Pattern source(s)? 
Actually, after seeing some of your work, even though my jigsaw is on the 10ER, the jigsaw works better than I thought possible for it's age and I know it would cut these small projects you are posting. Looks like fun!

You can scale down the pattern to fit the wood scraps you have available in printer settings. That way you can use whatever wood you have around. But remember, the smaller you go, the harder it gets.
After you get a good feel for that you can make your own as needed.

The scrap pile has been getting larger so I've been whittling it down a little. Leftovers mostly from other projects but something for the shop.
I made a small cutoff sled after I finished the 45° corners. Makes small piece cutting easier and safer.

IMO scraps and shop projects are a time to experiment with different joints, techniques ect.

That's probably the nicest box for a moulding head and cutters that I have ever seen.

My har is off to redleg! Congratulations!!
That is one super box that serves a needed purpose. If I had a molder set, I like to dream that I'd make a storage box like that.
I have a few shaper knives, but I just store them in a plastic storage container that has individual sections. Have not even thought of making a nice wood box for them.
