Description

I’m reluctantly offering up this amazing 1 of 1 PuzzleBox from Kel to free up funds for other puzzles.

I don’t collect puzzle boxes so this is your chance to acquire one of Kel’s one of a kind creations, comes with full solution instructions with reset featuring accompanying photos.


This wonderful PuzzleBox is the second in a Limited Edition release from Kel using vintage wood yardsticks from days gone by.

In 2017 Kel first offered me the first in this series called ‘Pinch an inch’, of course I jumped at the chance to acquire this entire run of 10 puzzleboxes.

Please see my initial blog about his first release.

Here’s Kel’s description of this 2nd offering:


“Yard Schtick - Design #2/10.  Made from 2 vintage yard sticks.  


There are 3 knobs and 3 buttons and only one way in.  


An interesting concept I worked through was making it so that the two faces are removable, hmmm.


I think it's more of a challenge coming up with the puzzle's name, lol, and now only 8 more designs to go!”


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

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). Slipfeath...

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...

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...
