Description

This is a finely crafted puzzle where the construction of the dovetail looks impossible. It's a neat little impossible object with a simple, but clever trick to it. Don't feel ashamed if you take forever to solve it. I took months before I got the crucial insight for how to take it apart despite how simple it was in the end. You won't solve it purely through luck alone.

While this puzzle can be bought from PuzzleMaster, their version is green which isn't as nice as the turquoise color of this version and it's 2" by 1.4" by 0.8" while this version is actually 2.375" by 1.625" by 0.9375". So it's prettier and beefier than the one you can get from PM.

I accept Paypal, but there are no extra Paypal fees, since I consider it to be the responsibility of the seller rather than the buyer.

I accept Transferwise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS.

Buyer chooses the shipping speed, First Class or Priority.
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...

Grooved 6 Board Burr #7 by Juno

The Grooved Board Burr series was an amazing innovation in the design of board burrs where instead of just burr plates that the solver has to figure out how to take apart, they now have to deal with blocking pins obstructing their ability to dismantle this burr. I only ever had the luck to try #6 and #7 in the series, but they were both an absolute blast to solve!It's the hardest one in the series and stays stable for an impressively long time. But the final few moves before the first piece can ...

Dark Matter Burr by Juno

Dark Matter Burr sounds ominous with it's name and looks, but it's quite gentle in my eyes.I solved it fairly quick when I first got it, but it's really fun to take apart and reassemble with how there are only 18 moves to take out the first piece. It looks like it should be a nightmare with its unusual pieces' shapes, but once the solver gets going, it's only a modest challenge to beat. I wouldn't say this is an easy puzzle or beginner-friendly, but it's not hard either. I rate this at medium di...

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...
