So once upon a time, Cubic Dissection came out with a lovely puzzle called Slideways that people just went nuts over. It was a 3-piece burr that assembled unlike any burr puzzle before it with coordinate motion moves! It was such an excellent introductory puzzle to the genre of coordinate motion puzzles, also co-mo puzzles for faster speech and slang. It had it all! It was small, easily shared around to even non-puzzlers and simple enough to convey the sheer magic of the deceptively simple and yet oddly shaped pieces of wood.
This is not that puzzle.
This is not the sequel to that puzzle, Double Slideways either.
This is the sequel to that sequel puzzle, Quad Slideways! After Slideways and Double Slideways, Raymond just wanted to hurt the fans of his prior two works and just make them suffer once and for all! Or at least that's what I think, but he was oddly kind and generous to use different wood types in this puzzle to make reassembly easier. Truly a saint for the ages this guy even as he's stabbing my brain with a headache.
I wish Cubic Dissection could have crafted a version of this puzzle with their impeccable skill, but they seemingly had no desire to do so, and Pelikan stepped in to fulfill this tragic gap with a lovely version made from maple, bubinga, and cherry!
I don't want to let go of it, but here I am selling all of my co-mo burrs! Double Slideways and my NOS burrs! Get them all for a strong head-start on your collection of co-mo burrs!
