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.

This slightly modified version from the Pelikan Workshops is a very fine example of both the design and precision woodworking.The level of difficulty is kept to medium because some of the pieces take on the obvious form of an elephant....

Permuted Third Stellation (STC 50-B)
Six dissimilar pieces assemble into the Permuted Third Stellation. A Coffin design, described in PWBP but he never made any of these commercially. I believe, but am not 100% certain, that this one may have been made by Bertrand Portevin. It is one tricky puzzle. The fit is slightly loose however the puzzle assembles perfectly into both possible solutions.. I didn't intend to disassemble this one, until I took one step too far, looking for a signature. There are no markings I could detect hence m...
