Description

a 38-piece variation on William Altekruse's original puzzle patented in 1890, designed by Stewart Coffin and made by Interlocking Puzzles, who produced several of his designs.  this one is from 2001.


Stewart described this variation in The Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections (Ch.6):


Once the basic principle is understood, these larger versions are not very difficult to assemble except that some trial and error may be required to figure out the correct order of assembly.  They also require more dexterity of the others, and it helps if the pieces are accurately made.


...which these pieces are.


buyer has the choice of shipping assembled or disassembled.



buyer pays shipping.


shipment will be by USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full sale price.


payment via PayPal only.



♫: 


all puzzles in my collection have been kept out of sunlight, in a humidity-stable room, away from pets unless they can solve them, and in a non-smoking household.


thank you for looking, and good luck if you bid.

⟬ Juno Fortnight ⟭——[ puzzles designed by Junichi Yananose ]——03. Alcyone (2018) from Juno's description: Alcyone is a 6-piece non-orthogonal interlocking burr puzzle. The puzzle is not very difficult but confusing enough to assemble because of the unusual angle of the pieces and its assembled shape. Alcyone is the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus. We also have produced a puzzle named Merope that belongs to the same constellation...

⟬ Juno Fortnight ⟭——[ puzzles designed by Junichi Yananose ]——14. Meanders Box (348-step version) (2019) from Juno's description: This is Juno’s seventh secret puzzle box product. One day, he realized that he has never designed burr puzzles or puzzle boxes that require more than 100 steps to remove the first piece. OK, let’s do it, he thought, and started designing the puzzle box. Although he doesn’t know much about traditional Japanese puzzle boxes, he at...

⟬ Juno Fortnight ⟭——[ puzzles designed by Junichi Yananose ]——02. A Mazing Burr (2017) from Juno's description: A Mazing Burr is as funny and weird as his previously designed puzzles. There are mazes on the puzzle pieces and pins travel in those grooved mazes. There are many dead ends and ironically, the dead end shape of the groove does not always mean dead end of the puzzle. The puzzle requires multiple coordinated motion for assembling and disassembli...

⟬ Juno Fortnight ⟭——[ puzzles designed by Junichi Yananose ]——08. Crooked 6 Piece Burr (original version) (2021) from Juno's description: Juno designed this puzzle 30 years ago but he never opened the original design to the public.
