Mystery Box Project - 2011

Lee Barker came up with this idea from who knows where. The basic idea is to build a box that locks, hand it to a member who puts some wood/wood objects into the box and locks it. Pass it on to another member who opens it up, adds some more to it and  locks it back up. Keep doing this for a year and the open the box and see what you have. Here were the rules that we followed. And here are some notes from the notebook that Lee placed in the box and people logged their work into:

One comment in the log from George Blackman: "I thought it looked like an aquarium so I added some fish."

The material oozing through the brick wall, by Greg Fulton, is colored epoxy.

The little box on the bottle, by Al Braccini, has a movable lid.

The small toy top, by Renee Atkinson, is removable and really works!

Mike Ross has a laser engraver. That's "Deschutes Brewery" on the end of the teensy keg.
