If you make your own puzzle box, I would love to see pictures! Be sure to tag me on Instagram @morleykert and use the hashtag #ArtDecoPuzzleBox

Feel free to modify this design and add your own customization - a sweet paint job, different lid inlay, other art deco elements, or even make the puzzle box on a CNC or laser cutter!

This project is my entry into the Because We Make "Unwrap a Project" Challenge, put on by Vincent Ferrari and Ethan Carter!
https://www.becausewemake.com/unwrapa...

The challenge is to create an original toy or game, incorporating two words from a list of six random generated words. I chose the following two words:

DECOROUS - (adj.) Marked by propriety and good taste.
This word kept running through my mind while I was designing the puzzle box in Fusion 360. When I think decorous, I think of a stuffy, fancy old man with a monocle. A fancy puzzle box would fit perfectly into a "decorous" lifestyle, perhaps in an opulent Long Island mansion?
And while the "Deco" in Art Deco doesn't stand for Decorous, I thought that lined up nicely as well :)

SCINTILLATING - (adj.) 1. Sparkling or shining brightly
2. Brilliantly and excitingly clever or skillful
I like how both definitions of "scintillating" fit the puzzle box. The beam motifs and the suns on the sides of the box are to evoke a sense of "sparkling or shining brightly". And, at the risk of tooting my own horn, I like to think that this puzzle box is brilliantly and excitingly clever.

Thanks for watching :)
