Casino Packing Puzzle There is a dent or abrasion on upper lip of the box - see photo - this does not affect playing with or solving the puzzle. From CD: Casino is a brilliant packing puzzle designed by the devious Dr. Volker Latussek. The premise is simple - pack the six casino chips into the box. With such a large opening it seems like an easy task, but in fairly short order the solver realizes that some creative thinking will be necessary as the last piece simply doesn't want to fit. With...

This is the Moonage M5 sequential discovery puzzle by Stephan Baumegger. It is a fun space-themed puzzle. The puzzle is in excellent condition. The only issues are a small partial crack on a layer line of a 3D printed part that I have repaired with glue and a small chip on a fin. Both do not affect the solve at all and are not very noticeable. (Spoiler warning, the parts can be seen in this link. Do not click if you do not want spoilers!)The buyer will be responsible for shipping costs. Please...

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...

I’ve been wanting to make this design for years and now after decades making puzzles finally made a copy using some of my Salvaged Piano Wood.One of the first puzzles that I purchased from Interlocking Puzzles (Wayne Daniel - RIP) in early 2000 was this familiar 12 Piece Pentomino design.  I made a box to contain the 3x4x5 (3940 solutions) and the 2x5x6 (264 solutions) configuration.Everything has my ‘Triple Buff Finish’ and comes with printed solutions sheet.Shipping cost to be determin...

This design by Professor Singmaster (sadly passed away in 2023) was my very first puzzle offering at CubicDissection back in 2005, it’s 25 pieces that can be packed in the box 22 ways.I was going through my ‘Salvaged Piano Wood’ (see last photo of my keyboard wall hanging, that I made from our upright piano that was produced in the ‘roaring ‘20’s!), so I figured I’d make more of this classic puzzle with this antique lumber.As always everything gets my ‘triple buffing finish’ th...

This classic design was one of my earliest puzzle builds in the early 2000’s that I made for Bill Cutler.It features 18 pieces with four solutions, however finding one will definitely keep you busy for some time!I’ve always wanted to revisit it but in a much smaller scale.  This size is small enough to fit in a pocket so definitely not as tiny as Allan Boardman’s version!As always everything is given my ‘Triple Buffing’ process making for smooth buttery finish.Crafted from Canarywood...

This classic design was one of my earliest puzzle builds in the early 2000’s that I made for Bill Cutler.It features 18 pieces with four solutions, however finding one will definitely keep you busy for some time!I’ve always wanted to revisit it but in a smaller scale, I used a 3/16” unit size with the overall size being approximately 6” x 4”.The woods used were salvaged from an old upright piano from the 1920’s that I layed out the keys in a wall hanging (see last photo). Slipfeath...

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...

Spider Flinger 5000 Fourth in the Trick Box Series Trick boxes are not locked. At least, not in the traditional sense. When a puzzle collector is handed a box, years of experience immediately come rushing forward. They expect hidden catches, secret slides, invisible compartments, and clever mechanical obstacles standing between them and whatever treasure lies within. The Spider Flinger 5000 happily takes advantage of those expectations. The moment the lid is opened, the box takes control o...
