Lock Box
From the Cubic Disection Web site:Lock Box is a sequential discovery puzzle box. Its simple appearance hides a very complex mechanical mechanism that requires multiple discoveries to open. No gravity moves, spinning, tapping, banging or force is necessary or allowed.I think this is one of my best designs to date. Multiple steps and discoveries are required, with knowledge of the mechanism coming in stages until the box finally opens to reveal its prize.

Bannas by Jon Keegan
Copy 134/225 of Bannas by Jon Keegan. What a fun, complex SD puzzle to solve! Your goal is to free then feed the monkey. This is a heavy puzzle that comes in the original wooden "Live Animals. Handle with Care" crate. Microfiber cloth, metal instruction card and extra monkey are included. This is a difficult (for me) solve with many different mechanisms to navigate through with a very rewarding finale.Minor, unavoidable blemishes due to the solving process.Winning bidder pays shipping.
