Description

Closterman 5×5×8 Cage #6 designed and crafted by Don Closterman in 2006.

These don't come up often and they are beautiful, fun and challenging.

in S. American Yellowheart, labeled (C-1-200-13-9)

 175 × 110 × 110 mm

Don's designs are infamous for the complexity of design and smooth operation.  Note the superb edge and corner finishing.  13 pieces.  Original solution and assembly instructions included.

Rob's puzzle page notes:

"... A beautiful series of interlocking, sequential (dis)assembly polycube puzzles in cages.

Closterman identifies his puzzles using a code of the form T-S-N-P-M, where:

T is the type of puzzle – C for cage

S is an arbitrary identifier Closterman assigns to a given design with a particular solution method

N is simply the number of cubies in the overall puzzle, which seems to include empty spaces (e.g. 6x6x6 = 216)

P is the number of pieces including the cage

M is the number of moves to remove the first piece, which seems to be omitted if it is only 1 move"

USA Shipping $16. Canada $35. All lots shipped separately. No PayPal fees.

Tempting Balance by Tatsuo Miyamoto (Karakuri)A great idea from Miyamoto, he commented "This work was designed for an exhibition with the theme, “Karakuri Experiments”. It was challenging to create it. Last year, I bought a set of balance scales at an antique store. It fit the theme of experimentation, so I took a chance and made it into a Karakuri work piece. It was a challenge to create a retro atmosphere."New in original box with all inserts.Shipping by USPS, payment via Zelle, check ...
