Anyone doing Japanese puzzle boxes?

I had one when I was a kid... I got it in Chinatown in NYC. A 3 move box.

Here's a 12 move box.

25 moves, , pretty clever:

I would love to see how these are made. If you know of any links please post them.

I have a lot of PDFs with plans for these. I've been wanting to make them for awhile but I don't think my skills are up to par nor my tools this accurate. Part of the puzzle is the confusing artwork all over the box to hide the cuts. I thought they would make awesome Xmas gifts. I want to put various small (non-perishable ;)) items in there and not tell them how to open the box. :D
