For sale is the ORE puzzle #93 by Nic Burger. The puzzle is unsolved and has remained in its packaging since I received it. This is the original Kickstarter version which features more premium packaging and white cotton gloves for handling compared to the Puzzle Master version. I’m the original owner of the puzzle and have taken good care of it, it’s essentially brand new…same as the day I purchased it. NOTE: the first two photos are examples of the ORE puzzle solved. The puzzle will be packaged securely to avoid any potential damage during transport. Located in Canada and able to ship worldwide. Please wait for shipping to be added before paying. PayPal F&F accepted and e-transfer if within Canada.
Notes from Nic Burger below:
“ORE is a sleek, sharp, and sophisticated mechanical puzzle to be displayed as an art piece once you've completed its challenging construction.
It is made from eight different pieces of metal (seven of which are aluminum, one of which is copper) that connect in unique ways and orientations using dovetail joints. The copper piece is very heavy! Don't let the “only eight” pieces fool you; in this case, the simpler the object appears, the more complicated its construction.
One of the most interesting aspects of this puzzle is the stark contrast in color and composition as well as its very hefty weight (over 1.5 pounds!). It has been handcrafted using a CNC machine, belt sander, and a buffing wheel to give it a rustic yet polished look. The less pristine finish contributes to the "ore" nature of the display. It has been made in limited quantity, and the inside of the copper piece displays a number and the designer's name.
Designed by Nic Burger, who is an Industrial Designer by trade but enjoys making items (particularly from metal) that are beautiful and challenging.”
