Puzzle Box/Shadow Box

My late Christmas gift to my husband. I wanted to make a puzzle box that had a shadow box scene inside of the first place he took me to when we were dating. The box opens by tilting forward and back to release side panels, then a turn of the compass on top and lid pops off. It was a fun project :slight_smile:

That is quite a neat design! I’d love to know more about your pivot mechanism if you have the time and inclination to write about it.
