Preparation
- 1 - 1x3 @ 8 feet long
- 2 - 1/4" plywood pieces 14" x 14"
- 1-1/4" and 5/8" brad nails
- wood glue
- 3 - 1x3 @ 12-1/2"
- 2 - 1x3 @ 14"
- 2 - 1x3 @ 7-3/4"
- 2 - 1/4" plywood or MDF pieces, 14" x 14"
Cut the 1x3s with a miter saw/chop saw or alternatively with a jigsaw/circuclar saw using a square a guide to make square cuts.
Cut the 1/4" plywood pieces with a circular saw, elevating the plywood up on scrap wood or foam - or use a tablesaw to make the cuts.
Instructions
Step 1
Attach the 7-3/4" long 1x3s to two of the 12-1/2" long 1x3s, set in 3-1/2" from each end.
Use 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue.
Step 2
Attach the sides and top to the divider section with 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue.
Step 3
Attach 1/4" plywood to the bottom of the 1x3s with glue and 5/8" brad nails.
Step 4
Mark out the cutouts in the remaining 1/4" plywood panel.
Clamp firmly to a worktable.
Drill holes in the centers of the cutouts (I used my Kreg Jig bit to do this)
Using a jigsaw with a finish blade for wood, carefully cutout the cutouts on the insides of your lines.
Sand the cut edges smooth so the wood won't damage your ziploc bags.
Alternative: Use a scroll saw or router/dremmel to cut out.
Once the top is cutout, attach to the top of the 1x3s with glue and 5/8" brad nails.

Making permanent in a drawer vs the design shown
Do you think it would be possible to make this as a permanent part in a drawer.. ie use 2 sides of the drawer as part of the box.
