Thanks for reading my posts, and the kind words of encouragement Alan!
The cube within a cube malarkey would be an interesting project in brass for an RR apprentice, because really, for them to come out looking right, you need micrometer precision. If the hole in the central cube isn't spot on, it's immediately noticeable to anyone with a trained eye. Also, for the cubes to detach correctly on the internal corners, the turning needs to be very accurate too. The only time I feel like doing anything twice is just before I've done it once! I think that I'd have to be in prison, with it being a condition of my early release, that I'd want to make many of these cube jobbies one after another!
