Three Sticks Trapped Interlocking Puzzle
Eric was searching for some new designs to make, and wandered over to Ishino's site. It had been a while since he checked, and he found that Chomine was putting out some interesting creations using internally studded frames and notched sticks. He chose several designs which he felt gave a good sampling of appearance and difficulty, and emailed him for permission. Stéphane agreed!Three sticks trapped is the simplest of the Chomine puzzles this batch, but it may be the most satisfying. With a uni...

Taxi
from puzzlepalace.comThis puzzle is a collaboration between me and Oskar van Deventer. My idea involved two pieces, where the pins of one piece connect to grooves in the other piece and vice verse. The grooves in both pieces should form a maze pattern. After some failed attempts, Oskar simplified this idea to the extreme. Each piece should have just a single pin and a single meandering groove. This way, the puzzle effectively turned into an N.G. de Bruijn "Beer Bottle Problem", see page 373 of "...

Heart Puzzle, William Waite, 1998.
Not actually sure what he called this one...it's not listed on his site anymore, and I don't appear to have an instruction sheet for it. "William Waite" is laser-engraved on the inside of the tray. One of his many, many laser-cut tray puzzles.

KitchenFloor, William Waite, 1998.
Kitchen Floor puzzle from William Waite, 1998. I don't appear to have an instruction sheet for it. "William Waite" is laser-engraved on the inside of the tray. One of his many, many laser-cut tray puzzles. You're supposed to make a symmetric design with the holes; there are some notes about this on William's website. Despite there being LOTS of solutions, it's pretty difficult to assemble. I was happy to assemble it without symmetric holes. Puzzle weighs under 3 ounces.

One Block Box Puzzle - Simon Nightingale / Manvell
Also known as the One Piece Blockhead Puzzle. This two piece puzzle has a simple objective; put the white block in the lacewood box. Unfortunately, the main hidden mechanism in the box does not appear to reset correctly, so I've never been able to "unsolve" the puzzle. Perhaps you can. As it stands, the block easily drops into the box interior. Designed by Nightengale, made by Andy and Mary Manvell. On Feb. 10, 2013 13:25:24, the following description has been added:Based on the relatively high ...

Nested Burr Four
from cubic dissection.com:As soon as I saw this design on Ishino's site I knew I wanted to make it. The unique design of the burr pieces was interesting enough, but when I assembled the puzzle (note that I did not say solve! I gave up after an hour or so...) I also discovered that there is a lot of interaction between the pieces and the sides of the frame. This is truly a unique design.This puzzle is very stoutly made. The canarywood internals are connected to the outer paduak ring with a half l...

TriangleQuorn (2006) and MixTeaser2 (2005) by William Waite
These are two teeny puzzles (about 2" each) from William Waite. The object of both is to make a symmetric configuration with the pieces in the tray. TriangleQuorn appears to no longer be on his website. The MixTeaser 2 is now called Miniature MixTeaser 2, but it's still 2" wide. Neither is particularly difficult.

The World's Puzzle, ©1886
Wood block with 36 holes. Object is to place 6 pins in such a way that no 2 pins are in the same row, column or diagonal. There is a hole in the side of the block for the pins, but they (and the probably cork stopper) are missing. The game advertises the World's Educator, a game from W.S. Reed from 1887. The puzzle is a premium marked from "L.E. Stables" or something similar, as the stamp is hard to read. With the puzzle is a copy of an 1886 patent by A.W. Butterworth that describes this game.(...

Prototype of Bill's Game
This is a 1987 prototype of an unusual three-dimensional puzzle and/or game in which blocks have to be assembled in such a way that the black areas continue from one block to the next. It comes with a photocopy of typed rules -- but they are in Italian only, so I do not know how the game/puzzle plays exactly; there are 4 pages of illustrations plus 6 Polaroid pictures of the blocks assembled in various ways; from these photos, it appears that there are design elements to the game.Bill's Game was...
