Ha! Henk here. Nicely done! That makes you the first one other than myself to open the thing :P Pity that the mechanism got disturbed by the waffle-package & it breaking, but that's my bad, Bit of clarification for the dial numbers: they had to be pointing towards other dials mirroring the sequence in which they should be pulled outward (although II & III are interchangeable) Not sure whether I put the lid on correctly in that regard though, it fits and works in any orientation. As for the monogram: that's just a small trick away from showing ;) PS: the disabled mechanism in the lid is a type of spin-release, the arms moved away when you spinned the box, but it was a bit unweildy and frankly, felt a bit over-kill. I liked to have at least some visual clue as to what can be done to progress (like the bit of brown string around the red)

I could tell this wood be a great puzzle

I always find it fascinating when a Brit says Europe, implying that the UK is not part of if it. Those waffles are a regional speciality, probably eaten more often in the UK than on Sicily. There are no common European customs setting the UK a part from the rest.

None of the toys i wrecked in my childhood were this much fun dismantling... totally sold 😅

So Lloyd is puzzled about how much fellow puzzlers will enjoy his puzzling over a particularly puzzling puzzle...

I can't think of a worse thing to attempt on the hottest day of the year. You have more patience than I Lloyd

Lindybeige! Yesss!! Now my New Year's is complete! My wife and I love puzzles, this is incredibly cool. Thank you so much!

This was a great watch! Really enjoyed seeing you problem solve and it actually had me engaged with it too. Massive credit to Henk, what a brilliant puzzle! Must of taken absolutely ages and no doubt several iterations. A sign of a true craftsman!

You!! Sir!! Are definitely, certifiably, patient, with overtones of spatial genius and curiosity of a cat with OCD. In other words. Fun to watch and learn from. I'll peruse your blog as I've always, with relish . P.S. I would've quit after 2 hours. But then, it would be YOU!!! 😶‍🌫️😱👍👍🤓🤓

Editor Lloyd being a comment section better than the comment section. Love it Lloyd.

I was relieved to see that the puzzle is available in colours that match your jumper thus keeping your well-earned 'style guru' reputation in tact. I also like the bit at the start where you twice say that you are "taking a bit of a risk",whilst repeatedly drawing the pocketknife towards your own personal person! It did feel a little like the opening scene of an episode of Casualty but it's ok,I've calmed down now. Please continue.

Happy new year everyone

good to see you are well

What a ride! ❤

A treat to be perplexed along with you! Congrats!

Look, I don't know how Lloyd got me to stick around his channel for this very long and yet, still manage to pull me in. For crying out loud, he made a video talking about a famous medieval bed and I found that fascinating! This is one of those videos that yet still pulls me in and I even made a surprised sound along with Lloyd when a certain dial finally moved. Bravo Lindy, thank you so much for all the fascinating content you've done till now. And a Happy New Year to you.

So amazing to see a puzzle box popping up on your channel, as I am in the process of designing a small 3d-printed one as a physical puzzle for my D&D group.

Well, now I'm interested in puzzle boxes. Thanks Lindy!

Very much enjoyed this! ❤💜❤

Thank you very much Lindy (Lloyd), as usual for your effort and enthusiasm (and sweat). Happy New Year, indeed! You were most patient, logical and intelligent. Surprisingly, it proved a thoroughly enjoyable distraction from the worries of the world - due to your skill to engage the audience. You were tested (box and engagement) and passed them, congratulations. Loved the jumper! I have watched you for many years and have found your efforts have given me great pleasure and lifted my spirits muchly. Also your editing skills are I agree quite good as pointed out by towakin7718. Keep up your great work and effort please.
