The "Easy Eight" side of the tray appears perfectly straightforward, just a simple square. The problem is that it's kind of tricky to figure out how to get all five letters to lie flat in there at the same time: so many cute ways to fit the letters together, only one way to actually pack them into the tray. Bob couldn't just leave it at that, though. No, it wasn't enough for him to create a really clever and elegant puzzle. He had to do it twice, with the same set of pieces. The (unique) so...

Place all seven pieces into a large square. This square dissection is taken from Greg Frederickson's book, "Dissections Plane & Fancy."

Stéphane Chomine's classic Jerrican.  Only 44 copies made.  Just two simple pieces go into a box with internal obstructions and constrained opening via an incredible 12.4 solution as the pieces dance around each other in delightful ways.  I could sit forever putting the pieces in and out just to relish the very cool way the pieces go up and down and slide past one another.  It was very hard to decide to sell it, but I haven't played with it in a long time and it's so very cool - it deserves...

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.These puzzles are extras and oddballs that have accumulated in the shop.  Sometimes when we make a run of puzzles we will have a few with different woods, etc. which are t...

Like new condition. Solved once.Description:"In keeping with our theme of very unique offerings this month, Chain Store is a very unusual puzzle. The goal is simple; to fit the chain with its five interconnected links completely into the box. The solution is not so simple and very satisfying. I've been excited to make this puzzle for a while, and am very happy with the results."https://cubicdissection.com/products/chain-storeReviews:http://smallpuzzlecollection.blogspot.com/2016/04/chain-store.h...

The puzzle is in excellent condition, never played with and inside the original box, still sealed on top. I opened the box from the bottom side to make the pictures.

Plum 1 from Osanori YamamotoThis is an "apparent cube" packing puzzle, where the goal is to place the pieces such that all of the openings in the box are filled. In addition, one of the pieces includes the plum's "pit", represented by the dark unit cube (see photo). This cube is supposed to be hidden in the final assembly. No rotations are allowed. A total of 20 moves is required (14 moves to remove the first piece from the final assembly). This puzzle had some fun moves and "hiding the pit" add...

Sudachi from Osanori YamamotoThis is an "apparent cube" packing puzzle, where the goal is to place the pieces such that all of the openings in the box are filled. No rotations are allowed. A total of 20 moves is required (12 moves to remove the first piece from the final assembly). Sudachi had a fun combination of moves that I found challenging even when disassembling from the solved state just now.This was purchased new directly from Osanori and it has been solved a few times. There are no cosm...

Taiyaki from Frederic BoucherThe goal is to pack the box with the 6 pieces. Rotations are allowed. Like many of Boucher's puzzles, I found this challenging! However, I thought Taiyaki (and Takoyaki) were good puzzles to be introduced to Boucher's designs. (i.e. they were at least solvable in a reasonable amount of time!) The instruction sheet includes additional puzzles (8 different shapes to make from the pieces).The puzzle, Taiyaki, is named after the Japanese fish-shaped cakes, which the piec...

Takoyaki from Frederic BoucherThe goal is to pack the box with the 6 pieces. Rotations are allowed. I found Takoyaki (and Taiyaki) to be good puzzles to be introduced to Boucher's challenging designs. The instruction sheet includes an additional "symmetric shape" puzzle which took me longer to solve than the packing puzzle itself.The puzzle, Takoyaki, is named after the Japanese ball-shaped snack, which the pieces can form (see photo). This was purchased new and has been solved a few times. Ther...

CUBIZ from Frederic BoucherThe goal is to fit the five Z-shaped pieces into the box. However, the box already has a number of wood pieces fixed to various positions to restrict placements. The box and pieces are bigger than the other Boucher puzzles that I've listed (each voxel = 20 mm or 3/4"), and are nice to work with. The dimensions of the overall box is about 65 mm (2.5") a side.This is easily my favorite Boucher puzzle out of the three I've listed. I felt like I made a series of fun discov...

Up for auction is the STAR TIC puzle designed by Andrew Crowell and produced by Brian Menold of Woodwondersonline. It is supposed to come as take apart challenge first (not like your usual TICs) as the partial cage shpae is different. On request I can also ship it disassembled but it will be a tough one!Payment Options:Generally I prefer SEPA for European customers and Paypal for all others. All other payment methods may be feasible as well but this has to be agreed PRIOR to bidding with me. Ple...

Description from Brian :Straight4ward (designed by Laszlo Molnar)  ships unassembled Laszlo’s been at it again! Another very challenging packing puzzle from,in my opinion, one of the best at designing them! After production on these was almost complete, another solution was discovered with a rotation, however I felt that even with this added solution, this was an extremely difficult puzzle. The restricted opening alone, provides enough of a challenge for me! Try first to find the one solution...

The "BonBon" packing puzzle by Frederic Boucher is just a ton of fun. The set of five tetrominos must be fully inserted in the rectangular box, and there is only one very specific way to do it. The solution requires well over a dozen correct moves, including rotations.The box itself is very unusual, with cutouts in the top and sides. The acrylic top is held in place with a tricky set of shoulders resulting in a great fit which retains a solid exterior presentation.BonBon is constructed with a bu...
