Description

This is a very cool puzzle by Tamas and your goal is to manipulate the five keys and two sliders in an effort to completely disassemble it. The metal ‘fob’ piece assures that you keep to a rather high move count of 59.2, in fact Tamas pointed this out in a note “the wire ring is foldable so you can rearrange the keys so the puzzle has more solutions.”

Shipping cost 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...

Doubleplay - Stewart Coffin Design #X-75 (2015) by John Devost

This design was used by Saul Bobroff as his IPP 37 Exchange puzzle gift in Paris.Stewart designed this cool puzzle in 2015 and used three different lidded box variants, and I thought I’d craft my version using a dovetail lid similar to Saul’s version.Here’s Stewart’s description:“The name Doubleplay comes from the two tasks – finding the one solution to the 3x3x3 cubic assembly, and then figuring out how to get the darn thing into the box, both difficult.”I used more of my ‘Piano...

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...
