This guy is 100% the definition of a genius. To come up with these mechanisms, have the skills to craft them, and do so exclusively out of wood… genius 200 IQ mastery.
-
Creating a clicking sound out of wood. What a genius, I love it.
-
Kagen's puzzles are awesome. Exceptionally well made.
-
I have been following Kagan Sound for more than five years now, he's been a real underdog and it's so good to see him get so much recognition now!
-
I love that people like this exist in the world.
-
The sheer talent here is incredible. This is a Da Vinci level of genius.

These are amazing. My brother and I are hobbyists and make much much MUCH simpler puzzle boxes. These are absolutely next level, and so beautiful. The engineering is crazy

so happy to see puzzlemakers like Kagen be celebrated in videos like these. It's such a pleasure to see this passion shared and grown via communities like youtube.

Finally, someone who can build the Lament Configuration. We have such sights to show you.

Kagen is not only an amazing craftsman and a puzzle box design genius, but he is also a wonderful human being. A genuine gentleman, whom I am feeling privileged I ever got to know.
-
Honestly incredible that he had all these puzzle making ideas since he was a kid and carried that passion over to adulthood. You can tell how much he loves his craft and creating. Kudos to him 👏
-
Magnificent. Not only are the puzzles and mechanisms breath-taking, but the boxes themselves can also be quite functional as they tend to have very large spaces inside, which is not always true with many other puzzle boxes.
-
You can easily imagine his house, completely neat, beautifully organized, everything in its place, and not a grain of dust around.
-
This man is evidently a genius and as a veteran woodworker his craftsmanship is impeccable and unmatched.
-
This is real art, and mind boggling at the same time! Escher would be proud ❤
-
Just imagine how awesome this workshop of his should smell.
-
One of the most creative people I have ever come across!
-
Just amazing, me as a woodworker I found this a delight to watch.
-
I love how happy he is talking about it. To have so much passion and purpose and joy in what you do: life goals.

Now this is thinking outside the box. 😉
