AND are the petitions just cut to size and nailed to the backs of the boxes

[OLDYELLOW]

walls lined with same chipboard you make boxes to size of your loft but allow space to manover them  depending on how big you want the boxes internaly i choose 10 inch as thats the size of a nest bowl , the 1ft was decided as can get 4 1ft x 8ft strips off a 8ft x 4 ft sheet of 3/4 chipboard so your my fist measurement was 10 inch i drew a line then i added another line 10. 3/4 inch , then another at 20.3/4 and so on , half of the slot is removed either by router or by jigsaw and chizzle they simply slot together and brackets to hold it together it is realy simple

so.is.all.the partitions one single bit of wood with the slots cut out?

[OLDYELLOW]

yup look at the picture carefully there basicaly 2 pieces of wood sloted into each other but multiple times the uprights go in first then you slide the bases in one at a time

[Guest]

Im with you now m8 just need to get the measurements spot on that wot be easy . Did u build a jig for cutting the slots

[OLDYELLOW]

i just cut twice with a jigsaw and chizzled the 3/4 gap , if your not confident you can always make a template up then all measurements can be done with a piece of wood at required size of your box then turn up to mark the thickness of the wood your using always cut making a slightly bigger hole as it wont slot together easily
