This Kumiki style dog puzzle is not actually a Stickman design, but was crafted and modified by Robert Yarger to be a Christmas ornament for family presents in 2004. As I clean out the many shelves of my works, I look up and here is this tiny little guy just standing there, all lonely. It just seemed a shame to leave this poor little dude all there by himself on the shelf, when all of his other puzzle friends are going out to explore the great wide world. It is made from walnut, and is a mode...

Stickman 2011 Christmas Present Puzzles were never publically sold, but rather given out to a few friends and family as presents. A couple of collectors managed to talk me out of my spares, so this is my last and only copy of this particular design, and I shall not make any more. This puzzle is not overly complex, and only requires 4-5 steps to solve, but it does use a unique concept to start, and opens along “seems that seem unseemly”. The fit and finish on this puzzle is not as fine ...

These Ambidextrous Hexduos cube puzzles come as a pair and were crafted for IPP exchange in 2011. Ordinary exchange puzzle versions of this design were made from simple basswood, but these are some of the few made with intricate inlays instead. They are a very interesting design, and each box requires the other as a key to lock and unlock its secret compartment. They are featured with more background on page 36 of the Stickman book. These puzzles do not include any instructions or limited...

The Stickman No. 16 Puzzlebox is not only a puzzle, but also a complete set of working dominoes skillfully crafted by my good friend John Devost. Most dominoes crafted for these puzzles were made from holly, but this puzzle is one of the very few that had their dominoes made from very ornate burl instead, and they are freaking beautiful. The only way to solve the puzzle, open the box and remove the dominoes is by tilting, poking and tapping the internal dominoes into different positions or ...

This Stickman No. 15 Puzzlebox is beautifully crafted and in perfect condition. After popping out the one loose tile, this puzzle works like any other sliding tile puzzle; though the tiles are made from wood, and instead of producing a picture, its solution will reveal a three-dimensional carving design. If you ever need a hint, a finished duplicate of the carving can be found on the base. After the puzzle is solved, the lid of this box can slide back revealing a secret compartment. There...

The Stickman No. 4 has two secret compartments that can only be opened by lining up three especially inlayed wooden tiles with corresponding inlays at each end of the puzzle. Tiles can be moved to different sides or ends of this puzzle through use of a unique mechanical clutch found in the middle. Clutch hands can be pulled up to grab a tile, then pushed back down and rotated to different sides to extract them. This puzzle is in perfect working condition but, does have a small chip on on...

All Stickman No. 3 puzzles were a bit on the rough side, but this one is perhaps a bit rougher than most. All mechanical parts do work, but at several places have to be helped along the way. It easily comes apart with a screwdriver, so perhaps someone with a bit of woodworking skill, and piece of sandpaper, and a few hours of spare time could address the sticky spots. But for the moment, it currently falls below the noramal operation of most puzzles from this series, in that some moves stick ...

This Stickman Magic Tile Lock box is not really a puzzle, but rather more of a combination lock box. Even then, it is not much of a lock box. The 4 tiles that produce the combination happen to just have their order and direction stamped into their backs. However, replace them in any other direction or order and the unique internal mechanism will still lock the box up solid. Its mechanism was a pre-curser to the Illogical Puzzlebox much later. Internally, it contains a sliding tray, one m...

This is a miniature briefcase-style take-apart puzzle designed and manufactured by Kathleen Malcolmson and presented by Norman Sandfield in the most recent IPP. I know the picture shows IPP 31, but it was not presented then since Norman Sandfield was unable to attend IPP 31.

from karakuri.gr.jp:When we tie up a belt or paper tape well, a knot that is called"Chiyo-Musubi" is completed.In Japan, it is said to be a lucky knot.We can see it as a Chopsticks bag, and others.The craftsman wanted to make a work based on this shape.It has 19 moves, and the movements cross each other.It was much more difficult to make than expectation.Well, the shape of this "Chiyo-Musubi" is a Pentagon.I'm selling these puzzles to fund future puzzle-making equipment, and of course to buy mor...

Here is William Strijbos' description of this puzzle: I designed this puzzle around 1984 and it was my first puzzle box. At that time I produced only 6 of them (for Jerry Slocum – Nob. Yoshigahara – Dick Hess – Edward Hordern – James Dalgety). Now I have reproduced this design in an improved, metal version (previously it had been made of Formica or a similar material). The challenge is: Try to get the Rod out. No Tapping required – No Magnets – No External Tools.

To solve Snake Ball, the two donuts have to be pushed into each other. A spherical pin at one donut moves inside the grooves of the other and vice verse. All grooves are cut in a helical pattern around the donuts, so the two donuts always rotate simultaneously, which is very confusing. At some point, the puzzle feels almost solved, but the donuts cannot come apart. There, you have to make the parity-changing move and then you have to solve a second maze. Both mazes are completely different, and ...
