A little while back Dragon carver posted a site with puzzle boxes and I had to give it a try I used the Medieval Casket plans with 3/16” ply wood and modified all the measurements and added my own touch to finished design with some carvings.
Was a great project for learning woodcraft skills.

Wow what a great looking project. Nice finish
Do you plan on making anymore? Did you use the CC to do the cut out work on the internal pieces.

Great job! (What's the Dragon's website URL?)

Nevermind - I found it - it's not Dragoncarver's website, though, it's one he had posted a link for...http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bruce.viney/index.html

(Search was my friend!)

Well done!

I'm working on the puzzle blocks and sometime later planned on trying one of the puzzle boxes. Getting the blocks in near perfect cubes is hard and then glueing them in a straight line :) I made one but there are gaps between some parts so I'm trying to perfect it.

No problem. I think it leads to the same site. I haven't checked out the link you posted yet.

Opps Thanks for the correction Michael to often I leave out key words
Oldjoe, I cut the internal parts with a band saw But with the new 1/16” cutting bit and version 1.131 cut path abilities I would like to try and lay out a mpc file and give it a try.
Kevin, I know what you mean, things need to fit near perfect and the file set was handy for adjustments also have a scrap pile of mistakes.
Thanks to Bruce Viney for the plans at www.homemadepuzzles.co.uk and Dragoncarver for posting the link.

Thank you Tom and all that have enjoyed
Cheers to you
