Cryptex Puzzle Box #2, USAF Edition

Integrity First! Very cool and intriguing! I love it!

This is truly awesome, out of curiosity did you use the plans from Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts to make this? Looks to be of similar design.

I confess, I am not sure what that is- a coding machine? But, it looks very nice and nicely made too.

Jim55 google cryptex. Its a puzzle box, they have dials each containing all 26 letters of the alphabet. When the proper word is spelled by rotating the dials, the box pulls open and has a compartment inside.

Keep in mind this particular box has 9 letter dials… This means 5,429,503,678,976 possible combinations… Yes, thats right, over 5.4 TRILLION lol.

Hey WMD2006. Do you have the build plans? I want to make one for the commandant of the Marine Corps. I can design one on my own but want to see how to build the locking mechanism because I would just make one that could be out like a masterlock.

BBL, The plans came from Scrollsawer magazine. They’ve got the PDF available on their website:

More recently I built a version using segmented rings and posted it to Instructables:

Since I used staves for the vault I was able to make it a little bigger. Good Luck!
