I just spent the last couple of weeks tinkering around with this… a Companion Cube from the video game Portal. It’s made from quarter inch plywood with laser cut oak veneer for the surface detail.
The locking mechanism is basically identical to this project.

Steve Hobley works for a software company, but in his spare time likes to deconstruct all the lovely consumer goods with a goal to make unique and interesting things.
A few years ago he posted a short clip of the laser harp he developed, solely to show friends back in the UK.
Automagically that one clip got picked up by Gizmodo, Engadget and a bunch of other tech journals. The end result (apart from a ton of views on Youtube) was to get hired as a consultant for Little Boots – creating a laser harp for her 2010 US tour.

I’m making a note here… HUGE success. That’s stunning! Well done!! I love the detail!
My son is getting married on Dec, 30, 2015. He had asked me to make this exact box as his ringbox for the wedding. Would you consider making another one and selling it to me. If that’s not an option, would you help me make one?
