Lost Art Cigar Box Puzzle - Kel Snake
I do love finding a cool cigar box to retrofit that has the name for it already on the box.
This one is called Lost Art, and seemed appropriate for a mechanical puzzle box.
It's not often I show pics inside of all the mechanisms, but I figured if my boring first picture lured ya in then you earned it, lol.
Often the challenge is to fill the inside of the box with mechanisms as well as red herrings, ..and dials that you think you understand how they work, but they have a whole other function, love doing that!
Is it a job if it's this much fun?

Nicely done!
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Thanks for sharing the photo of the internals. Everything is so precise and orderly and appealing to the eye.
Are those gears functional or just eye candy?
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
Wow...what an awesome mechanism!!!
Well done, and you have a devious mind.
I need to try one someday.

Hey thanks Guys!
Yes, the gears in this case are just added eye candy that kind of suits the theme, kinda.
Ya, we need more devious minds, its a small crew out here, lots of crickets, lol.

Fine way to keep your top shelf stogies safe or at least cut back on consumption 🤠
Very medieval looking interior, like an ancient chamber protecting some talisman.
You are the master!

This looks so cool. Crafting this must be so much fun (as you even said as much). You have a real skill. I could not tell you looking at the insides how it works, which is the whole point! Love it!
Good to see you are still knocking out those puzzle boxes. I really like this one.
Hey thanks guys, well, like my hero once said, 'if the women don't find ya handsome, then they should at least find you handy". Red Green
Sadly, women just aren't into puzzles, maybe its because they don't like competition, lol.

Not bragging, but all (allbeit few) my ladies loved a puzzle... once solved they became ex's.

I love all your stuff, I wish I knew how some of it worked, but you are the master and I'll leave it at that.

Hey thanks awsum55,
You know, there is only a small handful of folks doing this, it is a genre begging for fresh perspectives and talents. Happily I teach this to folks too. Contact me if you want to know how easy (and cheap) it is to get started.
Create a super day!

This looks like a fun one! It looks like it would take a while to solve.
Hey thanks Steve, I think the guy said it took two hours, lol.
