Rex's output is very limited, and we're not sure we will get more once these are gone.GOAL:  Remove the black token (coin) inside the puzzle with out using brute force or unscrewing the screws. Note: This is the original version of the puzzle with a coin inside. Rex had switched to an acrylic token instead of a coin due to problems ...

With a relatively easy 6.7 level difficulty it's excellent for new puzzlers, while our usual dedication to precision and quality woodworking makes it a great choice to add to your existing puzzle lock collection.For this release, we have made two variants: one with an ash body and wenge pieces, and the other with a Bubinga frame and birdseye maple c...

MagneTeam packing puzzle incorporates multiple challenges to keep you busy for some time! The first task is packing the three Grandillo pieces into the box so that all openings are filled, giving the illusion of a solid inner cube. The highest level assembly conforms to this requirement, with the other four falling short. The second task shares the same goal with the fourth piece's addition (made from Morado). This arrangement has three possible assemblies, and again the solution is the most cha...

I noticed a lot of interesting board and stick burrs coming out on Ishino's site so I decided to make batch of them. After looking at a couple dozen designs I chose six for their representation of the various concepts and levels of difficulty.This and the Quads and Rings 1 are probably the entry-level puzzles in this category when it comes to difficulty. Worm Inside is fairly basic, with the added twist of two smaller acrylic "worms" that are to be inserted alongside the wood wenge sticks. A tri...

Vortex is a unique construction with a tricky and unique solution. With two pairs of pieces and color symmetry, you'd think this one would be trivial. Trust me, it's not. MANY rotations and a level 21 solution make this a challenge.Fit is precise and wood pieces are milled from solid wood...which was tricky.Note: Original packaging and documentation not included. Very slight UV color fading is present on the Maple pieces. See photo for detail. This copy has no signature or date. ***************...

Believe it or not, this is the simpler iteration of the Quads and Rings series. Four wooden burr pieces interlock with two acrylic pieces with a level 13.5 solution. Doable despite the high level because a lot of the moves just follow. Achieving the checkerboard pattern is a secondary challenge.Construction is excellent, with close tolerances but plenty of room to maneuver.Note: Original packaging and documentation not included. This copy is made from Ash and Bloodwood, which is different from t...

When I saw this design on Ishino's site, I couldn't resist asking Alfons's permission to make it. A neat little puzzle, with a tricky level 24 solution. The contrast between the solid exotic wood and shiny acrylic makes this display like a little gem once solved. It's worth noting that this is physically a very small puzzle due to the unit size being enforced by the .22 acrylic thickness.Ships disassembled, each piece signed and dated. Burrtools solution available upon request after you've had a...

As soon as I saw the Gaia design I knew I wanted to make it. The structure is very unique, incorporating stick pieces and board pieces with a constraining cage. The unique level 11.2 solution is not as difficult as you would think, making this a fairly approachable puzzle. When solved the acrylic nicely sets off the three wood combination.Fit is very precise, and the cage features rabbited joinery for strength. Stick pieces are milled from solid wood.Note: Original packaging and documentation no...

After looking at a couple dozen designs I chose six for their representation of the various concepts and levels of difficulty.Four Stick Eight is a whopper when it comes to difficulty, having a level 21 unique solution. This is a very difficult and confusing puzzle. Even with directions it can get tricky! The four woods display nicely once the puzzle is assembled, and overall I li...

The Carbo Cube is a very interesting miniature...four stick and two board pieces form a cube with a translucent center. Moderate in difficulty, this puzzle has a unique level 6.2 solution. The checkerboard pattern shows well and begs to be played with.The fit is very nice on this puzzle, and it's small enough that it should not be affected by humidity very much at all. Each wood piece is milled from solid stock with no gluing.Note: Original packaging and documentation not included. ************...
