I made this puzzle back in 2001 from Walnut.It can be considered one of my very first puzzles that for years was a close relatives keepsake who has now passed on.Obviously not very challenging as far as puzzles go but it does display nicely.  I originally used pure Tung Oil as a finish but quickly realized the ‘error in my ways’, and moved on to a Lacquer finish and subsequently adding the ‘Beall Triple Buffing’ method.  I gave this puzzle a thorough Buffing and added a Conservator’s...

I only ever made two of these puzzles for the IPP Design Competition (San Francisco) in 2009.  It’s a fun puzzle that can be very confusing to assemble from pieces even if you see the assembled shape.Several years ago Scott Peterson (at my insistence) made a very nice run of them and later Tom Lensch (at John Rausch’s insistence) made a run, with some featuring Holly, Ebony and Rosewood!I recently was able to acquire some 1/2” size stock and decided to make a few.  This can be consider...

"Daedalus by Gregory Benedetti is an utterly unique masterpiece of design. Brilliantly creative and brutally tricky, Daedalus hides its secrets well. The beautiful exterior gives no clue to the sheer pandemonium hiding inside. What appears to be a simple cube is an interlocking maze that continually changes its state with rotations, dead ends, and deception. Simple disassembly is a challenge; reassembly is genuinely an accomplishment. Daedalus is difficult to make. Each puzzle contains pieces...

Tropical Fish was a super limited release from Brian at Wood Winders back in 2019.  Such a beautifully crafted burr puzzle with each piece gliding perfectly between each other.  I don’t have a laptop anymore nor access to Burr tools and I unfortunately have one piece removed from the puzzle.  You’ll want to obtain the file from Brian and put back together before you start your win journey.  I apologize for this.   Puzzle offers the following difficulty: 19.5.1.1.2I’m throwing in Cubi...

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...

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 w...
