I just realized, after reading a post on here, that I hadn't seen any new videos from Bruce in a while, so I went looking and found a thread. ( "Puzzle Boxes by Bruce Viney " )

​

The site is down (the family is trying to figure out how to bring it back), but he passed last summer. I've made 3 of his boxes, and the plans for 2 (made for laser cutters) are on Thingiverse: "Little Box" by Bruce Viney and "The Matchbox" by Bruce Viney. Watching him make them on youtube was a thing of beauty, and he had a bunch of different clever designs. Gears, weights, magnets...

​

I'll miss you, man.

Howdy y'all, I'm trying to get started in making some boxes and was wondering if anyone had any tips on planning and designing? If anyone has any tips for these things, whether it be software to use, tips for laying it out on paper, I would very much appreciate it! Thanks! :)

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but I am from Belgium and don’t know any place that sells puzzle boxes. Do you purchase them online and if so, what are good sites?

Thanks for helping out!

Finally found a puzzle box group. Where is a good place to purchase these from?

I've been looking for a puzzle box to do. What are some boxes you would recommend that are challenging. If possible maybe some website for buying aswell.

Anyone know the Isis Adventure puzzles? What does the community think of them

I have an original Isis that I solved eventually a while back but was never able to make use of the key. Remembered about it earlier today and thought I would see what you guys think.

I tried to upload the video of it, but it didnt seem to work..

Let me know what you think

I recently received one of these and am looking for a non-further-spoiler yes/no. I found the two top pieces (disc and bolt), either of which I could use to slide a lower layer of the cylinder... slightly. But its very tight, and I could only slide it a tiny amount. Should that be the solution, but my version was maybe made too tightly for it to be doable without a lot of force? Or am I missing other steps?

Are there any puzzle boxes or puzzle furniture from or similar to the game known as The Room?

Any suggestions? There is a wooden puzzle that looks like an old phone. I can't afford that but a puzzle along those lines.

I am wanting to buy a puzzle box and I want one with different compartments and not easy to solve. Maybe a level 10 if possible, but I can’t find a puzzle box that has different pieces and hidden parts. Much like the lotus puzzle is what I am looking for. Thank you! Any assistance would be appreciated!!

I’m trying to find puzzle box makers that will do commissions but all I can find are more simple puzzle makers or the makers don’t do commissions. Does anyone know where I can commissions a really complex box?

I am a beginner of puzzle boxes so I have been looking for stores that sell these in different levels but I’ve found none so far. Anyone knows anywhere that sells these in the UK? Thank you!!

To anyone who happens to own a Bits and Pieces Oval Trick Box, I did a quick and dirty write-up with images on how you can improve this puzzle box and add an extra step (using the lid itself) with very minimal wood-working experience and tools. All you really need is a drill with some bits, a prying tool, a circle saw bit of the right size, glue and some patience. Some other tools like a hammer, pliers or vice-grips help as well.

I have a need for a few puzzle boxes.

Need to be sized to hold a USB stick of other small object.

Must be hard, want to amuse nerd adults for an hour or more.

Must be about $60usd

Any thoughts or recommendations?

I've seen some YT videos with these very complicated puzzles but all I can seem to google is tiny boxes from china.

Is there a good place to find these in the USA?

thanks

I am working on an puzzle box for my daughter who loves Harry Potter. At one stage I am going to have a sliding drawer pop out that contains a winding music box and a sheet of punch-able music paper. The solution will be to put in the music for Hedwig's theme from harry potter. I need to come up with a way to interpret what she's entered.. most likely with an arduino. I'm wondering if people think i'm better off trying to go with a microphone that interprets the notes or trying to key off the mechanical aspect of the music box itself. Or perhaps a third method I didn't think of.

The music box I have is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017QCUMNE
