Swiss Cheese And Grape
The goal is to stack the pieces of cheese together in the cage so that you can drop the grape (ball bearing) into the top slice and have it pass through all the slices and fall out the bottom. Much more difficult and challenging than it sounds, with several aha moments to be had! I really enjoyed this one!https://brunopuzzlemaker.blogspot.com/2020/02/swiss-cheese-and-grape-first-release.htmlActual shipping cost will be calculated at end of auction. Buyer pays Paypal fees.

Quartet Box
From the original description :...This is a weird puzzle and you won’t expect the movement and the mechanism of the puzzle. It requires perfect harmonies of the quartet members to solve the puzzle. Bashing, tapping, and centrifugal force are unnecessary. It can be solved by gentle operation....There are about 30 magnets used in the puzzle. Some of these magnets are used to enhance the good feeling on the hands when you play with the puzzle. ...The complete description page is here : https://...

Small Box #1 "Window Box" by Eric Fuller (RPP)
Small Box One - "Window Box" is a devious drawer tucked into a box with lots going on for its size. The large hole in the box serves as a window into the mechanism...careful observation and experimenting is necessary to reveal its secrets. I'm very happy with how this box turned out, the mechanism works flawlessly and repeatably once you know the scoop.The construction of this puzzle is sturdy and detailed. The mechanism depends upon extremely close tolerances which I'm happy to say we hit dead ...

Small Box #2 "Aha Box" by Alan Boardman (RPP)
Small Box Two - "Aha Box" This design was Alan Boardman's IPP exchange puzzle in 2004. He describes it as "Designed to lure your non-puzzler friends into "our" world." It gives very few clues upon handling...it seems to be solid, with no way to open it. A solution does exist, and it's quite tricky to discover. Sturdy and pocket sized, a great puzzle to share with friends and non-puzzlers. This little box also has a surprisingly useful amount of space inside!Construction of this puzzle is very pr...

Sucrier
Another terrific puzzle from Stephane, describe by Kevin Sadler :-“Sucrier looks like a straightforward burr with 4 sticks in a square ring frame but there is a hidden delight which you discover early on during your exploration. It looks stunning with burr sticks made of Wenge, Padauk, Purpleheart and Acacia with what looks like a Mahogany frame. The first thing that jumped out at me apart from the colour was the delightful rounding of all the edges rather than standard bevels. It makes the pu...
