Taking the following from Eric's original listing :"With the invention of the NOS (New Old School) puzzle series, Gregory took the six piece burr format and turned it on its head. The only thing more noteworthy than the uniqueness of the series was how difficult they are to make. When he sent me the plans for them a year ago, I turned him down because it just looked like a nightmare to manufacture. I wasn't wrong...BUT...Gregory came up to me at IPP this summer and let me play with a couple 3D p...

Secret Burr is a re-release of a puzzle I made very limited copies of in 2002. Unique in that it's difficult in both assembly and disassembly, there are two locks inside the burr that interact much like Cutler's Ball Bearing Burr. Instead of steel bearings, Secret Burr uses small wood rectangles. Precision crafted of fine hardwoods, this puzzle not only looks exotic, but has the trickiness to back up its appearance.Precision wood puzzles can be damaged by environmental changes.

I'm glad to be revisiting this fun design! Originally released with limited availability in 2015, the Chicken Puzzle boasts an impressive level 10 solution and a hidden surprise.  The 2020 version was upgraded with an improved chicken byproduct retention system. Yellowheart and Cherry offset each other for that pleasing chicken look without all the annoying chicken poop everywhere. Or do they...? Construction techniques used in this puzzle are unique. The Yellowheart cage is made of only six p...

Another brilliant design by Mr. Eyckmans, "Sloot" means "ditch" in Dutch, a reference to the slots on the sides of this unique puzzle. Taking the six piece board burr to another level, Sloot features a very difficult level 16.6.4 unique solution. The interplay created with asymmetrical stick dimensions, the inner tabs and the outer slot means this puzzle moves entirely unexpected ways! Shipped assembled, disassembly alone is a formidable task.Precision wood puzzles can be damaged by environment...

Hello,i want to sell this tiny lock. Yeah you're right, that next to the lock is a lego coin. So that lock is really tiny. ;)It's made out of metal -probably brass - and has a clever solution. Unfortunately i have no idea who the designer or craftsman is.Shipping can be combined if you are winning more than one of my auctions. The shipping costs will be calculated after the auction. The buyer has to pay the shipping costs but of course no PayPal fees. :)

Double Slideways is a brilliant design and I'm glad we found time to make it again! This is a re-release of Ray's excellent exchange puzzle we last produced in 2014. The exchange edition was in a smaller format and fully notched for production efficiency. This remake is in a larger size and features augmented construction with a triangular stock insert. As a result, there is less void space once assembled, giving this edition smoother operation and more stability in the solved state.We used a ve...

Oskar's Matchboxes has always been one of my favorite designs. In terms of originality, appearance and overall appeal, very few puzzles come close.

With only two solutions, this is quite tricky!Oskar’s Matchboxes is a very time-consuming puzzle to make, with all pieces constructed using the same shoulder joinery that we used...

Confetti Box was designed to cap off 2019, a great year which saw us make more puzzle boxes than we ever have before. It's festive, it's surprising, it's abrupt!

The operation is a new concept for me and I'm eager to see how much of a challenge it proves to be.Precision wood puzzles can be damaged by environmental changes.

Geneva is the first new puzzle by William Hu in quite some time. Named after the clockwork mechanism that it's partially inspired by, the level 9.3.4 solution includes some very unique rotations and coordinate motions. During assembly, there's a fair amount of freedom, with a lot of dead ends to run into and circles to run around in. Geneva is a nice addition to any TIC collection.Precision wood puzzles can be damaged by environmental changes. Please read the Caring for Wood Puzzles guide to e...
