Description

In addition to crafting original puzzle boxes, Kel Snake is especially well-known for his distinctive, highly creative series of "retrofit" puzzle boxes made from vintage wood boxes. Keyed Up is distinctive in being a doubly retrofit puzzle box. First, the box is made from an old cigar box. Second, Kel took a classic Oskar van Deventer keymaze puzzle (one of the big, old ones, in metal) and figured out how to turn it into a locking mechanism for this puzzle box. According to Kel this is the only copy he ever made of this puzzle box.


Size: 112 x 100 x 147 (175 with key) mm

Condition: See photos (it's made from a used cigar box, but despite its intentionally vintage exterior the puzzle is in perfect working order)

Loopy L Cube #1 - Junichi Yananose (Juno)

Loopy L Cube #1 - Junichi Yananose (Juno)
Loopy L Cube #1 is Juno’s first assembly-style puzzle — a fresh venue in which he could showcase his signature ingenuity. Juno designed nine V-shaped pieces, each with a clever combination of tabs and holes, which must interlock to form a seemingly simple 3x3x3 cube. But true to Juno’s trademark style, the solution is surprisingly complex, with many near-miss configurations that tempt but ultimately fail. This now very hard-to-find puzzle, crafted from New Guinea Walnut and Silver Ash, ...
