Puzzle Box- How to Make 

Thank you, I always watched Chris Ramsay's puzzle channel and thought about making a puzzle box but had no clue where to start. It was really cool because you showed how to make a "spin" puzzle which is alway's his first move :)

You're one of my woodworking heroes :-) Wish I had your skills

I love it, Jack. I just might have to try this one out!

That's fiendishly clever, and very simple to solve once you know how. I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing Jack.

hi i came across your puzzle box while researching for my engineering assignment and i like the design and simplicity of the puzzle mechanism. I might not make this puzzle as i have a couple of other designs i am considering but it is probable that i would choose yours. thank you for the video and the build article on explaining how to make this puzzle box. i will let you know of the outcome if i decide to make your puzzle. thank you for this interesting design.

Pretty cool, Jack! I suspected you were making a centrifugal lock. I like it.

All my respect to you, you remind me in my grandfather when he was in your age and i was 9, i am now 45, but with full passion to woodwork because of him.

Das ist eine ganz, ganz, tolle Zauberkiste. Danke.

Another Masterpiece ! Very COOL indeed !

Nice puzzle box Jack. My brother loves puzzles so this would be a great gift.

I enjoy your projects, they are always ingenious. Have a good time in Atlanta :).

Awesome work Jack! Thanks for sharing!

Nice one Jack! Wish that you had explained how the locking mechanism worked? Steve

great project Jack. see you at the show this weekend.

Wow, that's a great gift idea, thanks for sharing this!

Hi Jack really like your videos thanks for sharing your talents with us. Greetings from Sydney Australia.

excelente idea,te felicito,tienes unas maquinas muy guapas,me gustan todos tus trabajos,sigue asi

Very cool idea!! Like it a lot.

If memory serves me well, Tim Rowett showed a similar box on the Grand Illusion channel. I don't think he explained the mechanism though. Well, now I know how it works :) Thanks Jack, great video, as always, EDIT : OK I was wrong. He did show the box mechanism. Very different from yours in fact.

And the dowel man hits again :D Love your work man :)

Spinning to open is new. Really thinking outside the box there. ;)

Really neat, Jack.

My grandkids will love this

Nice! This gives me an idea. I'll be sure to send you a link if it develops into anything.

😹now I loved that trick thank you for sharing it with us all, this looks like something that could be used to make for a family member as part of their present wrapping 😹😹😹

Pretty cool, Jack!

Awesome!! Wow!!

I was gonna make a boring coffee table but scratch that, this is my mission.

That's a neat mechanism!

nice vid, very enjoyable as always. thanks for sharing.

Hi Jack, that was great..thanks for sharing.

That's pretty tricky! Love it Jack!

Great stuff as always!

i think this is a perfect video just if somebody will have all of those things in home. but great to make something like that. can you make something smaller? thanks

great idea Jack

pretty cool and good video Jack! how did u come up/think of that?

loved the puzzle box. have aquired a broke down Baldwin grand piano and plan on making a book shelf for a family member. any tips you can give on disassembly. I know it's got some amazing wood inside there

Jack, is there a video on that sled. Real nice looking could it do box joints?

A really nice puzzle with a clever solution. Thank you for sharing this! Could you also please point the dimensions of the box ?

jack that is pretty cool.

Sometime I'd like for you to do a video of a 'shop tour'. It appears that it's really small, especially the outfeed side of the table saw - how do you make that work?

Very cool!

Very cleaver Jack! I always look forward to your videos and projects. Great Job again :^)

do the rods have to be brass? would stainless steel work?

great idea👍

That was Great! Thanks

The screws were a nice addition, I haven't seen that before. It looks good though, simpler than the others.

Will I ever be as good as you... I dont think so.

Amazing!

COOL!!!!!

Have you ever seen the old puzzle/trick hook the rubber band cylinder? It's just a circular cylinder with a 1/4 hole all the way through. Plugged at one end with a horseshoe like shape rubber band (oval side facing inside the cylinder) Then a wooden cap with and almost long enough hook piston on the end with the lid end cut to about a 60 degree angle on two sides. The Trick is to show your friends how you can hook the rubber band (but you are just squeezing the tapered lid cap which causes the lid to snap back into the cylinder) which looks as if you've hooked the rubber band. But they don't realize you can physically hook it because the hook is not long enough to hook the band. Haha My grandfather made one as a child and I had never been so aggravated not being able to do something until he finally told me when I was 12 the secret.

very cool thanks

for some reason i wasn't notified that you uploaded a new video.. sometimes i wonder about youtube

forgot to ask - was this your own design?

Wow that was actually pretty cool thank you for sharing 😊

We can buy this box?

U have a sole?

Are you going to take that box with you to the tavern when you feel like a pint? ;) lol

If you put the box on one end the rods would slid down and then you would be able to open the box!. Yes or no

why would anyone give this a thumb down????

cool

I am ashleis son and my name is dawson. You need to tell us how it works before you build it

Man, I hate to say it... but every time I watch one of your videos I see at least one instance of a close call with safety. You have to be careful, wood jumping on the table saw isn't good.

you didn't really demonstrate how the locking mechanism works
