Hey, I’ve been sketching out a new wooden puzzle box that uses a lattice pattern and a hidden latch—thought it might be right up our alley. What’s your take on the geometry?

Sounds solid—let’s keep the grain direction in sync with the lattice angles, and double‑check the hinge tolerance. I’ll build a quick mock‑up with scrap wood, slot the latch, and see if the tension holds before we commit the final piece. If the latch clicks and the box stays together, we’ll have a puzzle that’s both pretty and functional. If not, we’ll learn exactly which angles were off and adjust before the next batch. Let’s get that prototype out the door.
