Framework II - Gotz
from cubic dissection.com:Markus designed this puzzle quite a while ago and I always liked the looks of it. 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 Tom Jolly to see if it could be modified into a single solution. Tom quickly determined that the original had at least 15 solutions. Both Tom and Markus subsequently went to work, both coming up with i...

Fusion - Kleinwaks
f you like solving one six piece burr, how about two at the same time! With a difficult level 18.6.3 solution, this puzzle is not for lightweights! Tricky and entertaining, and displays very well once solved. Three different woods used for aesthetics and also to give the solver a chance (this puzzle would be exponentially more difficult in solid wood). Fit is incredibly precise - sometimes this makes find the next move extra tricky...I'm selling these puzzles to fund future puzzle-making equipme...

Triaxe
RELEASED:2.13.2013PRODUCED:40 CopiesDESIGNER:Stephane ChomineCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Quilted Maple / BloodwoodCOMMENTS:Stephane has been coming out with a lot of new designs lately, and it was tough to pick which I liked the best. I found the geometry of the cage and internal pieces very pleasing, and the fact that Triaxe is a difficult level 24 solution didn't hurt. With only three pieces it's not impossible, but this is definitely an advanced puzzle. Lots of movement and lots of dead end...

N-One
RELEASED:5.30.2012PRODUCED:44 CopiesDESIGNER:Osanori YamamotoCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Bocote - Wenge GranadilloCOMMENTS:I always enjoy Mr. Osanori's designs, and the N-One is no exception. Three pieces, uncomplicated, with a fun level 15.3 solution. The keyring serves two purposes...you could actually use this to hold keys, the pieces arent going anywhere (May not want them being rough handled in a purse or pocket though). Additionally, the chain blocks a second solution...so, remove the ch...

Galaxy - Yamamoto
Four identical pieces, a simple frame, and a level 18.10 solution. Typical of Osanori's designs, this puzzle is difficult, fun, and aesthetically pleasing. The pieces are cut from solid bubinga, and interact in tricky and surprising ways with the box. I like this design a lot, and recommend it to any puzzler looking for a moderate to difficult challenge.I'm selling these puzzles to fund future puzzle-making equipment, and of course to buy morepuzzles :)buyer is responsible for money transfer fee...

RELEASED:11.29.2012PRODUCED:38 CopiesDESIGNER:Osanori YamamotoCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Walnut / Mora / WengeCOMMENTS:This tricky puzzle by Osanori has an interesting appearance as well as an interesting solution. The two halves of the frame create a maze internally which changes state as you slide the pieces back and forth. The internal pieces dance around, moving in and out and about each other until finally they (hopefully) find their final resting spot with a symmetrical solution. Given ...

Vectes / Ghidorah
"This puzzle is two designs in one - the cage comes with two sets of burr pieces (one a six unit length and the other an eight unit length) which are entirely different puzzles to insert. The designs were released at roughly the same time, and I found them both interesting. When I realized they shared the same cage, I was in! Both designers graciously gave permission, and so I present to you the combined Vectes / Ghidorah Box. Ghidorah is the "warm up" difficulty with a level 22.3 solution. Once...

Tom's Square Dance
from cubicdissection.com:Oh Tom, you crafty little devil. Once again he comes out with a very interesting and unique design that I can't resist making. Tom's Square Dance consists of nine pieces which interlock into the surrounding frame. WIth a unique level 1.8.5.3.4 solution, this is a tricky nut to crack. Simply identifying piece positions is quite tricky, and sorting out the insertion order and moves necessary simply compounds the difficulty. Definitely doable, but definitely difficult. I'm ...

Tom Jolly - Twist the Night Away
from cubicdissection.com:I was showing various puzzles to an IPP attendee when they skipped right over this one. I started to show it to them and they said "Everything interesting that can be done with 4x4 cubes has already been done". I laughed and showed them about half of the solution, at which time they cried "Stop - I'll take it!". This really is a fabulously interesting cube, and Tom really hit the ball out of the park with it. It's just a downright fun puzzle that still puts a smile on my...

Derek's Half Dozen
"Despite the devilish difficulty of this puzzle, let me assure you that Derek is a really nice guy. Keep that in mind as you go crazy trying to solve his latest creation. Derek's half dozen is fiendishly difficult at a level 26.9.5 solution. It's so hard to solve I took pity and made the pieces from three woods so you'd have a big clue as to what goes where. I'm also shipping it assembled. You're welcome.Construction is dead on with VERY nice tolerances. Everything's square and beveled, with thr...
