Tucker's Teaser cube, by Richard Tucker
Tucker's Teaser, designed by Richard Tucker, "analysis by Rik van Grol" as it says on the solution sheet. Apparently 3 solutions. Not sure who manufactured it, though there is a "made in Britain" sticker on the packing. Quality is well below Pentangle quality. This one was listed in "A Compendium of Cube-Assembly Puzzles using Polycube Shapes" by Kevin Holmes and Rik van Grol, Aug 2002, and designed around 1980 (according to the PuzzleWillBePlayed site).

Open Cube
Nice design by Messrs. van Kreveld and Geerinck, produced by Bernhard Langer at puzzlewood.de in six different woods. Easy to take apart but reassembly can be frustrating. Finish isn't great but I counted 144 mitred joints on the diagonal and the fit is still good.

Noncsi Puzzle
As soon as Eric saw this design he knew I had to make it. The eight pieces pack into the oddly shaped frame only one way and in one very specific order. A fair amount of jockying around is necessary to fit them all. With a unique level 2.3.9.7.5 solution, it's doable but not trivial. A very unique concept from a new designer.Constructed of choice ash for the frame and exotic wood for the pieces, the tolerances on this puzzle are excellent. Operation is very precise at normal humidity. Furthermor...

Framework II
Markus designed this puzzle quite a while ago and Eric always liked the looks of it. Finally Eric emailed him asking if the design was free...and it was! One hitch though - there was more than one solution. Eric greatly prefers puzzles with a single solution, so he decided to enlist Tom Jolly to see if it could be modified into a single solution. Tom quickly determined that the original had at least 15 solutions. Both Tom and Markus subsequently went to work, both coming up with interesting vari...

One, they must all go thorugh the 1x2 slot in the side, making the order of insertion quite important. Tw...

Pochi
A pretty interesting put together puzzle with many tangram like problems. Very difficult because you have to solve for the shapes and also maintain the integrity of the dots. Quite nicely made in wood. This item is from my personal collection. Shipping is $8 in the US for Priority Mail. International shipping is $18 for first class and $35 for Priority Mail. I will combine shipping for multiple items. The last picture is a photograph of the actual puzzle being sold.
