Thanks guys! I made this one about 10 years ago, and my woodworking has gotten a lot better since then.

The dividers are a removeable insert, so it could be made to hold both graded and ungraded or postcards with a change of insert. I could probably figure inserts for other stuff too. Or moveable dividers.

Some protection against spills like a gasket or something could be done, although I've never had a spill bad enough to run around the overhang.

I wouldn't rely on it as a hiding place. The upper section is a lot taller than almost any other end table. It sort of stands out that way, one of the things I wasn't happy with aesthetically.

For a shippable version I was thinking of a drawer and removeable legs. That would get the package size down to something manageable.

Right now the workshop has no heat. I've done a bit of woodworking in the cold, and it's not much fun. A nice 25 degrees out right now, better than the -5 yesterday. I'll also have to see how much time the baby allows me. (I'm a stay at home dad) I'll probably figure out how much the wood costs and see about making a few over the summer. I had my old price calculations inside, but like any other 10 year old price they didn't seem accurate.
