One of Robert’s earlier puzzle box creations was the Snowflake Box that I was completely enthralled by and even knocked off a couple of versions back in the day. Of course now Robert has created this masterpiece and in typical Stickman fashion has decided to bump things up both in complexity and materials by enlisting the expertise of Lewis to create these in resin. The key addition to this very cool design is the ‘Gem’ inside that creates a whole new solve experience that is quite unique!
Here’s Robert’s description:
“This 7-piece interlocking puzzle is not for the faint of heart. It can be extremely challenging to solve, (8 out of 10 in difficulty), and requires a minimum of at least 23 steps to fully assemble. Puzzle measures 2" (5 cm) cubed. It and internal gems are constructed of cast resin.
For those fortunate enough to have a Stickman Snowflake, this puzzle is somewhat similar, in that it shares a few of its sequential steps. The Snowflake, however, requires 6 steps to open from its fully assembled position, while the Golem Heart requires 14.”
I have decided to make a box to store both of my copies using Ambrosia Maple with Makore Top, Bottom and Sleeve and Walnut Slipfeathers.
