It is my most challenging project so far.
The lock has 13 steps to open, according to the manual.
It weights 2 kilos, is 140mm high and comes with a key.
My fingers hurt reading that.

then it means it's not a puzzle for you. Please if you get the offer to buy, say "no" :D

Based on a few chats I’ve had I don’t think there are that many out there at the moment. I also don’t expect more than 50 to be made. A couple of regular puzzle sellers are only getting 5 each. These are going to be VERY in demand!

Mine was posted today so should be with me next week! :D

Thanks for the reply. Just wish that I knew how many people he emailed originally so I could figure out the probability of acquiring one. The suspense is killing me... I emailed him 1.5 weeks ago asking if he would let us know if we're not going to get picked... Just so that anyone who isn't going to get one isn't waiting around twiddling their thumbs.

Mine arrived yesterday too! It’s a beast! I’ve found step 1 of 13 but am now stuck.

It’s beautiful but tough on the hands after a while due to weight and various prodding techniques.

My Popplocks 1 - 11 are now proudly together!
