Altekruse Surprise
from Jerry McFarland's website:I discovered this puzzle when experimenting with notched sticks from the 35 piece minicube puzzle. After completing the puzzle I was surprised to see it was an Altekruse type design. The short sticks were added to fill in the spaces. A small quantity were sold in 1991 and 1992. When making them again in 2008 I thought of adding a block to fill in the empty cavity inside to make the puzzle more interesting. Adding this block makes the assembly more challenging ...

S/M 24
S/M 24 is a very challenging 24-piece Rectilinear Burr that took me 7 hours of intense struggle to re-assemble: and that was WITH Jerry's assembly diagram in front of me! It's definitely worth the price of admission, but once is enough for this puzzler. Puzzle ships assembled with information sheets.

Notched Corner Cube Variation
This is a Notched Corner Cube variation designed by Bill Cutler, and crafted by and purchased from, Jerry McFarland. While the assembled form is quite pleasing to display, my mind seems to be getting more feable over time. I took this puzzle apart s-l-o-w-l-y in the effort to NOT wind up with another pile of pieces. So much for that! The assembled puzzle can be viewed on Jerry McFarland's website: http://web.mac.com/jermcfpzls/site/Notched_Corner_Cube.html . If this puzzle is purchased, it ...

Anderson's Delusion
This is Anderson's Delusion...unassembled. ;-( Lol. Eric is a cool guy. When one of the pieces came unglued, he took the time to fix it at no charge. I thought I could get the puzzle re-assembled, but so far, no luck. This puzzle is very interesting. As far as I know, only 20 copies of the puzzle were made. All the details are shown under Eric's "Puzzle Gallery." Since the puzzle would ship disassembled, the starting offer price is slightly lower than the original.

Almost There
A nice Bill Darrah design made by Pelikan CZ. It's a very fun and interesting interlocking cube with 8 units missing to make the ends hollow. Four identical pieces with a ton of movement before it falls apart at the very end of both axes of movement. Nicely made, with just a touch of glue squeeze out visible on the inside.Thanks to Bernhard for telling me the designer and manufacturer!

Two Piece Oddity
This excellent Jolly design is a really fun, if somewhat simple puzzle. The shuttle is caught in the cage and must be removed. I made a small run of them in 2005 and they have not been made since to my knowledge.This particular example was a production sample from an overseas factory. I was at one point attempting to have them mass produced, but could never get the quality right. The dark wood is dyed a walnut color, and the cage is simply butt glued. So, not stellar work...but the puzzle s...

Outline Burr
This interesting puzzle was designed by Karen von Kanel. I ended up playing with the piece set and came up with this version. From the website:"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 int...

Very Crappy 14 Piece Altekruse
This is one of the first 10 puzzles I ever made. I did it on my buddies Table saw. Notches were made by cutting the two end pieces out, then freehand cutting the middle. I remember about 6-7 pieces were grabbed by the blade and flung back at me. No, I had no idea what the heck I was doing. Yes, I am lucky to still have all my fingers after a learning curve like that. Bid now and bid often on the puzzle that could have prematurely ended my career! These puzzles are ones from my personal c...

2N Cube #1
From the website:"The 2n Cube #1 cube was designed by Rob Stegmann in 2003. The puzzle consists of 8 interlocking pieces which assemble neatly into a 4x4x4 cube. Each of the pieces is comprised of 2 n-tetrominoes, joined together in 4 different ways (4 pairs of differently shaped pieces). Thus, 2 of each piece comprised of 2 n-tetrominoes, and Mr Stegmann?s last name also has 2 n so the puzzle name is quite fitting! The puzzle is considered to be of moderate difficulty.In addition, through some ...
