Vectes / Ghidorah
"This puzzle is two designs in one - the cage comes with two sets of burr pieces (one a six unit length and the other an eight unit length) which are entirely different puzzles to insert. The designs were released at roughly the same time, and I found them both interesting. When I realized they shared the same cage, I was in! Both designers graciously gave permission, and so I present to you the combined Vectes / Ghidorah Box. Ghidorah is the "warm up" difficulty with a level 22.3 solution. Once...

Tom's Square Dance
from cubicdissection.com:Oh Tom, you crafty little devil. Once again he comes out with a very interesting and unique design that I can't resist making. Tom's Square Dance consists of nine pieces which interlock into the surrounding frame. WIth a unique level 1.8.5.3.4 solution, this is a tricky nut to crack. Simply identifying piece positions is quite tricky, and sorting out the insertion order and moves necessary simply compounds the difficulty. Definitely doable, but definitely difficult. I'm ...

Stickman Padlock Puzzle (limited edition # 60)
. . . After making the Stickman Pirates’ Wallet Puzzlebox, I ended
up with roughly 8 extra copies of the padlock puzzles that went on them. This is one of the last 3 of these I have. Although this is not a puzzlebox, it is
exceptionally well made, and a most satisfying puzzle to solve - requiring a
minimum of 8 steps to take fully apart.. . . If you currently have a Pirate’s Wallet Puzzlebox, then this
is identical to the padlock already on your puzzlebox. If not, then this would be a...

Wooden-Do-It
Wooden-Do-It, mid 1900s, Garner Products, NY. Rare. Unique. I doubt any collectors have this one! Various-shaped pieces fit together in different ways to form different objects. The instruction sheet numbers all 13 pieces that are stuck together on a long rod, the finished assembly looking like a cigar; examples of objects are shown, with numbers indicating which pieces are used to put the object together.

Arungo ring-maze
Arungo, from Little Harbor. It's a ring-maze, a bit like the "Cast Bicycle", but much, much bigger. The maze is set on a flat wooden base, but can be removed from the base for solving it (it isn't glued together, and the base does not appear to be part of the maze). The box is 12"x8.5"x3.5", and the puzzle not much smaller than that. Weight is 1 lb 4 oz without any packing. Made in Maine, USA, probably around the 1990's.

Tom Jolly - Twist the Night Away
from cubicdissection.com:I was showing various puzzles to an IPP attendee when they skipped right over this one. I started to show it to them and they said "Everything interesting that can be done with 4x4 cubes has already been done". I laughed and showed them about half of the solution, at which time they cried "Stop - I'll take it!". This really is a fabulously interesting cube, and Tom really hit the ball out of the park with it. It's just a downright fun puzzle that still puts a smile on my...
