side.
Fast to cut
Six parts make this the quickest box in the kitchen series. For the 3 mm file a 10 W diode needs about 17 min 22 s, a 40 W CO2 about 7 min 14 s and a 100 W CO2 about 3 min 28 s. The layout is about 1180 × 352 mm, and since the base is the biggest piece, cut it alone on a small bed and put the walls on a second sheet. Thick 6 mm plywood gives a sturdy bin that stands up to being pulled off a shelf, but plan it for a CO2 or many diode passes; 3 mm goes through in one or two.
Push the sides into the base, add the back, slide in the divider, and close with the front. With only six parts it holds dry, and wood glue is there if you want it fixed.
Finishing and variations
Sand the rim and seal with oil or clear lacquer. A big, plain bin is easy to personalize: engrave a name or the word snacks across the 340 mm front. Sell it as a pantry basket, a car snack box for road trips, or in pairs for a pantry shelf.
Questions about this file
What fits in each bay?
Each bay is roughly 165 mm wide and 240 mm deep, so it takes rows of bars, cracker packs and even small chip bags.
Can I add more dividers?
Yes, copy the divider and add matching slots in the base, front and back in your editor, sizing each slot to your plywood thickness.
Which thickness for a heavy load?
Choose 5 or 6 mm for a bin that will be lifted full every day; 3 mm is enough for one that stays on a shelf.
Does it stay together without glue?
Usually, yes. The six parts lock firmly, and a few drops at the base corners help if it rides around in a car.
Can I paint it?
Yes. Sand lightly, use a primer on plywood edges, and finish with a water-based paint and clear coat; MDF also paints well.
