Almost done, I swear!

With only legs, the box looks bottom heavy.
A few passes on the router table will make some trim to fix this.

Length of cherry, first shape the sides with a 3/4" box core bit and make a curved return with a 1/4" radius round over.

To overlap the lid (with a reveal), I just needed to add a rabbet. I did this on the table saw, again using my trusty box joint blade set for the square cornered cuts.

Trim pieces separated from the mothership with a rip cut.

Some careful 45 cuts and length marking and this trim is fitted around the lid.

For the box inside, I wanted to have the lid close on a lip. This can be done by pre-cutting a rabbet on the box interior and the lip then is formed when the box lid is separated, but too much thinking involved at this point.
These are just thin (1/8") pieces, mitered to length and cut to width to stand about 3/8" over the box bottom.

Glued to the interior (some clamps used)

The tops need a bevel on the front to make it past the arc of the top while being shut. The sides can also benefit from a slight bevel.

Tape protects the wood below while a small plane is used to the deed.

Interior contains two trays.
These are made from 1/4" cherry.
Basic dado and lap joinery, pieces are cut.

Some burning. only you and me will know 🤫

Epoxy used here in a staged assembly and my granite plate to keep things flush and flat.

1/8" fabric covered plywood used for the tray bottoms, cherry veneer to hide the plywood. I used flat head copper rivets in strategic locations for strength, the wood screws hold the lift knob in place

1/8" roundover to tame the top edges. The 1/4" diameter guide bearing lets the radius get into the corners.

Top tray gets ring rolls on each side, center lift is a scrap of twisted wire inlay I used on another project.

Other tray is just sectioned space.

Corner blocks keep the trays from making it to the bottom of the box, leaving a third storage level.

Well, that's the skinny. If you made it this far, I'm soooo sorry! 🤠

A simple box is never simple when I get to thinking.

Questions/comments most welcomed!
