Daedalus by Gregory Benedetti is an utterly unique masterpiece of
design. Brilliantly creative and brutally tricky, Daedalus hides its
secrets well. The beautiful exterior gives no clue to the sheer
pandemonium hiding inside. What appears to be a simple cube is an
interlocking maze that continually changes its state with rotations,
dead ends, and deception. Simple disassembly is a challenge; reassembly
is genuinely an accomplishment.
Daedalus is difficult to make.
Each puzzle contains pieces from a single plank organized by grain and
color and tracked throughout the crafting process, a substantial
handling and organization challenge. Select frame cubes are milled
0.003" oversized in only one dimension, an imperceptible value followed
throughout the production process. The 27 unique cubes receive 324
bevels, 33 stopped notches, and 18 flat-bottomed holes pressed with
pins. All operations are done by hand within 0.003" accuracy. The
increased price of this final release is an accurate reflection of our
costs. We have no plans to rerelease this puzzle in the future.
87 total copies available in this final release. 29 copies in Jatoba, 27 copies in Chechen, 19 copies in Rosewood, and 13 copies in Dark Chechen. Each puzzle is signed and dated. This puzzle is shipped assembled.
Our work is handcrafted to very precise tolerances and must be kept within the range of 40-60% relative humidity at all times. Failure to do so may cause inoperability or permanent damage.
