A nice Bill Darrah design made by Pelikan CZ. It's a very fun and interesting interlocking cube with 8 units missing to make the ends hollow. Four identical pieces with a ton of movement before it falls apart at the very end of both axes of movement. Nicely made, with just a touch of glue squeeze out visible on the inside.Thanks to Bernhard for telling me the designer and manufacturer! These puzzles are ones from my personal collection that I no longer have room for.Shipping cost will be cal...

This excellent Jolly design is a really fun, if somewhat simple puzzle. The shuttle is caught in the cage and must be removed. I made a small run of them in 2005 and they have not been made since to my knowledge.This particular example was a production sample from an overseas factory. I was at one point attempting to have them mass produced, but could never get the quality right. The dark wood is dyed a walnut color, and the cage is simply butt glued. So, not stellar work...but the puzzle s...

My one and only box made from metal. Very solid and heavy. Mechanism works perfectly. Couple small dings on drawer.From the website:"My first metal puzzle box; I'm happy with how it turned out! This box has a very minimalist look with a plain brushed aluminum exterior. The mechanism is completely hidden; even with the box open you can not see the workings. The box has two solutions; one moderately difficult and the other very difficult. The first solution can be discovered using gravity (amon...

Most are familiar with the greedy cup, but this is the first time I have seen one made from wood. Like all greedy cups, if you fill it with water it is fine up to a certain point. But if you get greedy, and keep filling, the entire cup will suddenly drain out of the bottom! Very fun on unsuspecting victims.

This interesting puzzle was designed by Karen von Kanel. I ended up playing with the piece set and came up with this version. From the website:"This puzzle is a derivative of Karin Von Kanel's outline burr, designed in 2001. I have been wanting to make this for a long time, but was having trouble getting in touch with Karin. Finally I ran into her at the NYPP and she heartily agreed to give me permission to make it. Initially I wanted to make the "Ultimate" level 15.1, but when I plugged it int...

This reproduction of the Kamei Octagon box is very tricky to open. It's seen better days...there are a couple cracks in the miters, and it can be a little tight in high humidity.

This is one of the first 10 puzzles I ever made. I did it on my buddies Table saw. Notches were made by cutting the two end pieces out, then freehand cutting the middle. I remember about 6-7 pieces were grabbed by the blade and flung back at me. No, I had no idea what the heck I was doing. Yes, I am lucky to still have all my fingers after a learning curve like that. Bid now and bid often on the puzzle that could have prematurely ended my career! These puzzles are ones from my personal c...

From the website:"The 2n Cube #1 cube was designed by Rob Stegmann in 2003. The puzzle consists of 8 interlocking pieces which assemble neatly into a 4x4x4 cube. Each of the pieces is comprised of 2 n-tetrominoes, joined together in 4 different ways (4 pairs of differently shaped pieces). Thus, 2 of each piece comprised of 2 n-tetrominoes, and Mr Stegmann?s last name also has 2 n so the puzzle name is quite fitting! The puzzle is considered to be of moderate difficulty.In addition, through some ...

described in John Rausch's PuzzleWorldThe design for this puzzle was published by Thomas H. O'Beirne in the New Scientist (Number 224) March 2, 1961. His objective was to find a set of six equal-volume pieces that can be assembled to fill any one of six different rectangular block shapes. The pieces are made up from twenty-four 3x4x6 unit blocks. Using 30x40x60mm results in a nice size.To make the pieces, begin by making six "L" shaped pieces from three of the blocks. Then attach a forth block t...

This gorgeous puzzle, by Lee Kransow, is a simplification of the Split Star puzzle...Six identically shaped pieces assemble to form the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron.Each piece is unique due to placement of wood variations.Note the small worm-hole in one of the pieces. This is not considered damage or a defect, but is listed just the same - not visible when assembled.buyer is responsible for money transfer fees (ie 3% for paypal), packing and shipping expenses...

from John Rausch's Puzzle Worldthis puzzle is based on the Six-Board Burr by Junichi Yananose. The dovetails reduce the number of possible move dramatically. The solution is a unique level six (six moves to remove the first piece).buyer is responsible for money transfer fees (ie 3% for paypal), packing and shipping expenses...

from cubicdissection.com:Another brilliant Cornwell design, rescube is a two piece take apart puzzle with a tricky and entertaining solution. It's quite a fun puzzle to solve, moderate in difficulty but interesting in operation.Construction of this puzzle was painstaking. The frame and internal shuttle share a hybrid miter / shouldered joint I invented especially for this project. The joint is more work to make, but creates strong and stable joinery while concealing the slots for the wall insert...

I still have nightmares about drilling all these holes. From the website:"This is the first 3x3x3 assembly with nine identical three unit pieces and a single solution. Groundbreaking work from Ry, nicely made with some of my better exotic wood stock. Special care was taken with the holes so they are crisp, sharp and centered. I'm very happy with the way this puzzle turned out. Shipped SOLVED; I recommend dumping the puzzle out without looking for maximum solving fun. Box tolerances are close for...
