Pox Box by Yavuz Demirhan

This puzzle was Designed and Crafted by Yavuz, initially I wasn’t sure but did receive confirmation from Yavuz.

What is really surprising about this diminutive four piece design is the 17 moves required to remove the second piece, very well done Yavuz.

Eric made a run of 45 in 2017 and really went all out on the box with mitered joints and even added slipfeathers!

Here’s his description from Cubicdissection:

“I’ve been thinking about making Pox Box for a while, and was waiting for a time when I could give it the attention it deserves in the workshop. Such a simple design belies how tricky it is to solve...with a level 7.14.7 solution, it's no pushover. I decided on a box with mitered and splined joinery all the way around, and veneered tops on the pieces. Painstaking and time consuming, it was all worth it...the result is gorgeous! This is one puzzle that really catches your eye and is as much fun to solve as the appearance promises.”
