* Cutting the wood according to the design.

* Cutting a circle out of the PVC sheet (diameter = diameter of the large mailing container).

* Inside the cut out circle, another circle is cut (diameter = diameter of the small mailing container).

* Cut 2 of these.

* Large mailing container (7 cm in height).

* Small mailing container (31.6 cm in height).

* Assembled box (taped before gluing).

* Cut out circles to fit the small mailing container in.

* The bottom circle is a bit further (near to the end of the plate) than the top circle (located at the center of the plate) to get an approximately 45 degree tilt.

* Two cut out PVC sheet circles are glued to the large mailing container.

* The previous box is too large for the mailing containers (unbalanced look).

* Cut another box. (image above: parts of the box).

* Drill a hole.
