The amount of wood needed varies by how many bins you want. Cutting two at a time, I had a process time of roughly 25 minutes with my M1. I use the honeycomb with the riser base on the normal height with a lined cookie sheet to catch any little pieces. With all of the little pieces, the cookie sheet makes cleanup a breeze.

The design uses 3mm wood to achieve smooth edges.

I included several sizes to choose from. Choose which size or sizes you want and make your own custom stack.

Design can be scaled larger to sort larger items. Make sure the tabs and holes for assembly line up correctly if you choose to alter the size of the final project.

Note: The label on the bin reflects the size of the item it should be left holding. Start with the largest size as the top bin. Stack in descending order for best result. Items will then be separated by size largest to smallest. So, beads/rhinestones/misc parts should be sorted with a few simple shakes.

Insert the tabs on the bottom of the bin into the matching holes on all four sides. Glue in place. Let it dry completely before use. 

Always keep something under the bin/tray to catch items being sifted through. I make sure my bottom bin has a flat bottom and use it catch the parts. 

Place items to be sorted/sifted into desired bin.

Gently shake the bin from side to side and front to back to sort items. As the larger items slide past the holes, the smaller items fall through the holes. This can be done as one bin at a time or multiple. 

Shaking too vigorously can lead to the items trying to “run away" or not sorting completely. A smooth horizontal shuffle is all you need.

I prefer to pour smaller amounts in at a time to ensure a more accurate separation.

The bins to line up to stack perfectly on top of one another making it easy to store.

Now it's your turn to get sorting, Enjoy!
