Stickman No. 4 - Robert Yarger
Designed and crafted by puzzle artists Robert Yarger and Eric Fuller, the Stickman No 4 Puzzlebox has two hidden compartments that can only be opened by properly manipulating the wooden tiles around the four faces of the box. Tiles move from one side to the next by use of a unique all-wood mechanical clutch.

Stickman Clock Box (No. 6) - Robert Yarger
The secret chamber of this Stickman Grandfather Clock Puzzle Box (No. 6) can only be opened when both of its clock hands are positioned exactly at 12:00. Of course, getting its hands to exactly 12:00 is not an easy feat. Although all mechanical components can be seen working through the front glass panel, the secret to actually aligning the hands is curiously evasive. It takes patience, logic and a bit of old fashioned dexterity to figure this one out.

Stickman Cross Puzzlebox (No. 12) - Robert Yarger
This Stickman Cross Box (No 12) has two hidden compartments that can only be accessed by manipulating one of its 17 blocks to designated positions within its wooden cage. All wooden blocks are identical, but they are arranged so the movement of any particular block depends on the positions of the blocks that surround it. This puzzle is of moderate difficulty, and requires 20 or more moves in order to solve.

Stickman No 1 - Robert Yarger
Yes, this is one of those very rare Stickman No. 1 Puzzleboxes that started it all. But before you get all excited, I must tell you that, as my very first puzzlebox, this line really does not depict the quality that you have come to expect from Stickman boxes over the years.
.
While the mechanism in this box works exceptionally well, it is constructed of old scrap oak wood (not much to look at) and the finish is terrible. It is not a bad box, but is probably best suited for a collector who ...

Stickman Fulcrum (No. 11) - Robert Yarger
This Stickman Fulcrum Puzzle Box (No. 11) is really not that difficult to solve (fairly trivial in fact). It requires only 6 moves to reach its two compartments. It is, however, visually stunning, with a depth of mechanism that begs to have it picked up and played with.
.
The box is 4.5” x 3” x 2.5” and is crafted from maple, purpleheart and wenge. It comes with its own full-color 4-page instruction booklet. I am not sure why this box was left over. It is in perfect working order ...

Stickman Autumn (No. 10) puzzlebox - Robert Yarger
This Autumn Puzzle Box (Stickman No 10), derives its name from collage of attractive fall colors, and is handcrafted from quality wenge, padauk, and leopardwood pieces. This is a moderately difficult puzzle to solve and requires a minimum of 15 moves in order to get into both of its hidden compartments. Getting into one compartment is relatively easy, but there is an unexpected and elusive trick required to access the other.

Stickman No 8 Puzzlebox - Robert Yarger
Designed by artist Robert Yarger, this Stickman No. 8 puzzle box internally makes use of a specialized "three-position mechanical toggle" system. Such toggles were first used to mechanically tally information in ancient (B.C.) calculating machines, but when incorporated into a puzzle box it produces a very unique result.

In this box, the same move does not always produce an identical result. Panels that were once freed by performing a particular step will not always become free when the sam...

Remake of Ninomiya Pushup by Karakuri maker
This Japanese puzzle box was made by someone from the karakuri club. I have a Ninomiya pushup and this uses the same mechanism (but is not of the same quality). Still, a nice puzzle. Made for the IPP in japan about 3 years ago.

Stickman No. 3 Puzzlebox - Robert Yarger
_____Everyone has a postal nightmare story, and mine involves this Stickman No 3 Puzzlebox. It was originally sent to a collector in England, but never arrived. Eleven months after refunding his money, it finally found its way back to me. From the postmarks, it apparently had been rerouted to Australia by mistake.

43 step japanese-american puzzle box Painted signed-makishi
This Makishi is signed and dated. He also painted the top. It is made from nicer wood than many of the boxes I have seen that he made. It is also not as loose as many of his puzzle boxes. It works well. I had instructions, but I will have to look for them. This is a very difficult puzzle box.
