Description

This may be the most creative and complex creation from one of the world’s foremost puzzle designers and craftsmen, Robert Yarger (“Stickman”).  Only 60 of this massive puzzle were made – this is #40.  Rather than try to generate the words to describe this singular creation, I’ll instead rely on excerpts from the review by Boxes and Booze that captures the puzzle so well:

 

“The Dwemer Construct, aka The Stickman No. 34 Puzzlebox, is an impressive artifact indeed. It appears to be partly a box, at least on the bottom, which serves as a pedestal supporting an explosion of mechanical marvels. There are a myriad of levers, gears, knobs, cranks, pistons, cogs and unusual objects packed into the space on top of the box and held in place by a framework. It’s incredibly mysterious and confusing. It’s also all beautifully rendered in polished walnut and sapele woods, with little maple details scattered all about. There are unique corner step columns which provide a novel detail.  […]  Things move, here and there, and sometimes other things move in response. Certain parts seem to produce movements in entirely different sections, but not always. Sometimes the same move does not produce the same result … this is classic Stickman and can be found on a few other boxes he has created over the years.”

 

“The entire structure comes apart […]. After this, a pouch hidden inside is discovered, which contains even more parts, and the means with which to deconstruct the works. Once fully disassembled, the next challenge is to figure out how to reconstruct the parts into a second, completely different configuration. This is easily the most unusual aspect to any puzzle Rob has ever created, and takes the solver on the same journey that Rob takes when designing many of his puzzles.”

 

“There are so many aspects to enjoying this marvelous work, with levels of complexity from the basic to the extreme, and the ability to choose your own experience. It’s an incredible achievement and one of the most unusual Stickman boxes ever.”

Bus Stop (2018) - Osamu Kasho (Karakuri)
Bus Stop is a fantastic example of celebrated puzzle craftsman Osamu Kasho’s singular combination of playful Karakuri design coupled with delightful puzzling mechanic.  There’s a bus.  There’s a stop sign.  We all know what a vehicle does at a stop sign.  How does this play out here?  Figuring that out is the key to opening the box, and even with the solution being connected to the puzzle’s theme it can still take some time to figure out the key step.  And it’s beautiful, craft...

Honeybee (2009) - Haroyuki Oka (Karakuri)
This adorable early Karakuri box depicts a scene from nature – a bee flying about a flower.  A combination of at least six exotic woods are used to create a flower under which the box sits and a bee with wings and antenna that magnetically sticks to the flower and can be moved about it.  As with the best Kararukis the solution is connected to the theme of the puzzle in a delightful way.  This very rare puzzle box is by early craftsman Haroyuke Oka, who was responsible for a number of very c...
