Start from a blank workpiece
Start on a blank workpiece. Turn a square into a rectangular separator panel for a six pack bottle carrier, then add six circles in two rows of three. Cut outside the panel outline and inside the circle paths at the stock thickness, rather than clearing out six pockets. The native 3D preview shows the profile cuts with tabs holding the panel and circular offcuts in place; remove those tabs and offcuts after cutting. Adjust the hole diameter and spacing for your bottles without resizing the carrier’s joining slots.

This demonstration draws one separator panel, not a complete carrier. Measure your bottles and leave room between them; the base, handle, joints and load strength need their own design and fit checks.
These carriers separate six bottles in different ways. The box with a dowel grip uses thin dividers; the other two use round bottle openings.
Six Pack Bottle Holderby Ed ShouseEd Shouse combines thin cherry box panels with a thicker oak handle. The six round openings keep bottles apart, and the sides leave room for a name or painted design. His main Easel file contains the box; open the maker’s separate handle file from the project discussion for the grip.
Bottle Toteby Jason WillisJason Willis adapts Bill Childress’s tote into a finger-jointed plywood box for six 12-ounce bottles. A one-inch wooden dowel forms the grip. His first workpiece has the box panels and lettering; the second has the thinner slotted dividers that separate the bottles.
Six Pack Toteby Bill ChildressBill Childress uses tall end pieces and an arched handle above a six-opening bottle panel. The open sides leave the labels visible. His single shared workpiece contains the shaped parts, ready to arrange around the boards you choose before cutting and gluing.

From the makers’ instructions
Read Ed’s handle-fitting and finishing advice in the carrier discussion. Posting a follow-up requires signing in.
Ed asks makers to measure the handle board and change the slot width to match it, while keeping each slot center in place. That lets a different handle thickness fit the box without shifting the handle off its intended position. Changing the whole carrier’s scale would also change those joints.

Ask a questionEd suggests painting the separate panels first, when the faces are easy to reach. Assemble the box before rounding its corners, then glue in the handle and apply the final stain or clear finish. His sequence keeps the handle out of the way while the box edges are rounded.

Ask a questionA dowel grip suits Jason’s divided box; Ed’s separate handle fits through the bottle panel. Choose the construction you like, then set the bottle spacing and side lettering in your own Easel design.
