Well, it wasn't really a weekend project, but it could have been, hence the title.

If you like to give it a try, here's the plan.




The top two are the vertical and horizontal center pieces. The last four pieces are for top, bottom, left, and right dividers. The joints are simply half lap joints (see  http://jawoodworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/half-lap-joint.jpg).

Just remember to finish wood pieces before assembling. It's much easier than having to apply finish to the assembled product, which unfortunately is what I did.
