Dog Catcher by Alfons Eyckmans

Alfons originally released this insanely difficult burr puzzle in 2017, and this was the first burr that I had to sneak a peak at the burrtools file to disassemble it!  

It’s essentially a 12 piece burr, however there’s a frame that restricts movement and three ‘Dog’ pieces packed inside that further hinder your progress.

Alfons drilled holes in the bottom of the frame and included a wire rod that you need to use for pushing/prodding the ‘Dogs’.

It’s a very clever puzzle and I tip my hat to Alfons on a job well done!

Here’s a brief description from Alfons:

“16 piece puzzle "Dog Catcher"

Level: 34.2.8.5.2.1.1.1.2

The dog are difficult to catch, they move 10 times”

Please note that the puzzle will ship in an ‘unsolved state’ (see first pics) as I cannot completely assemble it, I’ve had it completely apart several times but just can’t figure out the last dozen or so moves!

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
