Dovetail Burr is our follow-up to the Japanese Wood Joint puzzle we released last month. Both are part of the series that Frans designed nearly 20 years ago. Inspired by traditional Japanese woodworking joinery techniques, Dovetail Burr was Frans's IPP 20 Exchange puzzle.Dovetail Burr remains an utterly unique interlocking board burr concept despite its age. The presence of matched dovetail joints forces each pair of pieces on a given axis to interact with the other. This innovation creates a di...

Daedalus by Gregory Benedetti is an utterly unique masterpiece of design. Brilliantly creative and brutally tricky, Daedalus hides its secrets well. The beautiful exterior gives no clue to the sheer pandemonium hiding inside. What appears to be a simple cube is an interlocking maze that continually changes its state with rotations, dead ends, and deception. Simple disassembly is a challenge; reassembly is genuinely an accomplishment.Daedalus is difficult to make. Each puzzle contains pieces from...

"Here is another blast from the past. I had the pieces for these laying in a box from a long ago update, so I decided to make some frames! Get the 6 mirrored pairs of pieces into the frame. This also requires sequential assembly although there are a few options along the way. This is way too difficult for my feeble brain to do. I still require the instructions to assemble these. Frames made from Paduak and Honey Locust, pieces vary, but will be 6 different woods with each pair of twins from a di...

Kevin Sadler wrote about it:“This wonderful design by Terry Smart was modified and improved by Stephan Baumegger who made a limited production run back in 2016. At the end of that year it was good enough to make it into my top ten puzzles of the year. I am delighted that Pelikan have decided to make more copies available to everyone as it is a stunning burr that looks lovely on display.  As well as that, it is a really fun challenge with some really hard to find moves. The disassembly level i...

The puzzle is a set similar to the Penultimate Burr with multiple problems to be solved. The set consists of a 4×4×4 cage with a 2×2 opening on each face and 14 non-planar penta/tetracubes. The objective is to fill the cage with four of the pentacubes and three tetracubes to complete a 4×4 cube. This copy was crafted using Padauk pieces, which is different from the production versions. This copy does not feature the storage box or the assembly jig as in the full Caged Polycubes puzzle. This...

Although the name is similar to Inelegant Squares, this puzzle is completely different. The pieces, which are made up of the typical Inelegant 3x4x5 pieces are almost square in shape. Now pack the 6 pieces into the box as shown. I think this is my new favorite of the Inelegant puzzles that Haym has designed. Only one assembly can be placed inside the box. Some really nice woods make this an attractive puzzle too!Designer: Haym Hirsh

"Exhaust" is a very unusual six-piece interlocking burr that combines board and burr piece shapes to achieve a fascinating symmetry. The two board and two burr pieces interact with the two hybrid-style pieces to create an unusual challenge. The solution is devious and clever.Construction of Exhaust went very well. The end-grain joints of the hybrid pieces are reinforced by a half-shoulder for strength, ensuring that this puzzle will stand the test of time without mechanical failure. Exhaust look...

2LIT is a fresh packing puzzle concept by Kris Antibus and Matthew Hochberg. The goal is to fit five pieces into a rather unique box. The opening to the box is a sliding panel with a notch, and a block fixed on the inside. The movement of this panel creates a changing state which significantly complicates the solving process. With no external tools allowed or required, you'll have to summon all your creativity to defeat this clever opponent!This is a printed copy of the original run in plastic.

Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:“A tribute to Yasuhiro Hashimoto… With his designs, Yasuhiro Hashimoto has given friends of mechanical puzzles all over the world deeply felt moments of happiness. When I recently had the opportunity to work with his 4L puzzle for the first time, the thought matured in me to say thank you for the wonderful time that Hashimoto-san gives us. Now I could have sent him a message and somehow put my admiration into more or less appropriate words. However, I decid...

Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:“My new packing puzzle has a small Greek letter tau on the top and your task is to close the box. I have to thank Laszlo Molnar for the design of the box that he first used in his beautiful puzzle NO HOLES BARRED. My goal in designing my new packing puzzle was to use as few equal pairs of pieces as possible. TAU gets by with only four pieces to close the box. I think the solution contains the most beautiful movement of all my puzzles so far. I hope that the s...

Japanese Wood Joint Burr was designed by Frans de Vreugd for the London IPP in 1999. Originally crafted in very small quantities by Wayne Daniel, Frans considers it one of his nicest designs. This burr is uniquely difficult in both concept and operation.We previously released a small batch last year, and decided to make more after a lot of positive customer feedback. This run was precisely crafted from Ash and Wenge. The fit and function are exact. Production turned out very well and is represen...
