The puzzle box mechanism works like this: A nut connects two threaded bolts. One bolt is affixed to the bottom of a round box, while the second bolt is attached to the top lid. The nut has magnets glued to two outside faces. It can be turned from the outside of the box by using more magnets! When you turn the nut it moves down, eventually releasing the top bolt; and the lid comes free. For the design I tried to hide the outside magnets as much as possible, thus I used a second round box to fit over the first. This box is the ‘tool’ or ‘key’ to open the interior box, and it contains the two hidden magnets.
