Up To Snuff Cigar Box Puzzle

I do love boxes, the mystery ever present as to what is in them, hmmm.

I also really enjoy finding interesting boxes to upgrade into puzzle boxes.  The way I see it, this way I don't have to begin with making the box itself, but get right into retrofitting an existing one.

When I find these brand new and empty cigar boxes at cigar shops I usually get them for a donation to the local Humane Society, seems like a good trade. 

I might have went over board with all the intensity happening inside but it was fun.

When I completely fill an interior like this I call this level of mechanics a 'Stem to Stern' design.  Some puzzle boxes are left with useable space inside, I am too much of a rebel for that it seems, ha.

Hmm, what kind of box will I find next?

Kel, that is neat. I see some of the internal workings, but I am sure I'm missing something. Looks like you have one of those devious minds.

Hey thanks Eric, ya, still lots hidden from view. 

Devious? …maybe, …might have had a younger brother always getting into my stuff, lol, necessity really is the mother of invention.  Then I found that there was a market for it, life changing moment.  🙏
