Tube It In by Wil Strijbos 2020 Edition (RPP)
Tube It In is a classic design by Wil Strijbos. To solve it you have to take the various small rectangular pieces and pack them all inside each other. Wil originally made it with small cut sections of metal pipe! What an original and fun idea, still unique to this day. The puzzle itself is moderately tricky and fun to solve.Construction of this puzzle is painstaking. Each piece is strengthened with shouldered joinery on the edges and then beveled on all faced. This was very tricky indeed with su...

New Melting Block by John Rausch (RPP)
New Melting Block by John Rausch is an improved version of Tom Obeirne's original Melting Block puzzle. This paradoxical 3-D packing puzzle has two unique assemblies, one using seven pieces and the other using all eight. There are two possible solutions for each assembly.The seven-piece solution seems to fill the box entirely, with little room to spare. The leftover block seems far too large to fit in the box...yet somehow, impossibly, the eighth piece does fit when the second solution is discov...

Fidget Burr by Tim Alkema (RPP)
Fidget burr was an easy decision to make. A seemingly simple 3x3 cube, it's actually a five-piece interlocking burr with a level 12 solution. Three burr pieces nest inside two identical frame pieces. Disassembly of this puzzle is VERY tricky, with many false paths and dead ends. Fidget Burr is a ton of fun and it turned out very well.Precision wood puzzles can be damaged by environmental changes.

205 Minutes by Aleksandr Leontev (RPP)
Leontev's 205 Minutes is a masterpiece in both design and construction. So named because if you make one correct move per second, non stop, it will take you 205 minutes to disassemble. This n-ary juggernaut requires over 12 thousand moves to disassemble. Once disassembled, a reset mechanism allows you to quickly bring it to the original state with only four moves. It also comes with the 136 minute piece which only requires around 8,000 moves to solve.It was a difficult decision to make this puzz...

Missing Notch by Stewart Coffin (RPP)
Missing Notch is one of Stewart Coffins more difficult assembly puzzles. The six pieces are nearly identical, with notched out centers and two angled notches on the outside. One piece is missing an angled notch, which obviates the obvious coordinate motion assembly. Can you figure out the alternate methodology?This puzzle came out very nicely, with a precise fit and a solid maple cube with magnets on each face to keep the inherently instable assembly together once solved.Precision wood puzzles ...

SQUARE TARGET
Like new. Fiendish.Description:"“Another puzzle by the amazingly prolific Osanori Yamamoto, this will, of course, require rotations. There are 4 pieces in the frame and the hole is shaped such that they can only be extricated after turning to the correct orientation. Having said that the main challenge of this puzzle is actually to find the correct linear moves to make space for the rotations to occur and working out which order to remove the pieces. The reassembly is also a challenge if you d...

Like new. Nearly killed me. Description:“The third puzzle by Osanori Yamamoto could easily be called the 'Hashtag' – 4 simple shapes are assembled on a frame in a # shape and need to be removed after arranging them into the correct orientation and position. As one would expect from Osanori, rotations are required… quite a LOT of them! This is trickier than one would expect as the sliding movement and rotation of the pieces is very blocked and requires quite a bit of planning. Eventually I...
