Asymmetric Cube -5- - Hideaki Kawashima

For those familiar with Kawashima’s Bars Box puzzles, Asymmetric Cube -5- is more than just another in the series.

The puzzle is ...

It appears to be...

Pyrigan 808 - John Partridge

Precision-engineered metal puzzles have become a cornerstone of many serious collections. One of its early pioneers is John Partridge of Pyrigan & Company Puzzles, whose exacting design and production standards have yielded just three now-classic creations: #357, #360, and his first - and now very hard-to-find - #808. The #808 is machined from T6061 aluminum with a tolerance of +/- 0.002 inches. It features two apparent dovetail joints, concealing an internal mechanism that must be discovere...
