How to make it

01Choose the 3, 4, 5 or 6 mm file and cut one cross-divider slot on scrap to judge the fit.

02Cut the eight parts from the 980 × 302 mm nest, moving the base to its own sheet on a small machine.

03Place the long divider, add the 80.8 mm cross divider at the back and the 71.7 mm one in front of it, then close the box with back, sides and the 63 mm front.

04Sand, oil, then lay brushes and palettes in the open area and lipsticks in the stacked cells.

One big area, three small cells

Most of the floor here is left open on purpose. A single long divider runs from front to back about two thirds of the way across, leaving a wide space where brushes can lie flat next to a large powder compact and an eyeshadow palette, exactly as on the wooden table in the photo. The narrow column on the right is split by two short cross dividers into three stacked cells: lipsticks at the back, a slim palette in the middle and a blush compact at the front. The two cross dividers have different heights (80.8 and 71.7 mm), so the cells step down toward you.

Cutting and assembly

With a 63 mm front this tray has the gentlest slope of the 90 mm boxes, which gives the open area a bit more wall. The eight parts are nested on a 980 × 302 mm sheet; for a bed under a metre, cut the base separately. Estimated time for the 3 mm file: about 18 min 00 s on a 10 W diode, about 7 min 30 s on a 40 W CO2, about 3 min 36 s on a 100 W CO2.

Set the long divider in the base, then hook the two cross dividers between it and the right side, taller one at the back. Fit the back panel, both sides and the front. Glue is not needed for daily use.

Finishing and ideas

Rub the edges with 180-grit paper and seal with oil for a matte look. The open area works well for anyone who owns more brushes than lipsticks, and the tray also makes a neat nail polish station. Sellers can offer it as a palette tray in a set with a lipstick stand, or engrave a short name on the front panel.

Questions about this file

Can full-size brushes lie flat in the open area?

Yes, the open area is the full 20 cm deep, so standard face brushes lie flat diagonally or straight. Long kabuki-style handles may need to rest at an angle.

Why do the two cross dividers differ in height?

They follow the slope of the sides. The rear one is 80.8 mm and the front one 71.7 mm, so the small cells step down toward the 63 mm front.

Could I use it for nail polish instead?

It works for nail polish: bottles stand in the big area and files or cuticle tools go in the small cells. Seal it first, since polish remover marks bare plywood.

What happens if I scale the drawing by 120 percent?

The slots also grow by 20 percent, so 3 mm slots become 3.6 mm and the joints go loose. Scale the outline only, or redraw the slots at your material thickness.

Can I engrave on the open-area floor?

You can engrave the base before assembly, for example a pattern or a name visible when the tray is empty. The file itself only has cut lines.
