Can You Build Your Own Plywood Stackable Utility Boxes?

For a long time, like many of you, I have had a love / hate relationship with plastic storage containers. I know, I know ... how petty, but we all have our pet peeves and that is one of mine. I love they are easy to find, inexpensive, come in many sizes (most of which are not the one I need) and the work (mostly). What I hate, they get brittle over time, chip crack and break (some deform) they stack vertical ok, but not horizontal. When ever I put things with vertical sides, hand planes, boxes of screws etc. the slanted sides take up WAY too much wasted space. Yeah they are OK for cloths, cables and rope but vertical edged, they are not.
Summer means I have wee bit more time on my hands, time to make some “real woodworker” storage boxes, and for me, a chance to show that the affiliate sites I hand pick are done because I USE their products and want to help them stay in business so we can all benefit from their offerings.

Some things in woodworking seem so simple after you actually do them. Such is the case with this new Starbond 30 minute, 2 part Epoxy Glue. For woodworking projects I am building, often times I am wishing I had a glue that was super strong, but that could give me a much longer time before it started to bond ... or what we call "Open Time".
I have been using the 5 Minute, 2 part Epoxy for many years, it works well for projects where I need a bond to form within a few minutes and it's easy to use ....

The whole theme of this video and project came though another woodworking buddy, but when I first saw his version my brain flood with other ideas I wanted to try. In this video I stopped at only 3, but I have many other "collected" pieces of driftwood, old firewood chunks, galls and figured wood that I would like to try.
My first version happened when I drove by and area near me where there was some road allowance clearing and I instantly spotted some smaller trees or brush that when inverted would super cool wooden stands.

Saw horses are of those little thought about items that you don't seem to miss until you need one. I have an old pair of the "A" frame type sitting in my stoop for almost 20 years now, I didn't make them but they sure come in handy from time to time, despite all the room they take up, because they don't "stack".
They are well worn, paint splattered, wobbly and not all that well made, but they have lasted a long time despite all that, but time to upgrade them ...
