Dallas Makerspace Show and Tell - September 2017

In keeping with my quasi-tradition of planning laser-cut projects, I have some plastic shoe boxes I’d like to stack up and organize, generally as so…


Not the fanciest visualization, but more than sufficient to start designing from. Left side is the elevation facing the user, right side is a section. Shelf is 11.5" deep and I have ~39" of vertical clearance against 15" of height; I plan on making two of these.

After quite a bit of time determining just how much material I really needed, I condensed it down to something that fits within the footprint of a 24x48" quarter-sheet of plywood:


Between the visualization and the design file, I removed a lot of material on the vertical sections. This won’t be supporting a lot of weight and will be screwed into the wall. A second unit stacked on top will have the benefit of double-stacked 1/4" plywood to help bear the weight.

I might even find enough wasted space to fit my last as-yet-unrealized design in.
