Two identical cutlery boxes which fit into one drawer.

Hello Alfred. I have drawn a sketch of the same. Let me know if it is in line with your idea. Thanks.

Hello Alfred.
I have drawn and attached a sketch of the same. Let me know if it is in line with your idea. Also, what material would you like for your trays and upon finishing, do you prefer oil or vanish?
Regards,
Ryan

Hello Alfred,
My name is lucas and due to personal reasons, I'll be taking over this request from Ryan. I've been thoroughly debriefed and I understand your specifics. From your interest in dark wood, I'd highly recommend mahogany which is of highest quality. I've indicated the prices of the costs of the material and labour. Let me know what your way forward is so that I can begin realization as soon as possible.
Regards,
Lucas.

Hello Alfred,

Apologies for the delay. I have completed the outside dimensions of 340*300mm. I have a concern that's just arised though. The internal measurements you've given of 115*115*80, if you subtract that from 340mm all you have left is 30mm. Ideally, I would divide this into two to get the thickness of the internal compartments which is 15mm each.
But if you are to add this when making each compartments at a time, the last compartment will only be about 78mm. I began with the 80mm then onto the thickness of 15mm then onto 115mm then a thickness of 15mm but as I was measuring the last compartment, it came to only 78mm contrary to the 115 mm that we expected. Please advice me on what to do as the external measurements are already complete.

Regards,
Lucas

Hello Alfred,
Many apologies for the delay. Hope you are well. I'm finishing the first tray. The glue is now drying up. Find attached Photos and videos of the process. I used a thickness of 10mm all round as 5mm would have been a bit too thin of I'd advice.
i'd previously used 20mm which made it too thick and I had to go back and restart and this took a bit longer to finish hence the late response. I've attached photos of the same to show the variations between the two. The final box though has the outer dimensions as 340*300mm as stated. Compartments are 115*115*68mm though this may be because of the thickness used. Will that be an issue? I'll be fixing the bottom part of the tray tomorrow.

Also I just realized that I might have made a mistake when making my quote for the trays.i quoted one instead of two. If you could refer to previous trays that I've done, you'll see the difference eg Cutlery box with the outer dimensions…26x21x4 cm made of wood (dark) https://www.urbanchangelab.com/cutlery-box-with-the-outer-dimensions-26x21x4-cm-made-of-wood-dark/

Three cutlery boxes https://www.urbanchangelab.com/three-cutlery-boxes/

If you'll be okay with this, I'd request that you send another 43.13€

If this will not be possible, I have relayed the same information to the Urban Change lab and I and Urban Change Lab will take full responsibility for this to cover the cost.

Regards,
Lucas.

Hi Alfred,

Thank you for your response. The tray is complete. I'm not sure about Africans but I'm a true Luo 😊. I deliver Swiss precision and I'm sure you'll love what I have done (find attached videos) I'm yet to do final touches with varnish.
Unfortunately, with the amount of labor put into this product including the cost of Mahogany which is of highest quality, it will be difficult to go any further below the already indicated price of 43.13€

Kindly let me know what your way forward is.
Regards,
Lucas.

Hi Alfred,
Thank you for the feedback. I understand your concerns. Please find attached photos and a video of the first box. I hope you like it. I'm getting ready to source the materials for the second.
How do you propose we proceed? As I said the costs will be covered by the Urban Change Lab if you aren't comfortable with this as the fault was on my end when making the quote. Will you be sending the other 43,13€? I'd just like a confirmation on that kindly.

Sincerely,
Lucas.

Hello Alfred
The trays are finished. Find attached a photo of it
The next step would be to have it go through a quality check from Urban Change Lab and have it shipped to you
Thank you for the opportunity. I enjoyed realizing the product and I hope you like it

Lucas
