Boys and Girls,
 
That Pottzy keeps pushing his bowls down my throat with a greater fervour than his admonishment of my penchant towards Fe$tool… so in retribution, I thought I’d follow up my previous puzzle with this double threat treat.
 
I am using the title as a name for the puzzle that seems to be colloquially tagged as a Japanese Puzzle Box… any confusion is mine.
 
Unfortunately I came upon this design on the cusp of the LJ upgrade debacle and I decided not to post in and didn’t take my normal quantity of  build pictures, however, I did make a couple of videos (linked below).
 
The “original” puzzle was plagiarised from this WEB site, (in particular, tagged Japanese Puzzle Box) and after following the bouncing ball, tracked down this document, which I imported into SketchUp,


Then it was off to the laser through Coreldraw (to create the graphics for engraving), to cut the pieces to be laminated, engraved and Timbermate backfilled,
and eventually assembled,
 
All my files can be accessed for download here.
 
These are the various videos I made of this puzzle,
1.     Japanese Puzzle Box, Part 1 (Architecture)

2.     Japanese Puzzle Box, Part 2 (SketchUp Animation)

3.     Japanese Puzzle Box, Part 3 (Build... sort of)

4.     Japanese Puzzle Box, Part 4 (Solution)


Thanks for looking... and wipe that puzzled look off your face.
 

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Very clever of you again Ducky, but which animals/cartoon figures are meant to represent whom sir 🤔😁

Each box/puzzle has the same theme/genre, just different poses on each face.

Can't remember how many I've made in the past... these are just what's left over... they were desired, but I have a 1 freebie per customer policy... and they like another better.
