Description

I have decided to offer up this puzzle in an effort to further thin out my personal collection.

Henry featured this outstanding packing puzzle at IPP 31 Exchange in Berlin, Germany.

This is the first appearance of Henry’s wonderful series of ‘train car’ themed packing puzzles that were featured as his exchange puzzles at IPP events.

This of course is Henry’s ‘Train Engine’, it has a removable cab (with a trick pin holding it in place). Its namesake is a nod to an earlier Exchange puzzle designed by Stewart Coffin called ‘Blocked Box’, this packing challenge is on par with Stewart’s version!

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).

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...

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?
