Upon inspection Topless Box immediately presents a conundrum: with two lids and no top or bottom, how can it be opened? Where do you even begin?
The mechanism may be deduced without the use of external tools. No bumping, banging, shaking, spinning, gravity moves, or excessive force is necessary or allowed. Once opened, the elegant mechanism is visible to the solver, and you'll want to pop it open again and again just to feel the smooth fit of the pieces.
This batch of Topless Box was constructed from quartersawn Sapele for the sides, with the bottom and bottom lid panels made of smooth figured maple and bright orange padauk.
