RELEASED:2.28.2014PRODUCED:38 CopiesDESIGNER:Bill CutlerCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Walnut, Ash, SapeleCOMMENTS:This is possibly the best burr puzzle ever invented. Bill designed it by hand when he was 16 years old. (so, a looooong time ago :)Intended as a take-apart puzzle, disassembly is very tricky with many many false starts and dead ends. Reassembly is of course very very difficult. I don't generally include instructions, but I will gladly send the directions to this one should the buyer ...

RELEASED:9.20.2013PRODUCED:44 CopiesDESIGNER:Tamas VanyoCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Carolina Ash, Bubinga / Shedua / Peruvian WalnutCOMMENTS:As soon as I saw this design I knew I had to make it. It was a lot of work and frankly I'm not charging as much as I should for it, but it's such a cool puzzle I have no regrets. The eight pieces pack into the oddly shaped frame only one way and in one very specific order. A fair amount of jockying around is necessary to fit them all. With a unique level ...

RELEASED:11.3.2015PRODUCED:36 CopiesDESIGNER:Bill CutlerCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Ash, Paduak, PurpleheartCOMMENTS:Another iconic Bill Cutler design...here's what he has to say about it:For most burr shapes, such as the 6-piece burr, if you have no internal holes, then the first piece that moves will come out all the way. This is because the burr shape is 'rectilinearly convex'. This is not true for the standard 24-piece burr shape. I decided to design a 24-piece burr in which:1) there are n...

RELEASED:12.16.2015PRODUCED:56 CopiesDESIGNER:Gregory BenedettiCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:PaduakCOMMENTS:With the invention of the NOS (New Old School) puzzle series, Gregory took the six piece burr format and turned it on its head. The only thing more noteworthy than the uniqueness of the series was how difficult they are to make. When he sent me the plans for them a year ago, I turned him down because it just looked like a nightmare to manufacture. I wasn't wrong...BUT...Gregory came up to ...

RELEASED:4.15.2015PRODUCED:41 CopiesDESIGNER:Stewart CoffinCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Ash, LacewoodCOMMENTS:Ages ago I made a small batch of RD puzzles using octahedral clusters. I never did make the best of Coffin's design though, the Five Piece version, so I thought I'd whip up a batch after having so much fun with the Pyracubes. Five Piece Cluster has four dissimilar non-symmetrical pieces and a fifth key piece that is a single block. The serially interlocking solution is very tricky!The c...

RELEASED:10.2.2012PRODUCED:30 CopiesDESIGNER:Mineyuki Uyematsu (2008), Ken Irvine (2012)CRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Holly, Canarywood, Sapele, Zebrawood, WalnutCOMMENTS:Originally designed by Mineyuki Uyematsu, this puzzle was also independantly discovered some years later by Ken Irvine. Since it's so difficult to establish whether or not a puzzle is truly new or not, Ken was unaware of Mine's previous discovery, and in fact the overlap was not discovered until this production run was complete...

After looking at a couple dozen designs I chose six for their representation of the various concepts and levels of difficulty.Stephane came up with some interesting variations on the boards and sticks burr by adding secondary board pieces to be inserted on the same...

Finally I emailed him asking if the design was free...and it was! One hitch though - there was more than one solution. I greatly prefer puzzles with a single solution, so I decided to enlist T...

RELEASED:2.17.2016PRODUCED:32 CopiesDESIGNER:Tamás VanyóCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Walnut, Maple, Camaru or ZebrawoodCOMMENTS:I've been sitting on this design for quite a while now, waiting until I had the time to make it. I really liked the meta aspect of a set of pentominos hiding inside a larger set, but I knew it would be an undertaking to craft. The frame and pieces were very time consuming, with shouldered joinery, through milling on the connector pieces, and every edge beveled on the...

RELEASED:4.15.2015PRODUCED:22 CopiesDESIGNER:George BellCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Ash, LacewoodCOMMENTS:Octahedron with Child is a four piece puzzle which uses coordinate motion in the solution. Three identical pieces wrap around each other and the fourth key piece locks the assembly together. While not terribly difficult, the design is interesting and of course looks wonderful in fancy woods and a 19 piece RD assembly. I meant to make more of this puzzle but a miscalculation ruined about ha...

RELEASED:6.18.2015PRODUCED:47 CopiesDESIGNER:Tom JollyCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Cherry, Paduak, Maple, Yellowheart, PurpleheartCOMMENTS:Another very cool interlocking puzzle from the talented Mr. Jolly. Think Outside the Box has a long name and a moderate level 9.2 solution. However, there's a catch! I found this very tricky to solve and tricky to disassemble as well. Simple in concept and brilliant in execution, this is a design you Jolly well better not miss.The construction of this puzzle...

After looking at a couple dozen designs I chose six for their representation of the various concepts and levels of difficulty.This and the Quads and Rings 1 are probably the entry-level puzzles in this category when it comes to difficulty.

RELEASED:5.30.2012PRODUCED:20 CopiesDESIGNER:Mineyuki UyematsuCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:YellowheartCOMMENTS:This fun little kimuki design mostly attracted me because of its shape. For some reason I just thought it was interesting. The puzzle itself is simple yet enjoyable. It's fairly easy to solve, yet very strongly built, so it will be a good one to show / loan to a beginner who is checking out your collection.Each copy is signed and dated; 20 copies made for sale. Construction of this puz...

RELEASED:1.31.2015PRODUCED:38 CopiesDESIGNER:Dario UriCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Wenge, MapleCOMMENTS:Dario Uri is a new designer (to me at least). When I saw his Uri Three Bars design I knew immediately that I wanted to make it. Luckily Mr. Uri was happy to let me make a batch, so now you can get one too! This is a VERY unusual puzzle and a lot of fun to solve. The goal is to intersect the three open ended pieces such that they push all the way in flush to the base. With a single level 10 so...

RELEASED:12.16.2015PRODUCED:40 CopiesDESIGNER:Markku VesalaCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Purpleheart, NylonCOMMENTS:The 3x3x3 cube is pretty played out. With only 27 units there are only so many things you can do with it. That's assuming tradition block glued to blocks...if you open up edge connections, a whole new world of complexity appears! Markku's excellent Liberal Cube makes good use of these dynamics, with a very confusing and difficult seven piece serial assembly. I would estimate that t...
