How to make it
- 01Pick the file for your plywood and run one test slot from a cross divider.
- 02Cut the eleven parts from the 1228 × 302 mm nest, divided over two sheets on a smaller machine.
- 03Place the three long dividers in the base, match each short cross divider to its column, then add back, sides and the 50 mm front.
- 04Lacquer the box, set a brush cup in the open left column and fill the six cells.
One tall column, six small cells
Three long dividers split the 340 mm width into four columns. The left column is left open from back to front, which is handy for a glass brush cup with a palette and a powder in front of it, as on the terracotta-tiled bathroom counter in the photo. In each of the three right columns a short cross divider (69.7 mm tall) creates a back cell and a front cell, six in total. Lipsticks, a highlighter, an eyeshadow quad, a blush and two cream compacts each get a cell of their own.
Cutting the eleven parts
The nest for the 3 mm file is about 1228 × 302 mm, so most hobby users will split it over two sheets: the base, back and front on one, the sides and seven dividers on the other. Cutting the 3 mm file takes about 24 min 54 s on a 10 W diode, about 10 min 22 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 4 min 59 s on a 100 W CO2. Plan extra passes or a CO2 for the 5 and 6 mm versions.
The three cross dividers are not identical (87.2, 84.2 and 84.4 mm long), so lay them next to their columns before assembly.
Assembly and finishing
Stand the three long dividers in the base, add the cross dividers to the right-hand columns, then fit the back, both sides and the low front. Glue is optional; a little on the base tabs makes the box rigid enough to carry full. Seal it with lacquer if it stays in the bathroom.

Questions about this file
Does a brush cup fit in the left column?
Yes, the left column is open for the full 20 cm depth, so a round glass or a jar about 6 cm across fits at the back with room for a palette in front.
Are the three cross dividers interchangeable?
No, they are 87.2, 84.2 and 84.4 mm long to match their columns. Mark them with a pencil as you take them off the laser.
Can I leave out the cross dividers?
Yes, the box holds together without them; you then get four long columns instead of seven compartments. Just leave their slots empty or cover them with a felt liner.
Will the box survive a steamy bathroom?
Bare plywood will swell over time. Seal all faces with two coats of polyurethane, including the inside of every cell.
Is 6 mm plywood a good idea for this box?
It makes the walls very sturdy but takes noticeable space from the small cells. 3 or 4 mm keeps the cells roomy.
