Description

This puzzle seems like such a different type of puzzle that it seems like it should have its own special category within the box packing genre, it’s a very clever design by Alex!

Very nicely crafted by Pelikan using Mahogany for the box with a trapped sliding Wenge piece and Maple pieces that need to be packed in!


Alexander Magyarics wrote about it:


“I've been playing with this idea for a long time – to create a packing puzzle where one of the pieces cannot be taken out of the box and it works as a moving obstacle to make your solving process more difficult. Three pieces must be placed in the 3x3x3 cube under the 'timber', you don't need to fill the opening completely. One unit cube of the 'timber' enters the inner 3x3x3 space – it ends its journey in the middle of the upper side (the same position as in the distribution pack). You can find several solutions to put the pieces inside but only one leads to the correct position of the timber. Disassembly level 7.6.8. The craftsmanship of Pelikan team is just stunning, I love the contrasting wood selection. I'm throwing a coin to wish you a good puzzling time!”


Shipping to be determined at close of auction.

I stumbled upon this neat puzzle design as I was using up some maple from an antique upright piano.There are 4 solutions to this puzzle and finding one is not very difficult, however trying to find all four is another story.This is a one off copy with Padauk slipfeathers.Comes with printed solutions sheet, signed and dated.Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

Gouge Packing Puzzle - Gaétan Gouge by John Devost
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...

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...
