About Safes, Boxes & Caskets
This theme differs from all the others in one respect: the models get used once they are built. A casket holds jewellery, a safe gets a combination lock with a code you choose, a book gets a secret compartment. Everything is built from laser-cut plywood, without glue.
That is the answer to the question every kit raises: what happens to it once it is finished.
What happens afterwards
Once the safe is finished, the combination lock really works. You set the code yourself and change it whenever you like. The caskets have compartments and drawers that open, some via a mechanism you first have to find.
In practice these models do not end up in a display cabinet but on the desk: as a box for pocket money, as a jewellery casket, as a place for the things that would otherwise lie around.
Gifts with a code
A banknote becomes a find once it sits behind a combination lock. You build the safe, put the note inside, set a code — and hand over the code as a riddle. The gift is then the note and the way to it.
Frequently asked questions
Do the locks really work?
Yes. The combination lock is built from wooden parts and can then be set to a code of your choice. It is not a security lock — it stops curious hands, nothing more.
Can I keep things in them?
That is what these models are made for. Size and inner layout vary a lot, so the dimensions of each model are on its product page. Measure first if something specific needs to fit inside.
Where do I start?
With a small model under 100 parts. It is done in an afternoon but already has a real mechanism — and shows you whether this way of building suits you.
Do I need glue or tools?
Neither — no glue and no tools. The parts are pressed out of the board by hand and slot together.
Are there any pre-assembled models?
Yes. They arrive ready to use and do not need putting together — meant for when you want to give a gift without anyone having to build it. They are marked as pre-assembled on the product page and show no build time.
