We've got a new project video out today and it's definitely one of our favorites! We used a beautiful piece of Bocote (exotic hardwood) and made a PUZZLE BOX that holds your dice!

This is our first go at making a "puzzle box" and we're super proud of how it came out! Let us know if you were able to solve it before we reveal it at the end. :)

Dungeons and Dragons Puzzle Box - The ULTIMATE Dice Vault!

Jay and Jaimie make a DnD-themed puzzle box/dice vault!

We thought it would be awesome to combine the two into the Ultimate Puzzle Box Dice Vault, and turn the 'Vault' part into something real! This box is made from solid bocote and it automatically locks when you close it. It doesn't open unless you know the secret trick, so your dice are protected from those tainted hands that who will do anything to curse your next roll. :) The silver dragon adorning the box pays homage to our favorite game, Dungeons and Dragons (or Game of Thrones, if you're so inclined). There are some amazing Dice Vault designs online and we got super inspired to make one ourselves. We also did a lot of research into how to make a magnetic puzzle box, and here are some of the things we found that helped us out: - https://www.instructables.com/id/SECRET-MAGNETIC-LOCK-DRAWER/ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHC7-bbe_qQ - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZ4plJK1KkSqRBYps3rNww - https://www.youtube.com/user/MrTricksforfun If you make a dice vault, please send us some pictures!

Awesome to see you again, Ted! Yeah...with those expensive woods it’s tough to say if you’d ever shake that fear. I expect not 😄 But hey, if you want to make nice stuff you’ve got to take some risks I suppose. Thanks again for swinging by the booth.
