Bill Cutler - Mega-Six by Mr Puzzle - Australia
Bill Cutler first used a computer program to analyze six piece burrs in 1974 but it took until 1990 to analyse all possible six piece burr combinations. Mega Six is the result of that search for the maximum number of moves for a six piece burr with a unique solution. This does not mean it has a unique assembly, due to the number of internal voids. In theory the pieces should fit together in 20 different ways however, the reality is that you can physically only put the puzzle together in one of...

Lucas House - Stabile #1 by Lucas House
When I first arrived in North Carolina, I worked out of an artists cooperative called Antfarm Studios in the Boylan Heights area of Raleigh. I met Lucas there, and he is a very talented craftsman who works exclusively in the custom blacksmithing field. I stopped by the other day to say hello and was very impressed with his latest sculptures, so I offered to list them here because I think they are right up a puzzle collectors ally!
