Benno Baatsen (Benno de Grote) - Windmill (2021)
number 9 of an unknown number made
from Benno's description:
This is The Windmill puzzle box. The farmer has lost his flour stock! Can you help him find it? In order to do so you will have to navigate your way through multiple compartments in a sequential discovery way. Be warned! This box is a real challenge, but the people who tried this box loved every frustrating second of it.
There are multiple reasons why I like this one so much. The first reason being that it’s a sequential discovery puzzle. Some time ago I made the small cabin which was also a sequential discovery box. Before then I had limited experience with making these kinds of boxes. I got lots of positive feedback on the sequential discovery part. When opening the small cabin it felt really satisfying to end up with a table full of parts. I took all the things I liked about the small cabin and put them in the Windmill.
The box uses Birch wood for the main structure and the outside of the is Beech and Walnut veneer. The box also uses two different kinds of magnets.
this is a fun puzzle, and the little things you find along the way are sometimes very funny.
