Beer crates 2 sizes regular bottles and growlers
Used red cedar 7/8 for ends and uprights and 3/8 for sides and bottom
Sides: 4 pcs: 3/8 x 3 x 19 7/8

Uprights 4 pcs: 7/8 2 x 10 for regular and 12 inches high for growlers
Bottom: 3 pieces 3/8 x 3 x 18 inches
Glue and use narrow crown staples. Assemble uprights with ¾ or 1 inch space at top so when bottom is assembled you have 3/8 to ½ inch of mating for stacking.
Sand a taper at top and bottom so crates slide in place easily.
I made an assembly jig with 2 pcs on scrap plywood to keep it square and I marked the regular height and growler height on plywood so assembly is easy. Remember to keep uprights outside of unit when you assemble sides!!!
