Very elegant design.  It really is quite simple to put together, yet many in my family were intimidated by it.  When it comes apart, people seem to assume it's going to be really tough to get back together.  My kids as well as wife had this reaction.

By the way, I thought of a variation of this puzzle that might be interesting.  Let me know if any of you are making a couple and you can try it out.

George - variations are many times liegitimate new designs...you should explore it and publish it on Ishino's site.  Post the idea here and maybe you'll find a craftsman to make it Wink

Thanks, Eric!  I have come up with dozens of variations for this puzzle.  But as with many good puzzles, it is hard to improve on the original.  I now have one variation which looks quite different and isn't made from dominoes at all (but rather, from cubes).  Nonetheless, the solution is similar although a little harder (more like a domino block).  I have sent it to Ishino and hopefully he will add in in the next few days.  I call it "Quad Helix".

Thanks Johan,

You're right Jolly's Spiral Cube #1 is related to the Domino Tower.  My new design is somewhere between the two, using 4 identical pieces that are similar to Jolly's but a bit larger, it is based on a 5x5x5 cube.  I like all Tom Jolly's designs I've seen on Isino's web site.

Your photo of the piece is very nice!
