Start with what you know

Fit a tray to a small space

Start with the space you have. Allow room around the tray and check the items inside before making a cut.

Choose plywood for a first project

Compare two sheet options for the same five-part tray before you buy. See which stock fits and how much material is left.

Can my offcuts make this organizer?

Check the wood already on your bench against a complete two-lane organizer. No extra sheet is added to make the result pass.
