Description

a 38-piece variation on William Altekruse's original puzzle patented in 1890, designed by Stewart Coffin and made by Interlocking Puzzles, who produced several of his designs. this one is from 2001.

Stewart described this variation in The Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections (Ch.6):

Once the basic principle is understood, these larger versions are not very difficult to assemble except that some trial and error may be required to figure out the correct order of assembly. They also require more dexterity of the others, and it helps if the pieces are accurately made.

...which these pieces are.

buyer has the choice of shipping assembled or disassembled.

buyer pays shipping.

shipment will be by USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full sale price.

payment via PayPal only.

♫:

all puzzles in my collection have been kept out of sunlight, in a humidity-stable room, away from pets unless they can solve them, and in a non-smoking household.

thank you for looking, and good luck if you bid.

Juno - Ring Case (2019)

not sure what Juno thinks, but i consider this an honourary member of the card case series. this is a sequential discovery puzzle, however, and the card cases aren't. (also, while card cases come with solutions, no documentation came with this.) for the record, this is one of my favourite of Juno's SD puzzles. it's compact, it doesn't look like a puzzle but it is, and i think the solution path is rather elegant. and yes: there's a ring inside, and i really want to see some...

Bill Cutler - Visible Burr (CubicDissection, 2015)

Bill Cutler's Visible Burr, made by Eric Fuller in 2015 out of canarywood, purpleheart, and padauk. Eric's (and Bill's)description: Another classic Cutler burr, I chose to interpret this one with more colorful woods than the usual cherry/walnut/maple. The size is also a bit smaller so it doesn't crowd your shelves. Here is what Bill has to say about the Visible Burr design: I like to design burrs which are difficult to take apart. This requires irregular not...
