I've been fiddling with this in my spare time (early mornings before work, usually) for a few days.
I had an off-cut of some decent plywood. It's not true BB, but somewhat of a copy.
Since I have always liked the look of the rabbet/tongue and dado, I use it when I can. I do drawer boxes and stuff like that, for myself mostly.
That lends itself to this type of case, pretty well. I just need to add a back, though ultimately, it won't be necessary. Now it sits on my miter saw stand, but eventually will be on a french cleat wall at home. There is won't need a back.
Today, I got out the Origin and made a cut-out in the shelves, as grab spaces. One of the guys in the shop said it looked like a cookie monster bite. I left the top un-cut, to be useable space as a shelf for something else later.
I thought this was going to be quick and easy, since I already have this pattern, from cutting board hand-holds. It didn't work out so well though. There was a pretty big storm last night, which took out the power for a while. There is a fairly sophisticated interrupter unit, that usually handles that easily. A simple re-set makes everything go again. This time, not so much. The dust collection system was not happy, but a call to the service people got that sorted.
The bad part was the server. It didn't want to re-start properly, so no Wi-Fi. Origin was not happy about that, so I drew out the circles from memory, with the on-board tools. It worked, but took some extra fiddling. I also made a template version, so I can repeat it with any router.
