Iceman6409 said:Just my two cents here. I have built 3 of these so far and it is such a great, simple very cheap idea. I was going to make the dividers as well but by accident I happened to put four 6 pack carriers in one and they fit perfectly. No moving around at all. I have dozens of those 6 pack carriers all over the place and obviously they are free
These are the numbers I come up with to make a carrier for 12 16oz bottles:
Bottom Slats = 14"
Vertical Ends = 10 1/4"
Shorts Sides = 9 1/2"
Long Sides = 15 1/2"
That is with the bottle dividers. and 1/2" head room for the bottles on top.
I calculated the inside of the original 24ct 12oz box as L - 15 1/2", W - 10 1/2", H - 9 1/4"
Thoughts?

For those of us that are not knowledgeable in the fine art of pneumatic nail guns what other way is there to "nail" or screw this together?
