Cabinet Progressing

I drilled holes and rough-cut rectangles for the controls in the counter top. Here's a test-fit of the controls in the right corner:


I'm not crazy about the look of the controls on the granite-like finish of the countertop. I might paint a fancy design on the front 6 inches.

I need to make a jig for my router to do the finish cut on the rectangle cut-out that will hold the DRO. It's critical that I get this right, because there is no overlap, it's a flush fit. Here are a couple shots of the full cabinet design. This is done in SketchUp. 



I'm working on the cut list. It looks like it will take almost 1 1/2 sheets of MDF. I was hoping to do it with one sheet, but the drawers add quite a bit.
