Notched Corner Cube Variation
This is a Notched Corner Cube variation designed by Bill Cutler, and crafted by and purchased from, Jerry McFarland. While the assembled form is quite pleasing to display, my mind seems to be getting more feable over time. I took this puzzle apart s-l-o-w-l-y in the effort to NOT wind up with another pile of pieces. So much for that! The assembled puzzle can be viewed on Jerry McFarland's website: http://web.mac.com/jermcfpzls/site/Notched_Corner_Cube.html . If this puzzle is purchased, it ...

18 Burr Pieces Packing Puzzle
The 18 Burr Pieces Packing Puzzle was designed by Loren Larson and crafted by John Devost in Padauk, Bubinga, and Maple. This was John's personal copy, prior to Jerry McFarland's walnut pieces release. It's also another example of my inclination to purchase high quality puzzles from outside of my primary areas of interest. This is a beautiful puzzle to be enjoyed by another collector. Puzzle can be shipped assembled or disassembled, depending on your desired level of abuse. ;-)

Anderson's Delusion
This is Anderson's Delusion...unassembled. ;-( Lol. Eric is a cool guy. When one of the pieces came unglued, he took the time to fix it at no charge. I thought I could get the puzzle re-assembled, but so far, no luck. This puzzle is very interesting. As far as I know, only 20 copies of the puzzle were made. All the details are shown under Eric's "Puzzle Gallery." Since the puzzle would ship disassembled, the starting offer price is slightly lower than the original.

Kamei Repro (B&P) Treasure Chest
While a repro, the quality of this puzzle is amazing. Perfect fit and finish. Operates smoothly and reliably. Just an overall really nice repro, the kind which have been sadly difficult to find from Bits and Pieces lately. This is one of the first puzzle I purchased for my collection back in 2003-2004. These puzzles are ones from my personal collection that I no longer have room for.Shipping cost will be calculated after the end of the auction. Winning bidder will pay the actual postage ...

Almost There
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!

Two Piece Oddity
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...

Small Push Box
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...

Wooden Greedy Cup
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.

Outline Burr
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...

Kamei Octagon Box Repro (B&P)
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.
