Most of the work on this box is on the inside. Once solved, the mechanism is completely visable, although it cannot be modified or misaligned in any way. I thought about showing pictures of the mechanism but unfortunately it would give away too much. As the materials imply, there are many parts inside the box that were hand machined from solid stock, as well as high precision components purchased fro mindustrial sources.

The box is finished with laquer and then hand waxed and buffed to give the paduak a very nice shine with depth which glimmers when you rotate the box.

There is a clue engraved in the bottom of the box to help you on your way. Each box is signed. Thanks to George Miller for helping fabricate some of the internals on his laser cutter.

This design won a first prize award in the IPP28 Design Competition.
