<div dir="ltr">Bear in mind that you will have to tweak the dimensions a bit to get the sides to fit around the bottoms, etc. With my CAD program, sides are drawn 12" x 16". Ends then become 10.5" wide by 12" high. The bases are 10.5" by 14.5". So there's still a little waste... You could use the scraps to make angled pieces to screw or glue in the corners, so they are easier to clean out.<br><br><div><div><img src="cid:ii_jnc7bstm0" alt="image.png" width="486" height="394"><br></div></div></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 4:34 PM <<a href="mailto:eric@megageek.com">eric@megageek.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">This is awesome.

<br>
Made sense to me.<br>
<br>
Multiples of 12" and 16" (minus the saw kerf) should yield pieces
that<br>
will fully utilize a sheet of plywood. Does that work for you?<br>
Otherwise you will have odd bits of about 8" by whatever left over.<br>
<br>
<br>
One sheet: 24 sides and bottoms (all 12x16)<br>
<br>
Second sheet : 20 short sides (12x12) and 3 sides/bottoms (12x16).<br>
That gives you 9 boxes, with two short sides (12x12) left over.<br>
<br>
If they have to be 20", then it gets trickier. Is SketchUp still
a thing?<br>
