4L Bin
This is a very interesting (and fairly difficult) packing puzzle from the wonderful mind of Goh Pit Khiam. Crafter by the master craftsman Tom Lensch the goal is to place the 4 pieces into the box to make it appear full, from the front. There are finger manipulation openings on the back and base.The design is very clever and the solution has a few stages and a really nice aha moment too. The Box is finished with Brass Pins to give it a unique look and feel.A real collectors piece.

New Melting Blocks
Description from CubicDissection: New Melting Block by John Rausch is an improved version of Tom Obeirne's original Melting Block puzzle. This paradoxical 3-D packing puzzle has two unique assemblies, one using seven pieces and the other using all eight. There are two possible solutions for each assembly.The seven-piece solution seems to fill the box entirely, with little room to spare. The leftover block seems far too large to fit in the box...yet somehow, impossibly, the eighth piece does fit...

Triple Tango by Jerry Loo
"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...

Pillar by Alexander Magyarics
"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 by Osanori Yamamoto
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.

Slide Swipe
"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.

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...

Shrinking Soma by Dr. Volker Latussek
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.

Pincers by Alexander Magyarics
“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...

Santa by Dr. Volker Latussek
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...
