"Rockeman" was Eric Fuller's 2019 IPP Design Competition Entry.  It was designed after Eric completed work on a couple angled stick Coffin Designs, and found a new shape using the same geometry.  Because this shape uses more pieces in fewer axes than usual in puzzles of this style, it was very challenging to come up with a unique piece set.  Most of these types of puzzles are an assembly of pieces made with two full length subcomponents.  Rocketman uses new, unique piece constraints to crea...

It's no secret that I love cube puzzles, and Andrey's "Repair the Cube" is an excellent one! Two internal pieces dance around the constraints of a truncated cage...the name asks you to position those pieces in such a way that they are contained within the cube and also repair the missing corner bits. With a level 11.10 solution, this is no easy task. onstruction of this puzzle was trickier than a 4x4 cube...this 5x5 has many more pieces and levels of interlock. Originally constructed using Wenge...

These are the last of the Stumbling Blocks and we do not anticipate making any more.*****************Stumbling Blocks is a brilliant puzzle that I've been wanting to make for a while. When Pit mentioned that he had a more difficult version I jumped at the chance to make it. Packing the four pieces into the frame is the goal, and the way to get there is amazing. I can't tell much about this puzzle without giving things away, but I'll say that it has one of the best "Ah-ha!" moments I've seen for ...

An exciting idea by Alfons, the Two Face Three puzzle combines six standard burr pieces with an unusual cage. The outer cage contains an inner shuttle cage that articulates independently. Very unusual movement and a difficult level 20 solution make this a must have for anyone interested in unique burr puzzles. Construction of this puzzle is outstanding, with a lot of detail work involved. The outer shell uses same species slipfeathers for looks and strength. The inside shuttle and burr pieces ar...

Per Kagen's Website: https://kagensound.com/Selfcontainedmazeburr.html"In this version you do not need to take apart the frame to reprogram the sequences that are at the heart of this beautiful puzzle. This puzzle gets its name because it also stores 5 extra maze plates within the structure. These are concealed underneath the green wood. Upon solving it, you may unearth these extra mazes and use them to reprogram the puzzle to a more challenging sequence. Only 10 copies were made. The beauti...

Noah's latest puzzle is reminiscent of Tom Jolly's 2009 design "Lolly Box". Four unusual pieces slot into the very restrictive openings in a specific and difficult sequence. The moves are very interesting, with each piece doing a three dimensional dance with the others for a level 19.4 solution. Tons of fun and a very unique puzzling sculpture when finished. 51 copies made for sale, each signed and dated. This puzzle was constructed with a shouldered box for strength, and internal pieces fully b...

Obstacle Box is the first design I have made by the talented Lucie Pauwels. A very interesting design, it combines a simple packing puzzle with a very unconventional box. Each layer of the puzzle has a sliding plank which must be properly positioned and manipulated to progress the solution. With many assemblies outside the box but only one inside the box, this is a fun solve for sure! Beautiful contrasting hardwoods give this box a distinctive look. The panels slides easily and the pieces fit sn...

Coniburr is an incredibly unique and tricky eight piece burr design. Four outer pieces conspire with four inner burr sticks to bedevil and beguile, culminating in a level 16 solution that's anything but easy. Simply disassembling this monster is a challenge; reassembly is a task best left to experts. Are you one of them?Construction of this puzzle is outstanding, with particular attention paid to aesthetics and grain direction. Fit is also excellent, precise yet with enough tolerance to work in ...

The interesting shape of this burr is what attracted me to it initially. The unique level 12 solution was also a contributing factor. Once I figured out the color scheme and put it in production I was very pleased with the result. A definite departure from your normal six piece burr, the construction sequence is tricky and non-intuitive. The finished shape is pleasingly symmetrical and displays well. Fit is very good, should be fairly tolerant of high humidity. Ships unassembled.These puzzles ar...

Impossible Triangle of Three Cubes is actually not impossible, it's quite approachable in fact. Three odd shaped pieces come together to form three joined cubes. A fun assembly which displays interestingly. Construction of this puzzle is extremely precise, with the pieces sliding together perfectly once the solution is found.

Another very cool interlocking puzzle from the talented Mr. Jolly. Think Outside the Box has a long name and a moderate level 9.2 solution. However, there's a catch! I found this very tricky to solve and tricky to disassemble as well. Simple in concept and brilliant in execution, this is a design you Jolly well better not miss. The construction of this puzzle is very very good. The box is shouldered for strength and the pieces are notched wherever end grain meets side grain. This puzzle will be ...

Pin Block Case is a unique and very interesting packing puzzle. It's not terribly high level, nor super difficult, yet there's something satisfying about the solution that makes it a wonderful puzzle. We made a Signature series run that sold out immediately and many were asking for more, so we decided to make a run of artisan quality puzzles as well. Construction of this puzzle is very sturdy with milled, solid pieces. This puzzle is shipped disassembled.These puzzles are extras and oddballs tha...
