Puzzle Box Origin https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/puzzles/puzzle-box1.htm

"The Japanese are credited with creating the first puzzle boxes in the early- to mid-19th century in Japan's Hakone region, just south of Tokyo. Dubbed Himitsu-Bako, or personal secret box, they were marketed to people traveling by carriage as a way to hide their valuables from highway robbers. Robbers typically overlooked the boxes, which appeared to be merely ornamental objects".

"In order to open a Japanese Puzzle Box, you need to move/slide one part (or more) on one side of the box. This action will allow other parts on other sides of the box to be moved too and so forth, so basically each part that is being moved is partially unlocking other parts of the box which allows them to move, until the right combination is reached and the box is opened."

This is a team project, but with individual reports.  The expectation is a shared responsibility for its completion. Included in the individual report will be the assessment of each team member’s performance. Hand tools are preferred but the group may use the Rochwell table saw if necessary (additional training required before use).

Task

Each group will review at least five videos from the list (Include which videos were considered).

Submit the group’s selected video for approval by instructor.

Upon approval, create a dimensioned drawing of the box (listing all the materials needed).

A bill of materials must be approved before construction can begin (depending on material availability design may be modified).
