"With the invention of the NOS (New Old School) puzzle series, Gregory took the six piece burr format and turned it on its head. The only thing more noteworthy than the uniqueness of the series was how difficult they are to make. When he originally send me the plans, I turned him down because it just looked like a nightmare to manufacture. I changed my mind after handling a couple 3d printed prototypes. These look like traditional six piece burrs but are nothing like them. The angled internal geometry allows for some outrageous movements. They are very confusing and wonderfully different. This is the final three designs to complete the set. Construction was very challenging, requiring the creation of several new jigs and techniques. "Dodge" is the sixth of the NOS designs and here's what Greg has to say about it..."Because it's never enough, a version with a rotation." This puzzle has four coordinate motion moves, one rotation and a very odd final sequence that had me stumped for a while. Fit is very good, a little loose to account for dry conditions during the period in which it was made. This puzzle is delivered assembled. 58 copies made for sale, each signed and dated. This puzzle is shipped assembled."
The puzzles fit is a little loose. I've not taken this one apart as it is the one that really, really scares me. However, the first 5 or six moves seems to work just fine. See my other auctions for more in the NOS series
The puzzle will ship from the UK with the postage being calculated afterwards. I expect ball park shipping to most countries outside the UK to be around $25 with combined shipping for multiple items costing virtually nothing more.
Selling these to raise funds and space for more puzzles.
