Popular Post Wichman Posted June 14, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 A puzzle box with a twist; there's a magnet in the bottom of the hole for the pin, with panel nails in the pin to hold against the magnet. And you need a magic wand to open it. The pin was originally a standard heart, I flattened the heart so I could cut the pin in the shape of a key. Wood: 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inch oak Blades: FD Polar #1 for the pin and sliding dovetail, Polar #5 for the inside void, the outside of the heart shape and to rip the 1/8" bottom. The only tricky part of the puzzle box is the order of cutting must be followed. 1. rip the bottom piece, 2. cut the pin, etc...

barb.j.enders Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 That looks great. Alex Snodgrass did a similar puzzle box in the shape of an apple. A worm was the key and the stem was the magnet to pull the worm out. JessL, BadBob, Scrappile and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wichman Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Barb, Good thing I have a video of one of my boxes time stamped at Jan 2019. I had stopped cutting these because I kept losing the pin, the magnet was put in out of desperation, one day it just hit me, "magnets". barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
