Copic Storage Instructions

After my recent post showing the Copic Storage Unit that I made using Foam Core Board, I had several requests for the instructions and this is what I came up with.

I hope it is clear enough to understand. Having it clear in your head and putting it on paper is not as easy as it seems.

Anyhoo...this is it.....


Assemble the outside of the unit using glue gun or epoxy glue.

Once assembled, divide each shelf by the number of pigeon holes you require (don't forget to take into account the thickness of the upright dividers when calculating).

Once you have made the calculations, mark the board at the measured requirements with pencil.

The mark should be 1/4" or 5mm wide and be half the depth of the shelf.

*See photo below

Using your Stanley/Exacto Knife cut out the slots as below.

When you have the shelves ready, prepare the upright dividers, taking care to match slots with shelves.

Slot shelves and uprights together as shown below.

This is how the slotted dividers should look like when correctly assembled.

Once you have all the shelves/dividers slotted together, carefully place inside the unit frame. At this point you may need to glue dividers to the frame at some points. And that's it....finished.


As I got this idea from 'zkittyz' on YouTube and modified it to suit, you can easily modify it to suit your needs as well.

This is my finished unit....I would love to see yours, so come back and leave your URL when your finished and I will come and look.

Good luck everyone ...:)
