Wil Strijbos made several bolt puzzles, including this design.The goal is to remove the ring (see last picture, no spoiler).This design is referred to as #2 according to Haubrichs catalog of bolt and nut puzzles.This is a later reproduction by Wil, produced around 2016, with one end of the pin made from brass.It has a few very minor dents on the outside, which is common for this type of puzzle (see pictures).

Unsafe Deposit and Bolt Action have been considered by the MPD to be gateway puzzles into the Sequential Discovery genre for good reasons. They're cheap and easy to get while also being excellent puzzles with tools and quirks to be discovered!An enjoyable puzzle for sure, but I need to clear out some space in my collection (not that selling these two tiny puzzles will net me much room). Also, they're being sold as a bundle, because if you have one then you need to own the other one.They also hav...

Egg shaped dexterity puzzle. 

Box Rebellion was previously released as an IPP exchange puzzle in 2004 by Walt Hoppe. Similar to the wildly popular 4L design, Box Rebellion is a tricky multiple-step packing puzzle with a single solution. The four identical pieces must be packed into the box but are blocked by an odd-shaped acrylic slider over the top which only allows one side of the box to be accessible at a time. The solution includes multiple rotations.************************************************************For multipl...

Very fun and well-made popular take apart puzzle from Jon Keegan.

A very nice 12 pieces coordinated motion from Vinco.The fit can be considered as a little bit loosy but the sliding of the coordinated motion is just so smoothy that you want to play with ever and ever.For me : This is one of the best designs of Vinco : there is two way to disassemble it which are symmetrical, which are a sort of 4 pieces coordinated motion. During the disassembling there is a transfert which is possible of a solution to the other and you can also disassemble it like a 12 coordi...

Topless Box had me confounded for a VERY long time. The 'aha' moment for this one is why it is so sought after. Here is the description from the website:Topless Box by Eric Fuller was my contribution to the legendary Apothecary Puzzle Chest. Topless is an unusual challenge; with two lids and no top, how can it be opened? The solution is tricky and will surprise you. Originally released in 2012, we found strong demand with our re-release last year and decided to make one more batch for newer col...

The El Capitan Puzzle Box is a creation from BeardsWoodShopCo, also creator of Thor’s Hammer and many other well known puzzles! The box is crafted of at least 4 different hard woods, there could be a fifth but I’m terrible at identifying! All in all, the puzzle box definitely has that “Wow!”, and if you’re a fan of Marvel Comics, or Captain America, it’s a must have! The solve is of average difficulty, but since this puzzle looks great on the shelf, it’s well worth the show off poi...

A 3-piece burr requiring 8 moves to remove the first piece.  Puzzle is sturdy and a bit tight on some of the moves.  This was Eric Fuller's exchange puzzle at IPP26 held in Boston in 2006.  The puzzle is complete in its original plastic bag as presented at IPP26, complete with solution and Eric's business card (at the time).  I will ship within the US at insured priority mail pricing (around $10), and am happy to ship overseas at cost (The minimum cost for an overseas package is $15.50...

This work was designed as a KCG Christmas present for 2019. From the KCG website:Based on “8 BURR” (K-9) produced in 1982, it was finished in a Karakuri box. The box is assembled like an interlocking puzzle, and a mechanism like Karakuri box is built in the lid. It doesn't fall apart, so it looks like a kumiki, but it functions as a Karakuri box.Payment is accepted through PayPal.  The buyer will pay the exact cost of shipping once the buyers location is declared.  Please inquire with any...

Very hefty, high-quality metal packing puzzle. Excellent condition with a few surface imperfections that don't affect the solve in any way.From CD: Feed The Monkey is the first packing puzzle from the (in)famous Two Brass Monkeys collaboration. The goal is simply to feed all the bananas to your monkey so that none are left sticking out of his or her mouth. The solution is deceptive and unexpected, and I think for a first try they have nailed it!The construction of this puzzle is impressive. S...
