Babel by Alfons Eyckmans
Similar to the earlier Packira, Babel ups the ante from Packira's level 9.4.10 solution to an insane level 33.10 solution. Unique, natch. The four burr pieces dance around the internal sliders until you feel like you're spinning in circles! Are you up for the challenge?Construction of this puzzle is excellent, with labor intensive finger joinery on the corners and milled pieces. Fit is very precise. This puzzle is shipped assembled.For multiple items, combined shipping is available. Simply messa...

Oskar's Matchboxes by Oskar Van Deventer
Oskar's Matchboxes has always been one of my favorite designs. In terms of originality, appearance and overall appeal, very few puzzles come close. The five dissimilar pieces consist of an outer box and inner tray cleverly glued together. The goal is to assemble the pieces so that every tray is contained inside a box. With only two solutions, this is quite tricky!Oskar’s Matchboxes is a very time-consuming puzzle to make, with all pieces constructed using the same shoulder joinery that we used...

Frankenstein by Alfons Eyckmans
I don't normally make super high level burrs, but I found Frankenstein to be irresistible. This 18 piece burr has VERY unique pieces. Six of them are missing an end grain voxel, allowing for a unique 35 unit arrangement on each face. Incredibly tricky and difficult, simply disassembling this is a feat considering the level 25.15.7.19.3.6.5.2.1.3.2.4 unique solution. Yes, you read that correctly. May the force be with you. This puzzle is shipped assembled.For multiple items, combined shipping is...

Harun by Dr. Volker Latussek
Another brilliant packing puzzle by the designer of the award winning "Casino" puzzle, Harun is a tricky assembly. Six notched sticks and six small planks pack into the box two different ways. The solution is trickier than is apparent given the simple pieces.Construction of this puzzle is excellent, with a precise fit which displaces a cushion of air when the entire assembly is dropped in at once. This puzzle is shipped disassembled.For multiple items, combined shipping is available. Simply mes...

Overlap by Tim Alkema
Overlap is meant to be a companion to Jerrican and Odd One Out. Four very simple burr pieces and "friend" get all snuggly in a small open ended container. How Tim got a CRAZY unique level 8.7.14.4.3 solution out of these components is a mystery to me. All I know is that this is by far the most difficult of these three puzzles and is not to be underestimated. Simply disassembling it is a challenge!Construction of this puzzle is extraordinary, with highly polished Birdseye Maple and a precise fit....

Prison Burr by Stéphane Chomine
Prison Burr is for those crazy puzzlers who can't resist a challenge. With a level 2.15.16.8.3.2 solution, even taking the first piece out...you know, the 2 move piece...can be tricky! And it goes downhill from there (or uphill depending on your level of puzzle crazy). Stephane locked a difficult six piece burr assembly into a cage with no access to the bottom of the puzzle. Tons of fun to disassemble; I can't even imagine reassembly without directions.Construction of this puzzle is somewhat ext...

Kaon by Duane Einfeld
I hadn't heard from Duane in quite some time, but he mailed me this little gem of a puzzle and I had to make it. Kaon is a six-piece burr which features three pairs of pieces with mirrored cubes inside which restrict their position. It has two solutions, each with different assembly methodologies. A very simple, elegant design and exactly the kind I like to make.Construction of this puzzle is very very good, with an extremely accurate fit. The finish is exceptional. I'm very happy with how this ...

Pox Box by Yavuz Demirhan
I've been thinking about making Pox Box for a while, and was waiting for a time when I could give it the attention it deserves in the workshop. Such a simple design belies how tricky it is to solve...with a level 7.14.7 solution, it's no pushover. I decided on a box with mitered and splined joinery all the way around, and veneered tops on the pieces. Painstaking and time consuming, it was all worth it...the result is gorgeous! This is one puzzle that really catches your eye and is as much fun to...

Missing Notch by Stewart Coffin
Missing Notch is one of Stewart Coffins more difficult assembly puzzles. The six pieces are nearly identical, with notched out centers and two angled notches on the outside. One piece is missing an angled notch, which obviates the obvious coordinate motion assembly. Can you figure out the alternate methodology?This puzzle came out very nicely, with a precise fit and a solid maple cube with magnets on each face to keep the inherently unstable assembly together once solved.This puzzle is shipped a...

Packira by Tomas Vanyo
This is a very unique and fun puzzle, and probably my favorite design of the update. The box captures six sliders which move around to form an evolving maze for the four identical pieces to maneuver. Moderate in difficulty but over the top in enjoyment! If you haven't noticed I really liked this one, assembling them all was actually a pleasure.The construction of this puzzle is excellent, with a perfect fit and very labor intensive joinery and design. While fairly simple looking, it took ages to...

Binary Burr by Bill Cutler
The Binary Burr is a classic Bill Cutler design. It was awarded a First Prize at the 2003 IPP Puzzle Design Competition, and has been unavailable for several years. Here is what Bill has to say about it:"The Binary Burr is a burr that functions like a 6-ring version of the Chinese Rings. The puzzle consists of 21 pieces. One is equivalent to the ‘bar’ in a Chinese Rings puzzle, and six others are equivalent to the ‘rings’. The other 14 pieces in the puzzle construct a ‘cage’ or ‘bo...

Gift Burr by Unknown
Gift Burr has the familiar shape of the traditional six piece star burr. Unlike the traditional burr, this puzzle is anything but simple to assemble. The notches are irregular and create a lovely parity issue where every time you attempt the last piece it simply doesn't line up. Not impossibly challenging for an experienced puzzler, this one is nonetheless trickier than it looks.Construction of this puzzle is excellent, with angles and dimensions dead on. It's a pleasure to handle a well made st...

BioTIC by Andrew Crowell (RPP)
BioTic is a BEAST! 28 total moves and nine rotations are required to solve it. Designed by Andrew Crowell, these fascinating "Turning Interlocking Cubes" take it to the next level. Instead of straightforward linear moves, these designs require rotations during the solution process. Construction is outstanding, with shouldered joinery where side grain gluing is not possible, and detailed bevels which flow around the shouldered joints for a uniform appearance.This puzzle is shipped disassembled.Fo...

T12 Popplock
I'm selling my T12. I'm not a collector and would like someone else in the community to have a turn with this incredible lock. I've cleaned it with Brasso and a microfiber cloth. Any scratches were either present upon receiving the new in box T12 or scratches that occur from how the puzzle functions. This comes with all original boxing and the solution comes unopened in the sealed envelope. Truly an incredible puzzle!

Egg Puzzle by Wil Strijbos
This is a copy of Wil Strijbos' famous Egg Puzzle from the most recent production run. I purchased this puzzle from Sloyd in December 2019. I have solved and reset the puzzle twice. There are no cosmetic defects in the anodized aluminum exterior that I was able to find. Internal components will naturally show light wear from use, but are not visible. The "original packaging" will be included, but this is simply a protective cardboard tube (as pictured); no other packaging or documentation was p...
