This is a unique copy of a previously released puzzle.  Sometimes during a production run there is just enough extra material to make a few copies using alternate wood puzzles. Usually we share these "extras" with family and friends, but occasionally have enough left over to offer a couple here on the Marketplace with only a $.01 starting bid. This puzzle is a signed and dated Signature Series puzzle. This puzzle is shipped assembled.The first image is the alternate puzzle to be sold, the foll...

Eric’s Description: The second puzzle in this update by Perez, Board Burr Rack looks quite simple. Simply slide four burrs into the rack spaces created by the frame. Easy, right? Unfortunately the two cubes trapped inside the rack makes that task substantially more difficult. Each board move affects its neighbors due to the two unit size of the cube it's interacting with, creating a shifting maze of confusion. When fully assembled, none of the boards are able to be ...

James Dalgety's Tokyo IPP21 Exchange PuzzleJames' original wording :"Objective:- Move the Bats in and out of theStumps from side A to side B and back again (notethe small groove on the upper right side of thecentre stump). "This puzzle is (obviously) a pre-cursor to Hanayam's Cricket Puzzle.

“Three-color DANGO” is comprised of three separate lines. The turn of the each DANGO’s color is different from the other. You can move each “Three-color DANGO”right or left. There are three drawers in the lower section of this puzzle box and all the drawers are locked. The front boards of the drawers are colored the same as the DANGO. Now, maybe you’ve already figured out how to play with this work. By moving each “Three-color DANGO”, please unlock the drawers. From a ...

Most of you already know that I have been assembling the last few puzzles for Randal Gatewood after his passing.  And this is his very last puzzle box.   I must admit that I sobbed like a baby as I cut off his hallmark branding-iron stamp from its shaft to formally decommission it.  It has since been cleansed from my tears with an acid wash base and proper buffing, and it now presides firmly attached front and center on his very last puzzle.    It had always been my de...

This 4th version (2014) will be limited to an edition of 1000 copies (without certificates). Accurately made in translucent plastic (methacrylate) it provides a very inexpensive way to enjoy Franco Rocco's puzzle chess set. Each cube is a little over 6 cm (The height of the King) and includes the 16 pieces of one side plus a locking key-piece. 

This beautiful puzzle hasn't gotten as much love and attention from me as it deserves lately, so I'm offering it up for sale to someone more deserving, and clearing some space on my puzzle shelves for some future puzzle crushes  ;-)   Cubicdissection.com description: "The unique shape of the Rough Night Burr is what initially caught my eye. Combine that with a very elegant set of pieces (two sets of three identical), a unique level 4.5.2.3.3 solution, and some very very tricky moves and yo...

Roger D's much sought after Wasserhahn or taps puzzle. The puzzle in is in great condition though there is some tarnishing on the copper spout piece. This could easily be polished out by a new owner or left in a "natural" state according to preference. It can just be seen by the darker markings in the first picture and in no way detracts from the puzzle.Postage will be by Royal Mail from the UK or by hand to any of the usual London, Midlands or International Puzzle parties.

This Gordian Knot puzzlebox was never completed from its limited edition run.  Instead its many pieces rested in a storage box for several years.  These were set aside for mechanical issues, or because they required the re-cutting of missing parts in order to be finished.  At the time, Robert decided that they required so much attention that they were just not cost effective to complete.Robert agreed to let me (his apprentice) work on such puzzles when there is little else to do in the shop,...

Three-dimensional two-piece maze. 

This is a special copy of the Double Slideways puzzle what was made for the IPP design competition. It is much nicer than the regular Slideways puzzle. Its larger, with 1" stock instead of .75". It uses nicer woods, and has an additional triangular piece that makes the puzzle slide much nicer than the regular production version. It was made in very limited numbers, maybe a dozen total. Several were given to Ray for the design competition, and a handful were for sale on the site but they wer...

PLEASE NOTE that this is a special version made of solid mahogany which is not reflected in the pictures below! RELEASED:4.21.2016PRODUCED:47 CopiesDESIGNER:Tom JollyCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Sapele and Carolina AshCOMMENTS:I really liked Tom's Cubic Burr 6.9 design, and when I messaged him he said he thought he could do even better. So he went back to the drawing board and came up with an iteration that has a level 5.8.8 solution. Eight moves to get the *third* piece out...this one's toug...

RELEASED:12.16.2015PRODUCED:48 CopiesDESIGNER:Masumi OhnoCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Bloodwood and Yellowheart / Lacewood and Maple / Shedua and BloodwoodCOMMENTS:I saw this puzzle at the IPP design competition this summer and know I had to make it. I was very happy when Mr. Ohno allowed me permission! Cubane is a three dimensional interlocking maze replete with loops and dead ends. It's very reminiscent of the excellent "Wanderer" puzzle by Oskar van Deventer and Tom Lensch. Navigating from s...

RELEASED:6.23.2016PRODUCED:46 CopiesDESIGNER:Logan KleinwaksCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Peruvian Walnut and Carolina AshCOMMENTS:It's been three years since Logan's excellent Constrained Burr series and his baffling Two Burrs in a Corner, but he wasn't resting on his success. He was plotting, working, scheming...to surpass his previous achievements. And boy did he succeed! Two Burrs in a Basket is a major accomplishment, with a level 2.25 just to get the pieces out of the basket! Here's more i...

RELEASED:12.16.2015PRODUCED:55 CopiesDESIGNER:Gregory BenedettiCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:MapleCOMMENTS: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 sent me the plans for them a year ago, I turned him down because it just looked like a nightmare to manufacture. I wasn't wrong...BUT...Gregory came up to m...

His "Galaxy" series really caught my eye with its non-traditional shape and interesting movements. While Galaxy 1 is only level 4, it's tricker than you think due to all the horizontal pieces being the sa...

RELEASED:2.17.2016PRODUCED:32 CopiesDESIGNER:Tamás VanyóCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Walnut, Maple, Camaru or ZebrawoodCOMMENTS:I've been sitting on this design for quite a while now, waiting until I had the time to make it. I really liked the meta aspect of a set of pentominos hiding inside a larger set, but I knew it would be an undertaking to craft. The frame and pieces were very time consuming, with shouldered joinery, through milling on the connector pieces, and every edge beveled on the...

RELEASED:8.14.2014PRODUCED:47 CopiesDESIGNER:Ray StantonCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Sappy WalnutCOMMENTS:Ray took the Slideways design and went a lot further down the road with his Double Slideways design!
