Description

I have decided to offer up this puzzle in an effort to further thin out my personal collection.

This was Henry Strout's IPP 41 Exchange puzzle in Houston, Texas.

This packing puzzle has a ‘Train’ theme with the goal of packing six pieces into the box, however they all won’t fit in the box, with an opening at one end you literally have to ‘think outside the box’.

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

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...

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).

11 ‘F’ Pentominominoes by John Devost

I spotted this design on Ishino’s site early this year and decided to make a copy. The designer is unknown and features one solution in the 4x4x4 box that I made for it. It also features only one solution in a flat 8x8 configuration.Both solutions contain voids making this a very tricky solve and I also made extra cubes that can be used in the solve but not really sure if that helps or hinders your progress? (See last photo)Maple was used from an antique upright piano with Padauk Slipfea...
