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!”

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...

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.

Singmaster Packing - David Singmaster (1971) by John Devost
This design by Professor Singmaster (sadly passed away in 2023) was my very first puzzle offering at CubicDissection back in 2005, it’s 25 pieces that can be packed in the box 22 ways.I was going through my ‘Salvaged Piano Wood’ (see last photo of my keyboard wall hanging, that I made from our upright piano that was produced in the ‘roaring ‘20’s!), so I figured I’d make more of this classic puzzle with this antique lumber.As always everything gets my ‘triple buffing finish’ th...
