"I don't normally make flat puzzles, but this one by Jerry intrigued me. The goal is to switch the darker end pieces from one side to the other. Simple, right? How about no, Scott. If you do it perfectly it's 89 moves to exchange them. Good luck!Construction of this puzzle is quite nice, with mitered corners and a groovy acrylic top that shows the starting position of the pieces. Fit is, well, flat. Plenty of room to move the pieces inside, this puzzle should have no problems in high humidity en...

"I have been wanting to make this one ever since Alex sent me the design. He has just been producing so many cool designs lately, it took me a while to get around to it. Pillar is four pieces that must be inserted into the unique box and they fill the openings completely.I had acquired some very nice holly and wanted to set off the face of this box with it. The woods used for this box are especially nice. I really love the Pistachio wood. I managed to sang a few small pieces when my wood supplie...

Festival in Ottawa is Osanori Yamamoto’s IPP35 entry - the frame features two unique challenges for the 6 wood pieces: first sliding them through a small "Entrance Gate" and then inserting them through the restricted opening. I need to reluctantly sell some pieces from my collection to replenish puzzle funds; all puzzles are kept in a pet-free room at 68 - 73 F, and 45% - 50% humidity.

"Eight challenges in one puzzle! This should keep you busy for a while. I really enjoyed building and playing with these. I have not yet solved all 8 versions. Slide Swipe is a series of 8 tray packing puzzles, each using the same 5x5 tray with a 3x3 opening on top and various subsets of 12 2D pieces. On the Lacewood version, the pieces can be stored in the bottom of the tray. Both puzzles have 1/4" black acrylic pieces."Puzzle was solved once and stored properly. Includes bag for storing piec...

A unique anti-slide puzzle in 3-dimensions! The pieces inside form a soma cube, but the real challenge comes in trying to fill the top surface in anti-slide conditions (no pieces fall down or move when the box is slid form side to side). Puzzle was properly stored.

“2D and 3D packing problems are my favourites, especially those with only a few pieces, together with a sufficient level of difficulty. I hope you will like Pincers and add it to your collection. You do not need to create the illusion of a full cube inside (like we all do with amazing packing designs by Osanori). Just fit the three pieces below the top layer. So what is the clue here? – the shapes of the pieces and box opening. Study them well to eliminate a huge number of possible assemblie...

Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:“Some years ago I experimented with notched logs in a 5x5x5 box and discovered a wonderful property in the interaction of the different parts. I settled on six copies of each of two shapes. HARUN (aka GUILLOTINE) with its two very simple shapes should be a beginner’s box-packing puzzle. But it didn’t quite turn out that way. This year I searched for more simple pairs of shapes whose arrangement is also very interesting. I have found two pairs – one of t...

Small Box Two - Aha Box.  Perfect condition with original pouch, box and a nice surprise ending.Here is the Cubicdissection description:Small Box Two - "Aha Box" This design was Alan Boardman's IPP exchange puzzle in 2004. He describes it as "Designed to lure your non-puzzler friends into "our" world." It gives very few clues upon handling...it seems to be solid, with no way to open it. A solution does exist, and it's quite tricky to discover. Sturdy and pocket sized, a great puzzle to share wi...

This is Wil Strijbos' Coke Bottle #1.A nut and bolt through the rod keeps it inside the bottle. A small marble is also inside. There is a hidden mechanism that makes this even more complicated that it appears to be.

Japanese cigarette case/puzzle box. Object, open the drawer. This can only marginally be called a puzzle; there is one fairly obvious move, and then the cigarette drawer opens. The drawer is a little sticky and requires a bit of wiggling to open. There is a split in the panel on one side which should be visible in the photos. What I like the most about this is the unique artwork on the box.SPOILER: I'm not completely certain about how it functions; a panel slides about 1/4" one way and the drawe...

From abhishekruikar:Mimosa is a 'sequential movement take apart' puzzle made of laser-cut wood and acrylic. the goal of the puzzle is to remove the object from the case. it's name, 'mimosa', is derived from the 'mimosa pudica' plant's property of reacting to small touch and movements.
