Three Piece Block
One of Stewart Coffin's most well-known design. Surprisingly tricky considering there are only 3 pieces. The target shape is a tetrahedron made from cubes, definitely a difficult shape to visualize.This copy was 3D printed by Shapeways, it is "pocket sized" and made from ten 13mm cubes. Each piece is dyed a different color, which makes disassembly easy, but reassembly is not any easier.I have several wood copies of this puzzle, and while they are very nice, none of them fit as well as this pu...

Exploding Ball Puzzle
Assemble ten identical pieces (plus a small icosahedron) into a 5 cm
diameter ball. This puzzle was 3D printed by Shapeways and dyed in 5
colors by me. The core is a Game Science D20 die (included).This
puzzle was designed by Stephen Chin, based on a Wayne Daniel puzzle. In 2010, the wooden version won an
award in the IPP puzzle design competition. This is the same puzzle available in my Etsy store, http://www.etsy.com/shop/polypuzzles.It is difficult to achieve a good fit with these p...

2 HALVES CAGES 4A (Ash Wakapou) (Benedetti/Vigouroux)
Description
:
This
non-millable six piece burr is surrounded by a cage split into two
mirrored halves. Not only must the solver figure out the burr itself,
but they must also understand the burr within the constrains of the
cage. That alone would be difficult, but figuring out how to start
with one half of the cage and put the puzzle in a state which allows
the addition of the second half is the real trouble. With a unique
level 17.14.9.5 solution, this is a very very difficult puzz...

Puzzler's Cage by Junichi Yanose in Bloodwood
Made by Eric in 2009. From his original wording :"This is one of the more
beautiful puzzles I have ever seen, and also one of the most difficult.
Mr. Yananose designed this in 1999 without the aid of a computer, and it
is according to him “crazy hard”. I agree with that assessment! The
puzzle is incredibly interlocking, to the point that fully half of the
ends themselves are captive in notches.
Construction is very precise, with a nice moderate fit. Some of my
finer stock was u...

Visible Cube by Bram Cohen
Made by Eric in 2009 and in his own words :"Bram has come up with a
devilishly difficult construct here. The first piece slides out with
decptive ease....after that gimme, it's nine more moves before the next
piece is released. A hollow interior means maximum movement, maximum
confusion and minimal hints. Starting with all pieces disassembled gives
very few inferences as to a solving strategy. Overall a difficult and
entertaining puzzle in a small and modest package. A solid choice. ...

Burrnoose Interlocking Puzzle
A chance to get one of Eric's earlier works this one made in 2008, in Eric's own words :"I'm always excited when Tom
contacts me with a new design, and this one turned out to be no
exception. The "Noose" in the name refers to the fact that all six
pieces are contained by a 4x4 square which constricts them like a noose.
A squat rectangle with a unique level 9 solution, it is very solid
until you figure out the deceptive first move. After that things get
interesting, with lots of movem...

Puzzle is still in like-new condition having been stored in an air-conditioned, smoke-free environment. Starting price is the same as Eric's release price. Buyer to pay actual shipping cost worldwide. Thanks for looking!

Outline Burr
From cubicdissection.com:This puzzle is a derivative of Karin Von Kanel's outline burr, designed in 2001. I have been wanting to make this for a long time, but was having trouble getting in touch with Karin. Finally I ran into her at the NYPP and she heartily agreed to give me permission to make it. Initially I wanted to make the "Ultimate" level 15.1, but when I plugged it into burrtools, no solution was to be found. I started playing around with the piece sets and decided on one which had thre...
