Boxes and Frames by Andrey Ustjuzhanin
This puzzle is practically an hors d'oeuvre...a nifty little guy with a level 8.5.2 solution that is MUCH harder than you would expect. Whet your appetite with this unconventional mixed board/stick burr, then attack its more difficult cousin the Nebula.Construction of this puzzle is excellent, with notches joinery in the board pieces and solid milled burr pieces.Note: Color fading is present, see photos for detail. ************************************************************These puzzles are ex...

De Kas by Alfons Eyckmans (5 of 5)
De Kas is a very challenging ten piece burr puzzle by Alfons Eyckmans. Four eight unit burr pieces interlock with two larger board pieces and four congruent smaller board burr pieces zig-zagging inbetween to make a very unique final shape. The design is in a similar style of Alfons' puzzles we have made in the past, specifically Spiral and Steps. With a level 24.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.4 disassembly alone is a tough task with a few dead ends towards the start.The puzzle was made from a very nicely sourced...

Topless Box by Eric Fuller (3 of 5)
Initially released in 2012, Topless Box is a favorite we never tire of recreating. The solution is tricky and surprising. Upon inspection Topless Box immediately presents a conundrum: with two lids and no top or bottom, how can it be opened? Where do you even begin?The mechanism may be deduced without the use of external tools. No bumping, banging, shaking, spinning, gravity moves, or excessive force is necessary or allowed. Once opened, the elegant mechanism is visible to the solver, and you'll...

Stickman - Gearbox (2003)
this is not a puzzle, it's
just a supercool mechanical box. Robert listed it on eBay as:
'Stickman Limited Edition Mechanical Box', which i bought on 24
february 2003 for $38.
signed (or perhaps
'figured') on the underlid, but only numbered on the paper that came
with it.

Juno - Framed Burr Box (2017)

to open the box, then take the box apart.from the description in Juno's archive:
Juno had been thinking that it
would be good to add puzzle boxes to our product line. Many puzzle
lovers think that he has a good reputation for designing burr
puzzles. So, as the originator of the framed burr, he decided to
include a six piece framed burr into a puzzle box.

T-Slot Burr by Junichi Yananose
If you would like to have an interlocking burr puzzle that is something different from others that are widely available on the markets, this is it. As you see in the images, the burr puzzle has a very unusual appearance.The six light-colored pieces are held by the internal core piece by fitting T-slots and T-rails. There are a total of eight pins (cap screws) mounted on the sides of the pieces and those pins travel in the grooves and T-slots inside the other pieces. All six pieces would simply s...

Blinded II by Dee Dixon
Blinded II is Dee's newest sequential discovery puzzle box. Crafted from zebrawood, and walnut, with angled spline keys to reinforce the miter joints. Development required multiple prototypes, resulting in a refined and unpredictable puzzle. It measures 3.5" wide x 5" long x 3.5" high. Putting items inside will interfere with the opening mechanism.Note: Color fading is present from storage with attached magnet block, see photo for detail. ****************************************************...

Jesse Born - Sea Chest (2020)
i'm not sure where Jesse gets the concepts for his puzzles, but they
often remind me of movies. this one reminds me of Pirates Of The
Caribbean. (the first one (i mean the good one).) but if i'd been born
half a century earlier it would probably remind me of Treasure
Island. not due to any direct resemblance or reference, but due
to the concept and intriguing solution path.
on that note, when
you have solved this puzzle, you may not have solved this puzzle.

Kim Klobucher - KNOB(2) (2009)
this is one of Kim's
'phrase puzzles', where each move is assigned a letter and the
solution spells something. in this case, it's a 19-move sequence
that spells the name 'Nobuyuki Yoshigahara', for whom the IPP annual
puzzle design competition was named after his death in 2004. Nob
Yoshigahara was a supernice and groovycool smart person, and this is
Kim's puzzle tribute to him.

George Miller - Buffalo Nickel Puzzle (Bits And Pieces version)
the Bits And Pieces version of a planar burr coin release puzzle by
George Miller, based on a design by Oskar van Deventer called the
Nine-And-A-Half-Moves puzzle.
this is surprisingly
tricky to both open and close, though i'm not quite sure how many
moves it takes. the official number may be '9.5', but according to
my old sketch it seems to be twelve, excluding the final move made by
gravity that drops the coin into your lap. i'm probably counting
moves differently than most. ...
