Making one from mahogany but it'll be a one off. Not for sale. And it will come in under $100.

Sounds heavy. But beautiful. I hope you're documenting the build. At least I'd like to see it come together.

Hand cut dovetailed box, right?

The fact that the Delta Cart is quite often on backorder tells me that the price point is not a problem. I have been rolling the 11 for about a year now and love it.

It's often faster than setting up the jigs.. well, for a single box (or drawer)...

It will be heavy. I'll probably only bring it out for special events and tournaments just to show off a little. It definitely won't be an every day cart.

So do I, still faster by and for a single box.

True. I might just do finger joints, it'll look almost as good and be a lot easier. And I also might use cherry instead, I have enough for a cart whereas I would have to buy the mahogany.
I've been kicking a similar idea around for a while, but I keep going back to cedar for the lighter weight. I also don't own machinery, so I'm procrastinating a bit thinking of working all the cedar with hand tools.
I'm also unsure if I want a fully boxed in cart, or something that I could put a backpack on/in.

I'm still not sure what I'll do either. I have too many ideas in my head right now. I'm mainly trying to figure out how to make it lighter.

Does anyone have a side by side photo of these two yet to show the height of the seat on each?

Nvm, page 3....duh
They've been a huge hit in Europe from my understanding. I don't think their presence in the Americas is as potent as it is there.
I was told that 16 Cubus carts are on their way to DiscsUnlimited.com (Kansas I believe). Otherwise they can be ordered from their German website.
There's two parts to the handle. Bottom half & top half that's adjustable at the top. The top half should have a swivel handle that you can tighten/untighten to add or remove.
My biggest grip with my Cubus is the lid. I removed the two plastic wheel fixtures from the bottom of the lid so I don't have to snap/unsnap it everytime. Looking to get some weather stripping to add along the sides so the lid can land softly & quietly.
Maybe add a picture of what you're describing. It would be good to have another Cubus owner to go back & forth with on here.
