4 sun 27 steps box
Today, I was able to work on the painting process for the 3-sun cube puzzle boxes and the Mame puzzle boxes. It’s still the base coating, but reaching this stage gives me some peace of mind knowing the boxes are now slightly protected (photo). Once a coat of paint is applied, it prevents the surface of the puzzle boxes from drying out, allowing me to store them as they are without needing to secure them with rubber bands. There is still one more step in the painting process, but for now, I will store them in a humidity-controlled case.
For now, I’ve decided to pause work on the boxes I’ve been making and start production on the 4-sun 27-step puzzle boxes. These are for the Christmas sale, and I plan to make about 50 of this popular 4-sun size with 27 steps. Unlike the ones I’ve made before, the top panel will feature a traditional Yosegi design, while the bottom panel will use a striped pattern. This striped pattern was prepared earlier specifically for 4-sun boxes, and I had been waiting for the right opportunity to use it. Even after using some for this batch, I’ll still have more left, so I may use it again in future projects.
For the side panels, I’ve chosen the familiar Ichimatsu Yosegi design (photo). Today, I prepared the panels and attached them. As I’ve mentioned many times before, drying the side panels properly is crucial. They need to be attached first and stacked in a grid pattern to dry thoroughly. Tomorrow, I’ll likely begin working on the structural parts.
