I have always been intrigued by furniture with secret compartments and puzzle boxes. This look very cool!

Locomotive Puzzle Box Done
Finished...Photos: One-Completed Project, Two-Push dowel in to release smoke stack, Three-Lift smoke stack up to release boiler, Four-rotate boiler aside to allow cab to move, Five-slide cab forward to release base, Six- rotate cab base to expose box inside, surprise!, seven-pull up on interior end of box to release the hidden cow catcher drawer, eight-nine-pull out cow catcher to open hidden drawer.
Drawings are not labeled or dimensioned, but they are 8-1/2 x 11 sheets and are 1/2 scale. If anyone realllllly wants to build this I can produce a dimensioned drawing.
Photos in post are not in order...top row-eight, five, four, nine, bottom row-one, seven, six, three (two in the next post as you can only post 8 photos per post)...I have no idea how the attachment manager assembles these....

OK so I can only attach 8 photos per post....and why are pdf's photo reversed in the thumbnail? The pdf file does read correctly if downloaded.

Very cool. What are you going to hide in there?

Band Saw Box Done
Shellac is my new most favorite finish. Used Zinser Shellac. Brushes on smooth and dries fast.
Two top drawers have false bottoms. Lift ribbon to expose hidden space below. The purple flocking worked pretty well...a little messy to apply, but looks good.

The locomotive puzzel box will be a christmas gift for my 3 yr old grandson and the treasure box is a christmas present for the new grand daughter.

Very nice, they will make awesome gifts.
