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 smaller scale, I used a 3/16” unit size with the overall size being approximately 6” x 4”.The woods used were salvaged from an old upright piano from the 1920’s that I layed out the keys in a wall hanging (see last photo).

Tube It In 2 - William Hu by John Devost

I’m sure everyone is quite familiar with William Strijbos’ original Tube It In design so I don’t think I need to give a lengthy description but should say that William Hu came up with a novel design twist on this awesome puzzle and he has graciously allowed me to make a small run.I’ve long since left the puzzle scene after completely retiring, however I did finish up a select few of these and thought I’d offer them up for sale.This puzzle is crafted from Padauk with Yellowheart Slipfea...
