How to make it
- 01Open the file for your plywood (3, 4, 5 or 6 mm) and run a one-slot test on scrap to confirm the fit.
- 02Cut the eight pieces: front, back, two sloped sides, square base, the center divider and the two cross dividers.
- 03Assemble the outer walls on the base, slide in the center divider, then fit the longer cross divider on one side and the shorter one on the other.
- 04Sand, seal against water, then arrange sponges and soap at the back and cloths and tablets in front.
A square footprint for the corner
At 240 mm on each side, this caddy fits the corner where the counter meets the backsplash, or the deep ledge behind some sinks. One divider runs front to back through the middle, and each half gets its own cross divider, so you end up with four sections in a 2 × 2 grid. In the photo the back left section holds scrub sponges, the back right one a bottle of dish soap, the front left a stack of three cloths, and the front right a few dishwasher tablets. The front wall is half the height of the back (50 mm against 100 mm), and the sides slope between them.
Cut times and bed size
For the 3 mm file the job takes about 18 min 35 s on a 10 W diode, about 7 min 45 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 3 min 43 s on a 100 W CO2. The 3 mm layout is 980 × 352 mm; machines with a smaller bed can take the pieces in two batches, with the square base on its own. The 4, 5 and 6 mm versions cut slower; a 10 W diode will need several passes for anything over 3 mm.
Assembly and water protection
The two cross dividers are slightly different lengths, so check which one goes on which side of the center divider before you press them in. No glue is needed for a snug fit, though wood glue makes it permanent. Since a sink caddy is constantly splashed, sand the edges and seal the whole box with a waterproof lacquer or oil, including the inner corners.
Ideas: list it as a corner sink organizer, sell it in pairs with the longer caddies, or include it in a cleaning gift set with sponges and cloths.
Questions about this file
Will it fit in the corner behind my sink?
The footprint is 240 × 240 mm, so measure the corner ledge first. It needs that much flat space, plus a little room for the bottle to stick up.
Why are the two cross dividers different lengths?
They sit on either side of the center divider and the slot positions differ slightly, so each one is cut to its own side. Dry-fit before gluing.
How should I waterproof a plywood sink caddy?
Use several coats of polyurethane, spar varnish or hard wax oil on all faces and cut edges, and let the finish cure fully before use.
Can I engrave a word on it?
The file itself contains only cut lines, but you can add text to the front or the back panel in your laser software before cutting.
Which material thickness is best?
Three millimeter plywood is plenty for a box this size and cuts quickly. Go to 4 mm if you want a heavier, more solid feel.
