How to make it
- 01Open the version for your plywood thickness and cut a test slot to check the joint, since this box has many short dividers that must hold firmly.
- 02Cut all 13 parts, making sure your bed can take the 270 × 270 mm base in one piece.
- 03Build the square shell, insert the front and middle cross dividers, then add the row dividers from the shortest (front) to the tallest (back).
- 04Sand, finish with oil or lacquer, and fill the nine cells with jar pairs or sachets.
A 3 × 3 grid that climbs
This is the only square box in the spice set, 270 mm on each side. Two full-width cross dividers make three rows, and each row has two short dividers for three cells, nine in total. The rows rise from front to back: the front cross divider is 58.4 mm tall, the middle one 69.2 mm, and the back cells are bounded by the 80 mm wall. That stepping is what lets you see every lid from where you stand.
In the photo six cells hold pairs of small jars (bay leaves, coriander, curry powder, paprika, chili flakes, peppercorn mix, pink salt and more) and three cells hold seasoning sachets, one packet cell in each row so jars and packets alternate. Two jars per cell means up to eighteen jars if you skip the packets.
A square footprint also turns well: on a lazy Susan or in a corner, it uses space that a long rectangular rack would waste.
Cutting and assembly
The 3 mm version of the layout covers 1100 × 446 mm. The base is a full 270 × 270 mm, so check that your bed takes it; the other twelve parts can be split over one or two more sheets. Estimated time for the 3 mm file is about 27 min 37 s on a 10 W diode, falling to about 11 min 30 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 5 min 31 s on a 100 W CO2. A 10 W diode is comfortable on 3 mm; 5–6 mm is better on a CO2 or with several slower passes.
There are three sets of row dividers in three heights: 58.4 mm, 69.2 mm and 80 mm. Pencil a row number on each before assembly.
Gift ideas
Sell it as a 3 × 3 spice sampler with nine blends, as a baking-spice box (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and friends), or with a stained finish for darker kitchens.
Questions about this file
How many spice jars can it hold?
Each cell takes two small jars side by side, so nine cells hold up to eighteen jars.
Will it fit on a turntable?
At 270 × 270 mm it fits a turntable of about 380 mm diameter or larger, since the corners need clearance.
Can I make it bigger without breaking the joints?
Scale the outline only and redraw every slot at your real plywood thickness; scaling slots with the rest makes them too wide.
Should I glue the grid?
It holds without glue, but on a turntable a few drops at the cross dividers stop the grid from shifting as it spins.
Which plywood is best?
Birch plywood in 3 or 4 mm cuts cleanly on most lasers and has a pale face that suits kitchen jars.
