Gregory took one look at the traditional 6-piece burr style and decided to design a 6-piece burr that would torment and screw with the minds of all prospective burr solvers. He cut out triangular notches, added triangular cuts, and introduced a wild coordinate-motion moves integral to taking this burr apart and back together.For such a remarkable idea, it's oddly hard to find anyone who is willing to make copies of this series! Eric noted that it'd be a nightmare to make and turned it down. But ...

The DDD Burr Set or Darryl's Dense Dozen is a very nice and gentle introduction to the vast world of burrs. Burrs come in a wide variety of wild shapes that consist of notched pieces that when put together, creates a three-dimensional shape. But the DDD Burr Set only involves making 6-piece burrs in the iconic burr shape that represents the genre despite how the most complex and advanced burrs are formed into completely different shapes than this burr set makes. Darryl came up with the set of bu...

Al Bus is a fantastic printed puzzle that I had to get just for the appeal to my inner child Harry Potter fan. Growing up with that book series and movies left a life-long mark on me as a fantasy fan and when the puzzle based on the book series came along, I had to get it for myself!It's a wonderful SD puzzle that took a few hours to solve and was a lovely time. I loved spotting all of the little references in this one and hope that a similar fan can enjoy this puzzle just as much as I have over...

Knot-a-2x2 made for a wild flashback to my younger years playing with a Rubik's Cube. I'll be honest here, I struggled just as badly here as I did back then with the Rubik's Cube hahaha.I had fun with Rex's prior designs when he was mostly selling coin releases and burrs, so when I heard that he was designing an SD for seemingly the first time, I knew I had to get it. And hearing that it's based on the design of a Rubik's Cube, that just sealed the deal.The goal is to scramble up the cube so you...

A genius creation from a master craftsman and devilish designer, the dearly departed Eric Fuller.Tricky and twisty, one of the greatest solving journeys I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Still functions perfectly.This copy's main box is made from a beautiful figured quartersawn sapele, and the key is made from sapele and jatoba. (The key comes in a small black satin bag with a drawstring.)Upon solving the puzzle, you will find a prize, and Eric Fuller's small 'e' signature, as well as the...

I previously made a few of this surprisingly difficult packing puzzle by Gaétan and at the time I didn’t have any contact info for him but then a few years ago I was surprised by one of his puzzle purchases in ‘Paradise’.My plan was to make another run but life kinda’ took a turn so now I’ve managed to sort myself out and began making another run.Allard kindly blogged about the copies I made in 2014, here’s an excerpt:https://allardspuzzlingtimes.blogspot.com/2014/04/gouge-packing-p...

This classic design was one of my earliest puzzle builds in the early 2000’s that I made for Bill Cutler.It features 18 pieces with four solutions, however finding one will definitely keep you busy for some time!I’ve always wanted to revisit it but in a smaller scale, I used a 3/16” unit size with the overall size being approximately 6” x 4”.The woods used were salvaged from an old upright piano from the 1920’s that I layed out the keys in a wall hanging (see last photo). Slipfeath...

This design by Professor Singmaster (sadly passed away in 2023) was my very first puzzle offering at CubicDissection back in 2005, it’s 25 pieces that can be packed in the box 22 ways.I was going through my ‘Salvaged Piano Wood’ (see last photo of my keyboard wall hanging, that I made from our upright piano that was produced in the ‘roaring ‘20’s!), so I figured I’d make more of this classic puzzle with this antique lumber.As always everything gets my ‘triple buffing finish’ th...

I’ve been wanting to make this design for years and now after decades making puzzles finally made a copy using some of my Salvaged Piano Wood.One of the first puzzles that I purchased from Interlocking Puzzles (Wayne Daniel - RIP) in early 2000 was this familiar 12 Piece Pentomino design.  I made a box to contain the 3x4x5 (3940 solutions) and the 2x5x6 (264 solutions) configuration.Everything has my ‘Triple Buff Finish’ and comes with printed solutions sheet.Shipping cost to be determin...

It seems hard to believe that it's been almost 20 years since I first made a small run of this clever packing puzzle design in 2006.  William has graciously allowed me to offer up another run as there were only a dozen copies made in 2006.The original metal version was William’s exchange puzzle at the IPP21 in Tokyo.This version is made using many wood varieties and includes a Stand.  The entire puzzle has been ‘triple buffed’ giving it a very nice sheen.Overall size is a little over 4...
