My take on making a nontraditional puzzle box. It's made from maple using box joints and slotted keys.

  • how does the back one block the front one from moving?

  • @casjahnke1234

    The back one only slides left and right. It does not slide forward with the bottom. So you have to slide it over to unlock the bottom and allow it to slide forward.

  • i want one of these so bad D: but idk where i can buy these type boxes for cheap and im not good with wood working so idk how to make one

  • @quintonbob I don't know where you'd buy one either, haha.  I'm sure something like it exists out there somewhere but I couldn't find it so I built it. There aren't a whole lot of non-traditional puzzle boxes out there that I know of. Lots of one-offs (read expensive), but not many I know of that are mass produced. The only way to become good at wood working is to keep trying! This box took about $8-10 in wood and a couple dollars in finishing supplies. The tools were more of course.

  • dude if you end up proposing you need to do it with a puzzle box she would never even think of it if you give her lots of them

  • very nice. a very thoughtful gift. good thing you left these instructions just in case your girlfriend decides to poison you and tries to hide the evidence.

  • Nice job, bro.I don't know if you intended it but it's really a puzzle box twice. 1) a puzzle to open and 2) a puzzle to copy :)
