Oskar's Paperclips by Oskar van Deventer (RPP)
Another classic by Oskar van Deventer, the Paperclips puzzle is rarely made, and for good reason. The length of the sticks and small surface area for overlap at the edges makes it very difficult to construct. Each corner is reinforced by a shoulder joint, then sanded flush and further reinforced with a full length spline. This is a very time consuming process, but is the only way to ensure the strength and rigidity necessary for this work of art.The result is worth the effort. With two possible ...

Puzzler's Cage by Junichi Yananose (RPP)
Are you ready? No. You're not ready. This puzzle is a BEAST.Puzzler's Cage was designed by Junichi Yananose in 1999 without the aid of a computer. He describes it as “crazy hard”. The puzzle has more interlock than should be possible, with half of the stick ends captive in notched perpendicular pieces. Even with instructions, assembly is a daunting task.We used three different woods to give clues for solving. The beautiful tones of Bubinga, Schedua and Black Palm ensure this will hold a priz...

All Five
Wayne Daniel created this magical nesting of the five Platonic solids, a tour de force whose outer icosahedron contained a dodecahedron then a cube, none tetrahedra and four octahedra, all without empty spaces. It garnered attention in the New York Times of May 10, 2005: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E7DA1230F933A25756C0A9639C8B63 (Decades earlier, Dale Seymour had issued a cardboard model of the five nested Platonic solids, in a different order of nesting.) Both an assemb...

Siamese Burr II by Terry Smart
Siamese Burrs II is a delightful mashup of two traditional burrs. The level 12.4 solution has dead ends and subtlty. Were it made from a single wood, this would be an astonishingly difficult puzzle. As is, the wood choice gives the solver a fighting chance to realize this assembly...but only just! In the spirit of the NOS burrs, this is a very unique and unconventional puzzle that deserves a place on any collectors shelf. Construction of this puzzle is excellent. Fit is precise. This puzzle is s...

The Slider
Looks like a regular 18-piece burr but there is a twist. Bill describes it on his web site:-The original design of The Slider was done in the early 1960's. The puzzle looks like a standard 18-piece burr (which I had not seen before at the time I designed it). To unlock the burr, one needs to move three pieces in different directions at the same time (coordinate motion). I used slant cuts to enforce this.In 2010 I decided to use this design as the basis for my souvenir puzzle. The puzzle was made...

Interlocking2-Eric Fuller
Another early Eric Fuller work. This is harder to put together than to take apart. The puzzle has not been taken apart. The woods used were very high quality. All of these early Fuller puzzles were made with just one or two copies for trades that Eric and I did, and were not made for sale.
