A neighbor asked me to create a barber shop box to hold his shavers and barber tools. He wanted slots in the box to have the cords be able to come out and he wanted a drawer in it. The final requests included a custom size, a basic graphic he provided and something that was lockable. I used the box generator (http://boxdesigner.connectionlab.org) and cut the pieces of pine with the X-carve and completed the graphic engraving with my jtech 2.8w laser and picengrave software. I found the joints too tight so had a lot of sanding to make the joints fit better. Even then I still had gaps and some cracks in the wood trying to get the pieces together. Many imperfections in this but the neighbor was quite happy with his box. I used some leather (purchased off of ebay) on top that was used to sharpen/clean the straight edge razors and a shaver brush (amazon) as the drawer knob. The lock is an ‘antique Chinese butterfly lock’ found pretty cheap on amazon.com.
I think it came out great
That looks really great. It reminds me of a sailors chest. If you replace ‘many imperfections’ with ‘lots of character’ then your decription would be more accurate! lovely job.
I like it. How much did you charge, and how much should you have charged? 
Materials came out to $114.29 total. I did have some extra pine afterwards. I charged him $114.29 as I was not expecting to charge for labor. He gave me $185 without flinching…
Awesome. I asked because I find myself always undercharging for friends.
Nice. There looks like there may be a drawer lock too? The rod in the back?
If so what did you use?
I do a 40% friends and prototype discount. -20% for all the flaws in a first attempt, -20% for friends.
(Not that I have sold more than 2 things, but that is what I came up with 
)
It was a surface bolt. It was used for locking the drawer in place.
