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.”

I previously made a few of this surprisingly difficult packing puzzle by Gaétan and at the time I didn’t have any contact info for him but then a few years ago I was surprised by one of his puzzle purchases in ‘Paradise’.My plan was to make another run but life kinda’ took a turn so now I’ve managed to sort myself out and began making another run.Allard kindly blogged about the copies I made in 2014, here’s an excerpt:https://allardspuzzlingtimes.blogspot.com/2014/04/gouge-packing-p...

Five Woods - Stewart Coffin by John Devost
I made several copies of this very tricky design by Stewart and thought I’d make a few more.This copy is made from wood that I salvaged from an antique upright piano with Padauk Slipfeathers.Everything has been ‘triple buffed’.Here’s an excerpt from Stewart:“In case you haven't already discovered, polyominoes is the name given to puzzle pieces made of squares joined different ways. A popular recreation is to fit them snugly into a square or rectangular tray. The long-time popularity of...

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...
