Chris,
This looks good, but will have to add some feet. I was thinking of something like these, but scaled appropriately. They are attached to a frame with molding. The molding is higher than the frame pieces so it contains the carcase.
With something this small we can eliminate the molding and the frame will attach directly to the feet. Then the frame will attach to the case. Will probably inset it to match the inner opening of the bottom.
This means that the area for lasering will be diminished by about an inch all around to allow for this frame.
Also, the feet and frame will not have a "back" side and will look the same on all four sides.

Semper Audere!
I found a box of hinges, but not the box with the Cocobolo. I have walnut, maple, jatoba and one I am not sure of any more but it may be sapele. So now I need to know species that will tie into the program. And an address to send them to....
Oh, and the way this forum inserts posts where it will makes it hard to follow. No one with new information should quote a old post or it gets lost in the middle.

I may have missed it in a different post. But what will you do with the finished item?
Maybe auction it off with proceeds to the Creek?
Or half Creek and half charity...

Ok Chris see what you can do with the following:
Make the front all on one plane with the drawer inset and flush with the front. Maybe thin the top down somewhat so it isnt as high.
I talked with Dewey and we are thinking either a flat one piece top with a routed edge or a frame and panel. If we go with frame and panel Dewey can veneer the plywood core for the panel and then do his thing on it. If its solid then he would more than likely go with an inlay.
Since Keith is adding some CNC carving to the top, just say for examples sake a rose or something, Dewey and I thought it would be nice for him to inlay some leaves and such around it so as to accent the carving and not "busy" it up. I really like that idea alot. Looks like Mike has a fantastic design on the feet/bottom assembly so we are moving forward,
keep the train a'rollin!!

If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
That's OK.....I can work with whatever you send me. Send both if you can (the PP and JPG)....maybe one would work better than the other.
Just as an FYI....a vector file can be scaled without the loss of any resolution.....whereas a JPEG would look horrible if you tried to make it 6'x6'. Vectors are just easier to work with.

That might not much room for a front mounted handle. Unless you folks want to go with a top handle, which I think is going to make fitting it in around the inlay and carving more complicated. How tall is the top in the existing SU model? And how tall from the lower drawer opening to the top opening? And much much were you thinking of thinning down?
