PRODUCED:50 CopiesDESIGNER:UnknownCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Maple, PurpleheartCOMMENTS:This design is difficult to find...thanks to Tom Lensch for sharing the design details with me. Sources say that the late Mr. Wolfgang Schneider invented this packing puzzle in the early 90's. The 21 pieces pack into the box with an extremely tricky and non-intuitive solution. I cannot stress enough that this is a very very difficult puzzle, requiring not only patience but also unconventional thinking to s...

Eric's Description: I always liked this design, and on a whim emailed Martin abour possibly making it available again. When he replied in the affirmitive, my only thought was "yay!" as I ran to the laser cutter. Digigrams was released at IPP20 and is a very clever packing puzzle. Each digit is represented, and there are only three solutions to pack them all into the tray. It's quite tricky.Crafted with precision cut acrylic and walnut, with a solid grandillo bottom. Nice pleasing fit and a comp...

A 6 piece packing puzzle with only one solution. This puzzle appears deceptively easy, yet when most try to solve it they are engaged quite a bit longer then they expected. Every time you think you have it solved, that last little block is in the wrong place! Heirloom, display quality work.Seller is responsible for all paypal fees. 

Brand new, never opened.  Bought many puzzles this year and would like this to go to someone who will play with it.   Still in shrink wrap and comes in box from Wood Wonders.  

Half Lid Box by the famous Hajime Katsumoto is a similar challenge to Obstacle Box. With only two layers and one slider, you'd think it was easier. You'd be thinking wrong in this case...while there are fewer pieces, the smaller opening necessitates rotational moves which greatly complicate assembly.Crafted with lovely accents and our usual precision and strength, Half Lid Box is sure to be a longtime favorite in your collection.48 copies made for sale, each signed and dated. 

Toyo Glass  : Red All ThroughAnother rare Toyo Glass Puzzle, stack the four ash trays so that it is "red all through"The boxed puzzle weighs the same as 8.65 hamsers, including all the original packaging and paperwork. My SPH almost started to shred the unused packaging to make a nest for itself. It then remembered that puzzles with original packaging can sometimes attract higher bids. He's a good SPH. Hopefully your SPH will also recognise the value of intact packaging and encourage you to bid...

These puzzles come as a pair so eight and half hamsters between them. Imagine how ...
