There are no magnets, no banging required, no force needed. Along the way you may at first think there’s dexterity involved to solve it. But dexterity can be almost eliminated by using some of the parts supplied with the puzzle. Brian definitely took longer to put it back together than taking it apart; even though by that time you can see all the parts before you.
The lock is spring-loaded so Wil warns to take care of the “Spring” and the “Wanderer”. Is this a useful hint? We doubt that, knowing Wil!
The lock is milled from solid polished aluminium. Very substantial and quite heavy. The puzzle is polished and very shiny. If you hold the lock to the light at the right angle it is possible to see some of the original milling marks. But recently we found that the cardboard box they are packaged in may also be causing some scratching on the puzzle. We have removed the puzzles from their boxes, buffed them again, wrapped them in tissue, and reboxed them. But some marks are still visible. This is how they came from Wil and this is the only stock I have.
I’ve tried to take a photo with a bright light of the lock showing some of these marks. They are fine but I think you can even see them in the main photo.
The lock is engraved with Wil’s signature.
