Instructions
I used 1/8" masonite with a 1/8" downcut bit for the top layer of each tray. Set the cut depth slightly more than 1/8" The bottom layer is made from 3/8" MDF but thicker material could also be used. I routed the openings to 1/4" deep using a 1/4" bit. The alignment holes between the top and bottom layer should be routed with a 1/8" bit to the full depth of the MDF. Once both boards have been machined, glue them together using two 5/32" drill bits to keep the boards aligned. After the glue dries, the trays can be cut to finished size at the tablesaw
