Description

This is a very cool puzzle by Tamas and your goal is to manipulate the five keys and two sliders in an effort to completely disassemble it. The metal ‘fob’ piece assures that you keep to a rather high move count of 59.2, in fact Tamas pointed this out in a note “the wire ring is foldable so you can rearrange the keys so the puzzle has more solutions.”

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

My One and Only - Stewart Coffin by John Devost

This awesome design by Stewart is one of my favourite, it appears so simple but is fiendishly difficult to solve.Here’s an excerpt from Stewart:“The problem here was to find a combination using the five non-symmetrical pentominoes (made of five joined squares) plus one other pentomino that fit into a rectangular tray one way only. After a long search, this goal was finally achieved.”Comes with a signed and dated sheet.Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

Christmas 2001 - Stewart Coffin #182 by John Devost

I originally made a small amount of this wonderful design in 2006 (sold at CubicDissection) and thought I might make a few more copies.This particular copy is crafted from Maple from an antique upright piano with Padauk slipfeathers.Stewart makes note of this particular version:“The Original Christmas has two design flaws - a piece duplicated and a symmetrical piece. Both flaws have been corrected in this 2018 version. Both versions have only one solution.”Entire puzzle has been ‘tri...

Convolution - Stewart Coffin by John Devost

This is my favourite cube design by Stewart and I’ve crafted countless copies over the years, however this particular copy was made entirely from Maple. I made this one in January and I was quite fond of the puzzling nature of it being made from one type of wood as it definitely makes it much more difficult to disassemble and of course incredibly difficult to reassemble!I also made a two-piece stand using the same Maple harvested from an antique upright piano.Comes with printed solution she...
