Description


This cool packing puzzle was designed by Brian and is a continuation of Henry’s ‘Train themed’ puzzles.  It was Henry’s gift at the IPP34 Exchange at London, England.

There are 6 pieces that need to be packed into the box car, that has one lone block permanently attached.

Entire puzzle and pieces were triple buffed to a nice lustre.


Please note:


I modified the train box portion so it is now glued to the train car (with Olivewood edging) and features a removable lid (inset made from Padauk).  I also noticed that the 6 pieces could potentially fit in the familiar 3x3x3 cube arrangement.  It turns out that it does so I made a Box and Base made from Purpleheart, Yellowheart and Cherry, Slipfeathers are Padauk.


Included is an information sheet with solutions (handwritten) on the reverse.


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

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...

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...

Four-Piece Serially Interlocking Cube & Modified 3-Piece version - Stewart Coffin Design #93 by John Devost
I’ve made so many of this design that I can’t even remember how many, it’s one of my favourites of Stewart’s designs.  I often would make them when making a fresh batch of wood sticks for cube designs and when I last did that I mistakenly glued up a version that ended up being only 3 pieces instead of 4.  I’m offering it up here as well as a correct 4 piece version both in Maple.Second photo shows the pieces of the 4 piece version.Both copies have been triple buffed as always and c...
