Here is another 12 step puzzle box. All six side panels are cut with beveled edges, so that when the cube is assembled, it’s impossible to tell which side you’re looking at. In common with Cubey, there is only one sliding outer panel for each side, but in this case, every outer panel has to be movedtwice to get the lid off. There is a sequence of six moves which takes you back to where you started, and the same sequence has to be gone through again, making a total of twelve moves. Plan can be found here Last picture shows interlocking internal parts before assembling.

Nice box; and, reasonable too :-)) Most of the puzzle boxes I see are 25 moves or more :-((

nice job, i had this website bookmarked before but i thought it would be hard for me to follow the directions on how to make a box. This time i think i’ll give it a shot, thanks for the inspiration.
