Nice work. I prefer the feet that were used on the original 1760 spice box featured in the Jan-Feb 1994 issue of American Woodworker. I studied those plans a long time and when Steve's plans were featured in FW#196 Feb 2008. I decided it was time to get started. Only problem was I did not have room for one full size. Sooo-- I divided every measurement by 2 and created one half size. Started it 8-27-09 and finished it 9-16-09. I too had problems with hardware. The best I could do was to turn the knobs out of scrap corean left over from the sink and stove top cut-outs from my kitchen remodling. The lock had to be modified and I am still fiddling with it.
Good Luck and enjoy the task, I did!
