How to make it
- 01Choose the plywood file and test both cross-divider heights in scrap slots.
- 02Cut the 13 parts in two or three runs from the 1100 × 469 mm nest, keeping the 83.1 mm and 66.3 mm cross dividers in separate piles.
- 03Place both long dividers in the base, add the six cross dividers column by column with the tall ones at the back, then fit back, sides and the 50 mm front.
- 04Sand all cell edges, lacquer the box and give each of the nine cells one product type.
Nine cells in three stepped rows
Two long dividers run front to back and form three columns. Each column is then split by two short cross dividers into three cells, and those short pieces come in two heights: 83.1 mm for the back row and 66.3 mm for the middle. The result is a grid that steps down from the 100 mm back to the 50 mm front, so the top of every item is in view. In the photo the back row holds brushes, lipsticks and an eyeshadow quad; the middle row a powder, a blush and a cream compact; the front row a palette and a highlighter. Each cell is about 9 cm square.
Cutting a thirteen-part box
The 3 mm nest is about 1100 × 469 mm, the largest sheet in this series, so most desktop lasers need two or three runs. The 270 mm square base and the 270 mm sides go on one sheet, the six small cross dividers fit in any leftover corner. Laser time with the 3 mm file: about 28 min 31 s on a 10 W diode, about 11 min 53 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 5 min 42 s on a 100 W CO2.
Assembly and finishing
Set the two long dividers in the base, then add the six cross dividers column by column, tall ones in the back row. Fit the back, sides and the 50 mm front last. Thirteen tight joints make the box rigid without glue, though glue at the outer corners is wise for a box that gets moved. Sand the many cell edges and use clear lacquer for easy cleaning.
Ideas: a full-collection organizer for a makeup artist, a nail polish grid with one color family per cell, or a craft-fair display piece.
Questions about this file
How big is each of the nine cells?
Roughly 9 × 9 cm with 3 mm plywood, which takes a compact, a quad palette or four lipsticks per cell.
Why are there two heights of cross divider?
The 83.1 mm pieces separate the back row and the 66.3 mm pieces the middle row, so the grid steps down with the sloped sides.
Is 6 mm plywood a good match for nine cells?
It works, but the eight internal walls take space from the cells. Most makers choose 3 or 4 mm for this grid.
My bed is only 300 mm deep. Will it fit?
Yes, no single part is larger than 270 × 270 mm. Rearrange the nest into several smaller sheets in your laser software.
Can it hold nail polish instead of makeup?
Yes, each cell fits several standard bottles. Seal it first, as polish remover marks bare wood.
