“I have to say up front that I am totally addicted to Alexander's designs! There is something truly special about them. He has taken the type of puzzle designed by Osanori Yamamoto and added a whole new dimension of fun to them. This consists of an Acacia box which has a plus shaped opening on the top and a minus shaped opening on the opposite side and 4 rather interesting but fairly simple shapes (made from Wenge) to be placed inside such that the opening is completely covered. Straight away ...

From woodwonders.com:I thought this appeared to be rather easy, until I tried to solve it. My mind just doesn't work like I need it to for a puzzle like this. Although the number of moves is not at all high, I think it still provides a nice challenge! Moves: 1.3.2.3.2.4

Back by popular demand, 4L is one of our favorite designs. This diabolical packing puzzle seems simple, yet the solution is anything but - 4L is FAR trickier than it looks. The goal is to pack the four L-shaped pieces into a very simple box. There are two different types of L pieces (fat and thin) and several possible configurations. The solution is creative and devious and earned Mr. Hashimoto an honorable mention at IPP 2015************************************************************These p...

Perennial puzzle exchange participant Henry Strout's exchange puzzle from IPP29, held in San Francisco California in 2009.  Beautifully made in cherry by Henry in a beautifully designed box.  The object of the puzzle is to remove the pieces (a triomino, six tetrominoes, and a pentomino) from the box and to then repack them through the tiny opening in one of the sides.  Some manipulation of the pieces, once inside the box, is required.  The little flag which comes with the puzzle may be helpf...

Lucky 13 by Alexander Magyarics and made by Nothing Yet Designs. Pack the pieces into the tray.A little about myself and the puzzles. I am a solver / collector.

All the puzzles I sell are solved at least once by me. My home is smoke free and pet free. I keep the humidity where the puzzles are between 40-50% with the average being approximat...

From cubicdissection.com:Six Slabs is a unique packing puzzle reminiscent of the Hexahedroom design. Six uniform "slabs" must be packed into the box, which has three openings in a non-symmetrical pattern. This is complicated by two fixed blocks inside the box. With a level 1.1.9.3.2.3 solution, Six Slabs is non-trivial to solve.Crafted from Curly Maple (box) and Wenge (pieces). Great care was taken during construction, with Wenge accents on the box corners and extremely precise dimensions. Ext...

The artisan half hour puzzle cube (STC-29) by Stewart Coffin. Produced by Eric Fuller at Cubicdissection. This is a pretty straight forward puzzle. The goal is to build a cube. And of corse it was originally named 1/2 hour cube because that’s how long it would take the average person to solve it. Furthermore I will mention that this puzzle doesn’t come with any box or documentation but I did email Eric fuller before listing and I confirmed that it’s and authentic CD half hour cube.

2-in-1 is a twelve piece interlocking burr with a unique solution and a couple challenges; the first puzzle is to figure out what shape it makes, and the second is to make that shape. Ingenious design using full notches makes finding a solution more difficult, as the open spaces concealed in the puzzle allow more false starts.************************************************************For multiple items, combined shipping is available.

The goal of Fano Blocks is to pack seven pairs of identical rectangular pieces flush into the box. These aren't just any pieces, however! They possess unique properties: any two distinct blocks share precisely one edge length in common and any set of two specific edge lengths are held by two identical blocks. The resulting number of edge-matching combinations creates a complicated problem. Finding even one of the eight possible solutions is an accomplishment.Named after the Fano plane (the small...

Eric's description: Slot Machine is a fantastic puzzle, and a ton of fun to solve! Just two pieces dance around each other in the cage...how hard can it be to put them in? Eighteen moves is what it takes, it's a LOT trickier than you expect. A beautiful and fun puzzle.Construction of this puzzle is as good as it gets. The cage ends are milled from solid stock and the cross pieces notched in.

A classic from 1983 that won the Grand Prize in the Hikimi Wooden Puzzle Competition three years later. The objective is to pack the four wooden blocks inside the box. But the pieces are unusually shaped, with some very odd angles. Once you work out the trick to getting that final piece in, you realise there’s a lot of subtlety to those simple looking blocks. This version, crafted by Maurice Vigouroux, weighs 0.8 kg.

A challenging but incredibly satisfying packing puzzle!
