Kit Puzzle box Scriptum cube Luxury

I recently purchased Scriptum Luxe and am currently working on it. I have finished the construction of the box and am starting on the labeling and putting the outer designs on the box. This not a difficult puzzle to put together (like Tetra) but it demands precision as the inlay material is VERY thin and easily tears. You develop a technique to avoid this by making sure your cutting blade is really sharp and you don't pull too hard as you cut. Also when sanding to make sure the parts fir properly and glide in their pathway - be gentle - just a little sanding at a time. It is easy to remove material but not possible to add it back if you "oversand". They include many extra pieces of the thin material, however, as usual, don't tell you which ones they are! So, I find myself going through the instructions and counting how many times a part is used to see if there are extras. Unless you are a professional "cutter-outer" you will mess up once in a while, so the extras are invaluable. It is obvious as you work through constructing the box and the detail work involved in the Luxe version, that NKD spent a lot of time making this kit - it shows. Anyway, this is a great puzzle to make, and assuming I successfully complete it, will be a fine addition to my NKD puzzle collection. P.S. When the instruction say to not use "wood glue" in the thing veneers - believe them! Only use the acrylic glue, the wood glue makes the veneer curl! Also, do not "over-varnish" (a little at a time) - very thinly - or the pieces will curl and lift away. BE PATIENT!
