Description

Released in September of ‘19. Very cool little packing puzzle with many pieces. Incredibly crafted by Eric Fuller using many different woods.

Eric wrote this about the puzzle:

This is the second edition of Tube It In, originally released in 2016. This edition is dimensionally the same, with different woods and the addition of magnets to keep the puzzle assembled once solved.

Tube It In is a classic design by Wil Strijbos. To solve it you have to take the various small rectangular pieces and pack them all inside each other. Wil originally made it with small cut sections of metal pipe! What an original and fun idea, still unique to this day. The puzzle itself is moderately tricky and fun to solve.

Construction of this puzzle was painstaking. Each piece is strengthened with shouldered joinery on the edges and then beveled all the way around. On such small pieces, this was very tricky indeed. Furthermore, the original metal puzzle had different thickness pieces, which meant that the wooden version with uniform thickness pieces required a near-total redesign.

89 total copies made for sale, each signed and dated. This puzzle is shipped assembled.

3.5% handling fee will be added to winning bid.
