Corky (or Uncorker), designed by Gary FosheeProduced by Bits & Pieces (2005).Photo shows the assembled corkscrew, but the goal is to start with it disassembled (two parts) and figure out how to put it back together to make the wine opener.  Hence, I will ship it in the unsolved, disassembled state.  It's a nice looking metal puzzle, with minor wear and tarnish consistent with its age.  Main body still looks clean and shiny.  The tarnish on the corkscrew has been polished to restore most of t...

Depressing is a fun assembly puzzle crafted beautifully by Brian Menold of WoodWonders. "This clever little guy sold out quickly at my last release, so I decided to include more copies with this release. Can you assemble the six pieces into the shape shown? Getting started is definitely the most difficult part of the solution. You should give this one a go. Almost small enough to fit in you pocket. The tongue depressor-like pieces took quite a bit of time to make, but that was a choice I made s...

Don’t really have the time to sell all my puzzles individually, but since it would be a waste to just let them all collect dust I’m selling a large chunk of my collection all at once. 28 puzzles in total. Most of the puzzles are in good condition and I think there is a lot of fun stuff in there. Good for a new collector or for someone willing to take the time to sell them all separately and make a profit I suppose. I was a solver, not a collector so there will be some wear and tear. P...

Hajime contacted me out of nowhere and asked if I would be interested in crafting a new puzzle he designed. Given his performance at last years IPP Design Competition, it was a pretty easy sell. Pin Block Case is a unique and very interesting packing puzzle. It's not terribly high level, nor super difficult, yet there's something satisfying about the solution that makes it a wonderful puzzle. This was a hit at IPP and will likely sell out quickly.Construction of this puzzle was painstaking, with...

The Mechanical Puzzle 130 magazine covers a wide range of mechanical puzzles with both color and black & white photos throughout.
