Elevator Down wooden SD, Box #1

The elevator is stuck between floors. The goal is to get the elevator car door open and find the initials.

This is an SD with the goal of introducing one or two new solves that have not been used before in puzzle boxes. There are at least seven steps. The most common difficulty rating, from experienced puzzlers that tested it, is 3.5 out of 5.

The final product is mainly Jatoba and Monkey Pod, with accents in Bubinga, Maple, and Oak.

The Elevator box is approx. 3” x 2.75” x 5.5” tall (7.6 cm x 7 cm x 14 cm tall).

Please do not send funds until I send you a final invoice that includes the calculated shipping cost.  

Each box is numbered and comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity. This is box #1 of 9 (currently). There is a commitment not to produce more than 99. However, due to the significant amount of time to produce these and the fact that I am in the process of producing a different SD, I do not currently anticipate producing more in the future... but it is a possibility. 

A “thank you” to the 15 to 20 experienced puzzlers who spent time reviewing and providing feedback. Many improvements have been made because of the feedback. A special shout-out to Puzzling Time and DocHitchock for their time and help in ensuring I got my first one right. Puzzling Time even did a “no holds barred” video on a prototype, which can be found at https://youtu.be/3EJ4K0aw418?si=AwdrLmywH7vcE_fp
