Kinoko Box design by Kyoko Hoshino has a clever locking mechanism that can be seen once the box is open and it will look nice sitting in any room of the house because the wood is exotic and it is an eye candy for people to look at.

Eric’s Description: Strap is an interesting successor to Alkema's Clamp puzzle. The two pieces are filled by four cubes which can manuever internally. The solution is tricky and non-intuitive...all pieces are accessable so there is no need for gravity shifting. There is a rotation shortcut which is quite apparent with disassembly but not at all apparent during assembly, which is nice in my book...almost like two different puzzles. Strap is a lot of fun, and beautif...

Extreme Torture is a great challenging level 28.21.9.8.3 Six board burr puzzle that hasn't gotten as much love and attention from me as it deserves, so I'm offering it up for sale to someone more deserving ;-)   I believe this finely crafted puzzle is the wooden version of the popular mass-produced multi-colored plastic Gordian Knot,  manufactured by Thinkfun.-------------- Winning bidder will be invoiced the total of the winning bid amount + shipping cost to be calculated after the end o...

From Eric's original description :"I very much enjoy rectilinear puzzles with rotations...there's just something interesting about non-linear moves in puzzles which look like they should not be able to move that way. Bergmans "Sun" is nearly the platonic ideal of such a puzzle. No edges are rounded. There's very little structure to give hints. The solution has several dead ends, and even starting can be quite tricky. While this is not a puzzle that will take days to solve, it's def...

One of several Indian Puzzle locks I am selling.  The manufacture of all is best described as rustic.  Some of these locks shows signs of rusting but all are complete and workable. See pictures for condition.  Not much I can say about the mechanisms without giving away the puzzles but all are relatively simple.  Postage will be at cost.Puzzle #6  weighs a massive 1470g over 3lbs. It's big and has no visible keyhole.

Moulin Rouge puzzle design by Stephan Baumegger won Top 10 Vote Getters at IPP37 in Paris, France. This puzzle has a nice locking mechanism and a couple of good A-Ha! moments. Hard to find one nowadays and display nicely in your living room.

This is a unique copy of a previously released puzzle.  Sometimes during a production run there is just enough extra material to make a few copies using alternate wood puzzles. Usually we share these "extras" with family and friends, but occasionally have enough left over to offer a couple here on the Marketplace with only a $.01 starting bid. This puzzle is a signed and dated Signature Series puzzle. This puzzle is shipped assembled.The first image is the alternate puzzle to be sold, the foll...

Eric’s Description: The second puzzle in this update by Perez, Board Burr Rack looks quite simple. Simply slide four burrs into the rack spaces created by the frame. Easy, right? Unfortunately the two cubes trapped inside the rack makes that task substantially more difficult. Each board move affects its neighbors due to the two unit size of the cube it's interacting with, creating a shifting maze of confusion. When fully assembled, none of the boards are able to be ...

James Dalgety's Tokyo IPP21 Exchange PuzzleJames' original wording :"Objective:- Move the Bats in and out of theStumps from side A to side B and back again (notethe small groove on the upper right side of thecentre stump). "This puzzle is (obviously) a pre-cursor to Hanayam's Cricket Puzzle.

“Three-color DANGO” is comprised of three separate lines. The turn of the each DANGO’s color is different from the other. You can move each “Three-color DANGO”right or left. There are three drawers in the lower section of this puzzle box and all the drawers are locked. The front boards of the drawers are colored the same as the DANGO. Now, maybe you’ve already figured out how to play with this work. By moving each “Three-color DANGO”, please unlock the drawers. From a ...

Most of you already know that I have been assembling the last few puzzles for Randal Gatewood after his passing.  And this is his very last puzzle box.   I must admit that I sobbed like a baby as I cut off his hallmark branding-iron stamp from its shaft to formally decommission it.  It has since been cleansed from my tears with an acid wash base and proper buffing, and it now presides firmly attached front and center on his very last puzzle.    It had always been my de...

Accurately made in translucent plastic (methacrylate) it provides a very inexpensive way to enjoy Franco Rocco's puzzle chess set.

This beautiful puzzle hasn't gotten as much love and attention from me as it deserves lately, so I'm offering it up for sale to someone more deserving, and clearing some space on my puzzle shelves for some future puzzle crushes  ;-)   Cubicdissection.com description: "The unique shape of the Rough Night Burr is what initially caught my eye. Combine that with a very elegant set of pieces (two sets of three identical), a unique level 4.5.2.3.3 solution, and some very very tricky moves and yo...

Roger D's much sought after Wasserhahn or taps puzzle. The puzzle in is in great condition though there is some tarnishing on the copper spout piece. This could easily be polished out by a new owner or left in a "natural" state according to preference. It can just be seen by the darker markings in the first picture and in no way detracts from the puzzle.Postage will be by Royal Mail from the UK or by hand to any of the usual London, Midlands or International Puzzle parties.

This Gordian Knot puzzlebox was never completed from its limited edition run.  Instead its many pieces rested in a storage box for several years.  These were set aside for mechanical issues, or because they required the re-cutting of missing parts in order to be finished.  At the time, Robert decided that they required so much attention that they were just not cost effective to complete.Robert agreed to let me (his apprentice) work on such puzzles when there is little else to do in the shop,...
