Complete plans and a limited supply of pre-built jigs are now available on Etsy:

This video is as much about process as it is product, meaning I talk a little about how to do things efficiently to get a quality job done in less time. This is a great project for any level of woodworker, but it's best to have a router to speed the process of hollowing out the trays. I started by gathering enough scrap wood to make 15 unique trays, and then followed the same process for all of them to get the job done quicker. Almost all of them were given away as Christmas gifts to family and friends, and I'm looking forward to finding an excuse to make some more.
Due to popular request, I created a separate video showing step-by-step how to build the jig I used for this project, with a few improvements: youtu.be/d0HGunoGpio.
