Tutu
Dr. Volker Matussek writes: “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 decided to ...

Hat Trick
Nice puzzle made by Brian Menold and designed by Laszlo Molnar.Original description by Brian :"This was one of two of Laszlo's entries into the IPP Design Competition and a TOP TEN Vote Getter. You know when Laszlo makes designs a packing puzzle that it will be a good one! I think this one has a difficult to find Aha! moment, making it even more satisfying. This puzzle has some rather close tolerances so it may not be for high humidity conditions. I also tried something new with the Box Elder bo...

Space Cubes (48 pieces to make 9 Cubes)
Space Cube is an interesting puzzle that creates a pleasant box shaped structure. It requires a skill I lack, dexterity. But as with anything, patience and practice should enable one to not only assemble the single Space Cube, but many variations of multiple Space Cube configurations. An assembled Space Cube is made from 6 identical C-shaped (or U-shaped) plastic pieces. The pieces come in colors of red, yellow, and blue. A box comes with 18 pieces, 6 of each color. This lot has 3 box...

TV Puzzle by Jakub Dvorak (RPP)
The "TV Puzzle" is a long-discontinued Pelikan release that was the subject of particular obsession on the Mechanical Puzzle Discord. I somehow got roped into making it; I'm still not sure how. Those guys are persuasive. TV Puzzle is an interesting hybrid packing and take-apart puzzle. My interpretation stayed true to Jakub's original design with a couple of changes - we fully lacquered and changed grain direction for all pieces to make the solution more difficult. The result is trickier than I ...

Belt Cube 3
Kevin Sadler wrote about it:This takes the usual packing puzzle which we love so much to a whole new level of frustration and cleverness. With a box/frame and holes in it and a few simple pieces to be placed inside which completely fill the aforementioned holes leaving no gaps visible, we usually have to create a 3x3x2 shape inside which, despite such simple shapes, is quite a tremendous challenge. This time we have a 3x3x3 cube to be constructed and two HUGE diagonally opposite windows to put p...

"The artisan series is being discontinued; once these puzzles are gone they will not be remade.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.Construction of this puzzle is very sturdy with shouldered edges and milled, solid pieces.
