#trickbox

When spending the weekend at a craft show, nice to have something to do. Got these three 21-step Japanese-style puzzle boxes almost finished. Brought along a selection of hand tools and doing the final tune. And wax. Two done, one to good. . . #woodwork #woodworking #puzzle #puzzlebox #woodenpuzzle #trick #trickbox #secrectbox #yosegi #yosegizaiku #borromeanrings #checkerboard #checkerboardpattern #weave #weavepattern #handmade #yesiAMtheartist #PGCFineCraftFair #paguildmasterartisan (at Rittenhouse Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4TsIVAVld/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xsos36zkvqjc

This is a video of the box mechanism working! Schmooze!

I made this Bubinga box for my friend. It’s for acupuncture needles. The locking mechanism is a dowel in a sliding dovetail tab, running in an angled dado in the drawer side. The drawer bottom is made of Taiwanese Cypress, which is very fragrant, with a hint of lemon. Making small boxes like this is really fun. Especially with Bubinga, since I can make boxes with extremely thin walled stock.

The two logic boards for the nine-drawer trick chest I'm finishing up. Presently working on designing the solution. This will determine where notches go on the long horizontal rods. #woodwork #woodworking #trick #puzzle #mechanicalpuzzle #woodenpuzzle #puzzlebox #puzzlechest #trickchest #trickbox #mechanicalcomputer #finitestatemachine #paulownia (at Silver Spring, Maryland)

Special Japanese-style puzzle box, completed.

In the home stretch for this version of my Ada series of puzzle chests. #woodworking #wood #woodwork #yosegi #puzzlebox #trickbox #trickchest #puzzlechest #mechanicalpuzzle #woodenpuzzle #chest #tansu #colorful #decorative #geometricart #geometric #patterns #tiling (at Silver Spring, Maryland)

The puzzle boxes, waiting for me to have the courage for the final glue-up. Once that is done, if I haven’t tuned the mechanism right, they could get jammed shut. I better check a few dozen more times beforehand. At least then I can get it the point where I can remove the blue tape (@bornjesse) and see the Yosegi in its full glory. #woodenpuzzle #woodwork #woodworking #puzzlebox #trickbox #borromeanrings #weavepattern #checkerboardpattern #kikkou #yosegizaiku #yosegi #handmade #handmadepuzzle #wip #imadethis (at Silver Spring, Maryland)
