Brass Monkey Three

I partially solved it but never took it completely apart, so there are absolutely no scratches, just some light patina from handling. Looking at the photos of a new one on CD it looks like this is really how they come anyway...Comes with the original end caps for protection, bag and the original box too! All like new.

Vectes / Ghidorah
This puzzle is two designs in one - the cage comes with two sets of burr pieces (one a six unit length and the other an eight unit length) which are entirely different puzzles to insert. The designs were released at roughly the same time, and I found them both interesting. When I realized they shared the same cage, I was in! Both designers graciously gave permission, and so I present to you the combined Vectes / Ghidorah Box. Ghidorah is the "warm up" difficulty with a level 22.3 solution. Once ...

Tulip
This puzzle is more than just a pretty shape...it's also got a very interesting feature. Included with the six burr pieces is a small rectangular piece which can be added to the inside of the puzzle. Solved without the internal piece, Tulip has a level 16 solution. When the internal piece is added, the solution changes to a level 9.14...double the trouble for your money!The construction of this puzzle is excellent, with each piece milled from solid cherry stock. Fit is excellent, a little loose ...

Two Halves Cage 4a
This is the companion puzzle to the much easier "Two Halved Cage 3b". The last one gave an idea of the concept; this one kicks it up several notches!This non-millable six piece burr is surrounded by a cage split into two mirrored halves. Not only must the solver figure out the burr itself, but they must also understand the burr within the constrains of the cage. That alone would be difficult, but figuring out how to start with one half of the cage and put the puzzle in a state which allows the a...

Box Rebellion
If you love restricted packing puzzles, then this is up your alley.From original description at https://cubicdissection.com/products/box-rebellion-packing-puzzleBox Rebellion was previously released as an IPP exchange puzzle in 2004
by Walt Hoppe. Similar to the wildly popular 4L design, Box Rebellion is

Dufour by Volker Latussek
A really tricky packing puzzle with two challenges - pack the pieces flush into the box and then arrange it back as the original shipping state.Original description from https://www.pelikanpuzzles.eu/detail/dufour/ :Kevin Sadler wrote about it:
“This beautiful puzzle by Dr Latussek is a whole different level
of challenge. One of the features that marks Volker's approach is that
he always stipulates a way that the puzzle should be presented to be
solved and that format is usually just as...

BDSM by Laszlo Molnar
This is a very nice restricted entry packing puzzle consisting of unique pieces which form a cube in multiple ways.Goal of the puzzle is to fit all pieces as a cube inside the box.This just seems too easy! Large triangular openings on both sides of the
box should make this one a quick solve right? Wrong! If you like
packing puzzles, you should give this a try. It is also a great puzzle
to hand to a novice puzzler. By looking at it they will be confident
they can solve it quickly. Then yo...

Turtle Trip
Gerard Hudson's amazing sequential discovery puzzle "Turtle Trip". This was probably one of my favorite unexpected solves of 2020! A really cool theme with lots going on; numerous mechanisms, aha moments, and discoveries to be made. It saddens me to part with it but need cash for the holidays.[Actual shipping and handling cost will be calculated at end of auction.]

Havana #2
The second in the Havanas Box series is named the "Heather", after the one of the friendly part-timers behind the bar. It's a step up in difficulty from the first box...easy enough to get started but then a few moves in you hit a wall. The solution is fairly unique and I think it will be a lot of fun to discover. Tough to say much more about it without giving a lot away...all I can say is pay attention and the solution will match your observations.This box is milled from solid quartersawn sapele...

Havana #1
One of my favorite activities is to have a big, stinky cigar after a long day in the shop...generally enjoyed at my local cigar bar, Havana Deluxe. I've been wanting to make a puzzle box that will hold a cigar for some time now. A while back I was talking to the owner about it and we decided that I would make not just one cigar box, but a series of them! Each box will named after one of the people working there. And thus was born the Havana's Puzzle Box series. This is the first box in the serie...

Havana #3
The third in the Havanas Box series is named the "Mike", after the owner. The initial movements will be familiar to many collectors, but then....well, I'll let you wait and see! The solution has a very fun discovery moment. I've given the prototype to several friends to play with and it seems to take most of them roughly an hour to solve. Again, tough to say much more about it without giving a lot away. I'm pleased with the box and the tricks I used :)This box is milled from solid quartersawn sa...

Havana #4
This final installation of the Havana's box is the "Bruce" after my buddy who tends bar there from time to time. He's a smooth talker with a complex personality, and that describes this box pretty well. I brought the apearance of the box full circle to the first one, with the slight difference that the veneer runs a different direction.I promised that the boxes would be increasingly difficult, and the #4 lives up to that. The goal is of course to set the cigar free. While simple in appearance, t...
