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.

Tube It In - William Strijbos by John Devost
It seems hard to believe that it's been almost 20 years since I first made a small run of this clever packing puzzle design in 2006.  William has graciously allowed me to offer up another run as there were only a dozen copies made in 2006.The original metal version was William’s exchange puzzle at the IPP21 in Tokyo.This version is made using many wood varieties and includes a Stand.  The entire puzzle has been ‘triple buffed’ giving it a very nice sheen.Overall size is a little over 4...

Brick Wall - Lucie Pauwels by Pelikan
This is an awesome design by Lucie and it’s expertly crafted by Pelikan using Bubinga for the ‘Bricks’ with Maple used for the ‘Grout’.  Placing the 11 pieces within the frame is rather tricky.I made a Box and Lid from Black Limba to house this puzzle.  I also added a removable sleeve from Tigerwood.  Slipfeathers are Wenge.Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
