Hadrian's Box

Another sliding panel puzzle box. Only three panels can move, and they don’t have any “secret” sliders. But they must be moved around to get the lid off. There’s no sign of a secret drawer, but there is one, the full length and width of the box, hidden away in the base. Only when the lid is removed, and another four steps made, can the drawer be revealed and taken out. Like Cyrus Redblock, this one takes eleven moves to get the lid off, but is much easier to make.
The size of this box is 4-1/2” by 3” by 2-1/2” and is made from 1/8" wood and plywood.

Now available with the option of hardwood outside pieces in cherry, maple, mahogany or walnut. Shipping for kits with hardwood outsides may be slightly longer depending on the availability of the specified hardwood.

This BH puzzle kit has alignment pegs built into the parts to make assembly easier and virtually every part in the kit is labeled.
