Two Burrs in a Corner
Eric's statement that this puzzle is “extraordinarily difficult” is an understatement. He continues: “To start, The burr pieces will pack into the corner only one way. But that's just the beginning. When you remove the twelve pieces, there are 28,540 ways to construct a single burr. And only ONE way to make two burrs. Thats's right...there is a unique combination of pieces that will allow you to construct two burrs, which seems insanely improbable to me. On top of that, both burrs are high...

Binary Burr
The puzzle has a loose fit. Please see the 2nd photo for a clearer idea.From Eric's write-up: “Construction of this puzzle was tricky. The humidity in my workshop was fluctuating wildly, so I opened up the tolerances more than I usually do to make sure the final product wouldn't bind up or get stuck. The good news is that I was successful there - this puzzle should work in all humidity conditions. The bad news is that the puzzle turned out looser than I would have liked, having perhaps .035 in...

Quads and Rings II
From Eric's write-up: “This is the tricker iteration of the Quads and Rings series. Four wooden burr pieces interlock with three acrylic pieces with a level 17.2.6 solution. Definitely a step up in difficulty from the Q&R1 design; Yavuz has kind of laid the gauntlet down here! Achieving the checkerboard pattern is a second challenge.”For more details: http://archive.cubicdissection.com/html/qnr2.html

Two Wheeled Cube
From Eric's write-up: “Every time I think I've seen it all when it comes to 4x4 cubes, someone proves me wrong. In thie case it's Mr. Hu with his excellent "Two Wheeled Cube" design. with an odd level 1.1.1.2.8 solution, this puzzle is moderate in difficulty but very high on the fun factor. The first four pieces form a shell around the heart of the puzzle; two identical "wheels" which rotate and dance around each other in a bewildering number of possble states. The meat of the puzzle is figuri...

Boken Sticks
Six piece typical diagonal burr creating a beautiful shape. Well known Stewart Coffin design but simplified because of the colour symmetry.I made a handful of these for friends and family last year and had this one left over. Great for someone who wants an inexpensive copy of a great puzzle just to actually play with. The pieces are not perfect like a Lee Krasnow or a Peterson work, so you can get some hints as some fit slightly better in certain orientations but the errors are very small so you...

12 Piece Separation
Well known Stewart Coffin design .I made a handful of these for friends and family and had this one left over. Great for someone who wants an inexpensive copy of a great puzzle just to actually play with. The pieces are not perfect like a Lee Krasnow or a Peterson work but still close tolerances and nice fit all around. Overall it displays beautifully.

Aluminum Interlocking Puzzle
Aluminum Interlocking PuzzleI am unfamiliar with who designed or crafted this puzzle, It appears that it could be a machinists project as the tolerances are very good and it has been crafted with brass pegs that slide into recessed channels in the pieces. The puzzle measures a little over 3” and I crafted a small walnut base for displaying this puzzle that will be included with the puzzle. The aluminum shows some small scuffs that would benefit from a metal polish but all in all a nicely craf...
