"Wheel and Axle" was designed and manufactured by the late great Frank Chambers of Ireland, the MASTER of Corian material puzzles. "Wheel and Axle" was used by Frank as his exchange puzzle at IPP23 held in Chicago in 2023.
The goal of "Wheel and Axle" is simply to remove the axle! A very clean, sleek, and elegant design.
"Wheel and Axle" is as received at IPP23 in 2003, with its original label. It did not come with instructions (but the instructions are pretty clear: remove the axle). I will include a copy of the solution to "Wheel and Axle" from the IPP23 booklet.
I will ship within the US as a ground advantage (new terminology
replacing "first class") package for around $5.35, or if preferred, at
insured priority mail pricing
(likely from between
$10.20 and $12.55, depending on postal code). I am happy
to ship
internationally at cost --- typically around $17.10 for a small sturdy item like
this --- but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
