Stickman Sphere Puzzle Box (No 18)
The following description taken from Eric's original listing here :"The Stickman Sphere Puzzlebox ( No. 18 ) is quality hand-crafted by artist Robert Yarger out of monticello, pauduk, holly, bloodwood and cocobolo. The core of this extremely unique puzzlebox contains a single secret compartment. Its internal sphere can rotate like a gyro within its orbital cage, but it also consists of two half-spheres that can be turned independently of each other. A combination of both movement types a...

Katie Koala
A recent realignment of the celestial spheres has made it imperative that I sell the remaining few puzzles in my collection that have not already been sent to eastern Europe for safekeeping. As such, my final listing is the one I thought I would be least likely to sell: Katie Koala.She has been disassembled for a photo with her joey, but it seems I've run out of time to reassemble her before listings close. If you want more photos, send me a DM.One note: During initial disassembly of the puzzle,...

Improved Pagoda - 16 moves
This sequential movement puzzle box is the improved version of the one entered in the IPP 29 Design competition in San Francisco.The Improved Pagoda is a much better puzzle in as much as it covers up "clues" that gave the solver "a big hint" on how to open it.

Kamei Bottle
The is Kamei's Bottle. A lovely and quite large puzzle. Obviously it has been damaged and repaired. That said the scratches are not very noticeable (and most are on the bottom) and the repair work leave a perfectly, smoothly, functioning puzzle. The box is ratty but it is included.

Rail Box
Rail BoxRail Box looks like just another caged burr at first glance. It's only after playing with it that the genius of the design is apparent. Four identical vertical pieces dance around the two longer horizontal pieces to create a unique level 18 solution. Not only do you need to determine the position, but orientation becomes important as well. A nice challenge for the seasoned puzzler, yet approachable for the intermediate / beginner. The puzzle measures 2.25” by 1.5” and was designed by...

Stickman Burl Tile Puzzlebox (Special Dragon Edition)
By all rights, this Stickman Burl Tile Puzzlebox should not exist. Assembled from spare parts, it does not have a limited edition number, and therefore falls outside of the limited edition set. Normally, such spare parts would be tossed. But I, (Robert’s apprentice), just could not bear the thought of scrapping them. With Robert’s permission, they were salvaged from their dismal fate, and given to me with the understanding that, if I put in all the required work, I could have this la...

Stickman Try-Knot Puzzlebox
I (Robert’s apprentice) repaired this Stickman Try-Knot puzzle box from a crate of unfinished puzzles that Rob has. There are perhaps enough parts to assemble another 5 or so of these, but he apparently just stopped putting them together at one time. This one was already mostly assembled, but required some attention to a few cosmetic issues in order to be totally perfect.A formal description can be seen on Robert’s website, as it is unique enough that I can’t figure how to describe...
