Eric's Description: With the invention of the NOS (New Old School) puzzle series, Gregory took the six piece burr format and turned it on its head. The only thing more noteworthy than the uniqueness of the series was how difficult they are to make. When he sent me the plans for them a year ago, I turned him down because it just looked like a nightmare to manufacture. I wasn't wrong...BUT...Gregory came up to me at IPP this summer and let me play with a couple three D printed versions and I was h...

Eric's Description: I was browsing through AP-ART when my eye fell on Mr. Coffins design #187 family. I have not made a cool tray puzzle in a while, and this seemed like just the ticket. I also had a nice bunch of ebony and cocobolo that would be perfect for it!.About design #187, Stewart says:"The three puzzles in this category all have a 5×5 square two-sided tray. On the back side is a simple framed square for practice exercises. The front side has a Plexiglas cover with openings cut in it th...

Eric's Description: Another maze! This one is TRICKY. The goal is to move the ball bearing from one side to the exit. Once you drop down the rabbit hole you realize that the state of the maze changes by pushing the shuttle up and down. So not only must you figure out the internals, but you have to figure out the state the maze is in depending on shuttle location. A maddeningly difficult and interesting design...I think this may be my favorite of the update.Construction of this puzzle is super ni...

35 moves to remove the first of eight wenge pieces, it rattles just a little in the process but the fit is really very good.

RELEASED:2.28.2014PRODUCED:38 CopiesDESIGNER:Bill CutlerCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Walnut, Ash, SapeleCOMMENTS:This is possibly the best burr puzzle ever invented. Bill designed it by hand when he was 16 years old. (so, a looooong time ago :)Intended as a take-apart puzzle, disassembly is very tricky with many many false starts and dead ends. Reassembly is of course very very difficult. I don't generally include instructions, but I will gladly send the directions to this one should the buyer ...

RELEASED:9.20.2013PRODUCED:44 CopiesDESIGNER:Tamas VanyoCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Carolina Ash, Bubinga / Shedua / Peruvian WalnutCOMMENTS:As soon as I saw this design I knew I had to make it. It was a lot of work and frankly I'm not charging as much as I should for it, but it's such a cool puzzle I have no regrets. The eight pieces pack into the oddly shaped frame only one way and in one very specific order. A fair amount of jockying around is necessary to fit them all. With a unique level ...

RELEASED:11.3.2015PRODUCED:36 CopiesDESIGNER:Bill CutlerCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Ash, Paduak, PurpleheartCOMMENTS:Another iconic Bill Cutler design...here's what he has to say about it:For most burr shapes, such as the 6-piece burr, if you have no internal holes, then the first piece that moves will come out all the way. This is because the burr shape is 'rectilinearly convex'. This is not true for the standard 24-piece burr shape. I decided to design a 24-piece burr in which:1) there are n...

RELEASED:4.15.2015PRODUCED:41 CopiesDESIGNER:Stewart CoffinCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Ash, LacewoodCOMMENTS:Ages ago I made a small batch of RD puzzles using octahedral clusters. I never did make the best of Coffin's design though, the Five Piece version, so I thought I'd whip up a batch after having so much fun with the Pyracubes. Five Piece Cluster has four dissimilar non-symmetrical pieces and a fifth key piece that is a single block. The serially interlocking solution is very tricky!The c...

Since it's so difficult to establish whether or not a puzzle is truly new or not, Ken was unaware of Mine's previous discovery, and in fact the overlap was not discovered until this production run was complete...
