Description

Improved Cluster Buster STC#49 by Stewart Coffin / Lee Krasnow - Pacific Puzzleworks

Lee Krasnow's Pacific Puzzleworks is a renowned super high precision workshop without equal in the puzzle world.  His pieces are cut with extremely low tolerances to create a perfect fit with this very demanding Coffin design.  Six canarywood pieces in original shrink wrap box from PPW, this is a first quality issue.

You will not find a finer example of this puzzle.

Lee's description of this puzzle: "Looking like clusters of six rhombic dodecahedrons, these puzzles are members of the Diagonal Burr family. Assembly is moderately difficult due to the dexterity required to align the two halves of the puzzle just right in order to get all of the pointy tips properly overlapping each other. Disassembly (i.e. "busting" the cluster) can be quite tricky because of the awkward placement of six fingers required to begin pushing the two halves apart. The classic version of the Cluster Buster has all six pieces identical in shape, whereas the improved version uses three different piece shapes which come in pairs. The slight variation between piece types in the improved version makes both assembly and disassembly more difficult."

Box in BoxNo origin information on this puzzle, but it consists of two separate boxes (4 halves in all) in two different hard woods.  The object is to hide one color box inside the other color box.  Either color can be hidden inside the other.  This is a great head scratcher for new puzzlers and the box quality and dimensions are spot on.  The last copy of this I saw was produced by Wayne Daniel and had the marking "WAD" on one of the boxes.  There is no such marking I see here, but the box...

Mini Lock by Christoph Lohe / PelikanCrafted in Ash and Purpleheart by Pelikan.Christoph Lohe wrote about it: “The puzzle consists only of a frame with one obstacle, a shackle, and two sticks. With a level 6.7 it is not a difficult puzzle, but it can be operated like a tiny padlock, which is a nice touch. When I received Pelikan's sample, I was amazed what they made of the design. They have been able to build it in a tiny size, only about 25 grams. Nevertheless, the woodworking is fabulous, v...
