Parcel Post (2006)
Unknown designer from the beginning of the 20th century. The goal is to pack all 18 pieces of various sizes into the box, in three layers. Only three pairs of pieces share the same dimensions, some must be packed vertically. Two solutions, but trial and error won't get you anywhere. Walnut, Makore, Mahogany, Wenge.

Late for Tea
Based upon “Alice in Wonderland”, this box is a representation of the clock the rabbit carries while running late for the
tea party. In some ways, solving this puzzle is similar to picking a
safe, as the sound and feel of both free moving clock hands, combined
with additional clues, point to its solution. The second and final
compartment contains a brass coin with the Stickman logo. 50 copies
made, but most of them are not publicly available as they will be
integrated into the u...

T-Box
Note: The box came with a tiny dent on the top of the lid. As others have mentioned on Discord, the pieces fit very snug, but don't require too much force. From woodwonders.com:When I saw
the name for this, my mind immediately went to creating an old fashioned
"Tea Box". I thought the simple box with its relatively small
obstructions and rather plain "T'" shaped pieces provide quite the
challenge, but I felt it could use something to make it look a little fancier.
The laser work on the box...

Too Hard - Stewart Coffin
From Cubicdissection.com:I've long
been a fan of Coffin's angled stick puzzles. They're tricky, beautiful when
assembled, and unique among interlocking puzzles. The angles are very confusing
which leads to a fantastic ah-ha moment!"Too
Hard" is the second and more difficult angled stick offering for this
update. Initially, it appears to have the same shape as the Pineapple Pile, but a trick appears when attempting to
construct that shape. One of the three longer sticks has the holes drill...

Grooved 6 Board Burr #5
From the Pluredo website:This is the fifth version of the Grooved 6 Board Burr series,
and its configuration is very similar to the
first version. Also, the number of moves needed to disassemble the first
piece is the same as #1, 22 but
#5 has a tricky feature. That was the reason why Juno thought he should produce
this version.Remember that he is a person who always tries to outmaneuver
others with his designed puzzles. Many of our customers may notice the true
characteristic of the p...

Grooved 6 Board Burr #6
From the Pluredro website:
This little beast requires
a maximum of 35 moves among the Grooved 6 Board Burr series to remove
the first piece from the assembled shape. During the solving process, you may
feel that the pieces are no longer interlocking together, but none of the
pieces will come apart in a simple way. A few pieces tend to partially rotate
and become very unstable especially around 14 moves from the assembled shape
but there seems to be no shortcut solution for the f...

Collator - Alexander Magyarics
From woodwonders.com:Alexander
Magyarics has been very busy lately and I am taking advantage of that
creativity. Here is a nice little packing puzzle. Just three piece to fit into
the box through a fairly large opening. This one gave me a workout for a while!
I also like the fact that there are 3 solutions in total. But the desired
solution gives the nicest finished look with all the openings in the box filled
with the inserted pieces. The other two solutions are rather easy and should
pr...

It’s a sad day when a man has to sell his treasures.This is that beautiful and complicated lump of brass that has puzzlers fighting in the streets ( umm, not really) I’ve given it a light polish so it’s not quite as patinated, but if that’s your thing, just play for a while and it will change colour. Comes with laminated solution and it’s original box. The envelope that holds the solution has been wet in the past,so parts of that envelop have smudged printing. It’s no big deal, Eric ...

STC 39: Rosebud and Jig
Note: The puzzle comes with the jig!From nedeljkowoodworks.com:STC 39 Rosebud is a co-ordinated motion polyhedral puzzle
which is difficult to make and difficult but not impossible to assemble without
the aid of a jig. When perfectly aligned the six pieces slide together and open
and close like the petals of Rosebud. The Rosebud Assembly Jig is sold
separately and is highly recommended.

produced some years ago and sold unassembled. ...
