Step-by-step Instructions
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.
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.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
