It's exactly the reverse of how you opened it. Drop me a PM if you're having any trouble.
Thanks, I figured that it pretty straight forward. I was paranoid of messing it up on the first day. Now that it's back together, having a hard time re-oping it. Guess I got lucky. :D

...half an hour was pretty quick ... I've known them to remain unsolved for months! :)

I was told of a person who has an unsolved Cylinder on their shelf for over two years! :shock:

...I was being nice! [It's a new thing I'm trying :) ] - but then I've have some Rogers lying around for the better part of a year or more before they got solved!

Yes on one end it's a happy face :) and on the other it's a sad face :(

I'm not sure I'm going about it the right way but I can open this thing in under 10 seconds :shock:

When re assembling Wil's cross puzzle, do the dots on the bottom need to match up or does it not matter?
