Description

NOTE: I have solved and reset this puzzle several times recently.  The mechanism is sticky and does not fully operate as I would expect.  Perhaps some of the issues can be fixed with a bit of sanding?  Still, it's a beautiful piece of woodworking in otherwise good condition.

This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2014. It is very difficult to convey ones feeling in a letter. Even after completing the letter, you may decide not to actually send it. If ones true feelings are conveyed even through the distance, surely the receivers heart grows fonder as well.

This is a fantastic sequential movement puzzle box which just keeps on giving. Designed and created by the amazing Lee Krasnow and exchanged by Keith Jackson in IPP 41.First of all, the build quality is unmatched. The top/bottom plates are 3D printed but hard to believe! Secondly, it has interchangeable maze sets internally. This copy comes with five mazes (one installed and four inside the box).The puzzle has many steps - opening the box, freeing the coin, freeing the maze sets. Then you get to...
