From Pluedro:"Despite its decent and honest appearance, this puzzle requires 25 moves to remove the first piece from the assembled shape.While Juno had been playing with the idea of Grooved 6 Board Burr #1, he thought that there could be several variant grooved board burr puzzles dependent on where he put pins and grooves on the puzzle pieces. It was the reason why he put #1 to the first grooved 6 board burr. We might produce #3, #4 and so on if he finds an interesting idea for the series.Unlik...

This large sturdy metal puzzle is shaped like a butterfly. The goal is to remove the ring. Copyright 1992 by Tucker-Jones Inc., Setauket, New York. Handmade in the U.S.A. Measures roughly 8 x 9 inches. The ring has a 3 inch diameter. Comes with a cloth storage bag. Like new condition.

From CubicDissection:"Secret Burr is a re-release of a puzzle I made very limited copies of in 2002. Unique in that it's difficult in both assembly and disassembly, there are two locks inside the burr that interact much like Cutler's Ball Bearing Burr. Instead of steel bearings, Secret Burr uses small wood rectangles. Precision crafted of fine hardwoods, this puzzle not only looks exotic, but has the trickiness to back up its appearance."https://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2020/01/theres-right-way-and-w...

Combination Lock STC128, Stewart Coffin - made by Mark McCallum, purchased 2009.This is a very tricky coordinate motion puzzle; finding the right way to get it apart is not easy. Six pieces. It took me about 1/2 hour just to find out how the thing came apart. The movement is smooth, but it's difficult to figure out the best place to push or pull. Shipping weight 12 oz with packaging.

Altekruse Surprise - Jerry McFarland. A couple of the pieces have tiny chips on the ends; you can see them in the photos. There also appears to be some slight shrinkage of some piece lengths with age (which you can also see in the picture, but it has no effect on the piece movement; I partly disassembled it with no problems. A lovely puzzle from 2008. McFarland's assembly instructions and notes are included.Shiipping weight 1 lb 3 oz with packaging.
