After the sucess of the 2011 Mystery Box project we started this one in 2012. The intention was to have those who did not get a chance to work on the 2011 box an opportunity to show their stuff. All was welll for about 6 months and then the box got waylayed. It took another three months before anyone realized it was not being passed around and then another month to rescue it. With the box back in circulation we found we had more time than interested people so we opened the process up to anyone (new or previous) who wanted to work on it.
Again 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.
