Stackable plywood storage boxes

My shed was a mess so I decided it was time to build some storage boxes. I took the idea for these boxes from the modular euro stacking boxes which are made from plastic and can stack on top of each other.
I made three different sizes of box with the following external dimensions: 600x400x400mm, 600x400x300mm and 400x300x300mm. Two of the 4x3 boxes can stack on top of one of the 6x4 boxes. In order to stop dust etc. getting into the top boxes I made some simple lids for them.
The sides of the boxes are 9mm plywood, the bases are 18mm plywood, and the nailing battens/corner supports are approx. 20x20mm.
00:00 - Unload plywood
00:10 - Cut box sides to width
00:39 - Cut box sides to length
01:35 - Rip nailing battens and chamfer corner
02:44 - Cut nailing battens to length
02:56 - Chamfer end of nailing batten
03:21 - Router out handles
03:59 - Chamfer handle
04:40 - Cut box bases to width
05:21 - Cut box bases to length
05:35 - Glue nailing battens to box ends
06:15 - Box glue up
08:51 - Chamfer box edges
09:47 - Sand box
10:09 - Rip feet to width
10:24 - Cut feet to length
10:35 - Chamfer feet edges
10:55 - Glue on feet
11:44 - Drill hole for lid handle and chamfer
12:32 - Stacking demonstration

Thanks for sharing your ideas and techniques! Seeing you go from plywood sheets to implemented stacking boxes crystalizes my own thoughts about what I'd like to build.

Boxilla! 😄

Nice design to use the battens to support both the bottom and the top.

Thanks Mike!

i love them. i think for your ease for not needing to lift them you could also make some with drawers, but i know that would take up more space and be heavier. i just love plywood storage. it looks beautiful

Thank you!

Is that a Paulk workbench in the Grampians?

It certainly is. Ron's influence has reached the Highlands!
