Description



In an effort to thin out my collection I’m offering up this pristine puzzle lock by William.


“Inspired by the puzzle by Gary Foshee, (the "Lunatic Lock"), Wil Strijbos (with permission) created a look-alike lock with a modified internal mechanism - the Revenge Lock.  At the time, (1990's), 20 or 30 Revenge locks were made.  After revamping this puzzle several years ago, Wil thought he was ready for production.  The Wanderer came to test his lock and solved it in an impossible way.  This caused Wil to redesign the internal mechanism to force the solver to start from the correct position, with no chance of starting halfway through. (When the lock is in the frame, it is in the starting position) To add even more control to the positions along the way, he put a Wanderer inside - which is why the name changed from Revenge Lock to "The Wanderer".

The challenges in this lock are described in two parts:     
First Part: 
1- Discover your Number
2 - Open the Shackle 
3 - Remove the Brass Key 
4 - Find the Tiny Wanderer     
Second Part: 
5 - Replace the Wanderer - Brass Key - Shackle 
6 - Put the Lock back in the Frame. 
7 - Fix the Lock back into the Frame.

There are no magnets, no banging required, no force needed, and no external tools required.”

Tube It In - William Strijbos by John Devost
It seems hard to believe that it's been almost 20 years since I first made a small run of this clever packing puzzle design in 2006.  William has graciously allowed me to offer up another run as there were only a dozen copies made in 2006.The original metal version was William’s exchange puzzle at the IPP21 in Tokyo.This version is made using many wood varieties and includes a Stand.  The entire puzzle has been ‘triple buffed’ giving it a very nice sheen.Overall size is a little over 4...

This classic design was one of my earliest puzzle builds in the early 2000’s that I made for Bill Cutler.It features 18 pieces with four solutions, however finding one will definitely keep you busy for some time!I’ve always wanted to revisit it but in a much smaller scale.  This size is small enough to fit in a pocket so definitely not as tiny as Allan Boardman’s version!As always everything is given my ‘Triple Buffing’ process making for smooth buttery finish.Crafted from Canarywood...

Singmaster Packing - David Singmaster (1971) by John Devost
This design by Professor Singmaster (sadly passed away in 2023) was my very first puzzle offering at CubicDissection back in 2005, it’s 25 pieces that can be packed in the box 22 ways.I was going through my ‘Salvaged Piano Wood’ (see last photo of my keyboard wall hanging, that I made from our upright piano that was produced in the ‘roaring ‘20’s!), so I figured I’d make more of this classic puzzle with this antique lumber.As always everything gets my ‘triple buffing finish’ th...
