Hey folks, I received my copy of the AMAZING 'CUBE' from Jerry, thanks buddy!!  Special thanks go out to Mr. Bill Cutler for allowing me to acquire this incredible puzzle, I've yet to explore it's legendary puzzling properties but I will give a full update once I've had time alone with this 'BEAST'!!!!!!  Here's a pic for all to drool over!  |

Looks like you might need a hammer to figure that one out.

Well let me tell you...it came with a 17 page booklet!! Bill Cutler first designed this puzzle in 1965, and through the years Bill made several variations until Jerry started making them. This puzzle has historical significance, akin to Stewart Coffin's 'Sphinx'! |

Quick update: This puzzle is one of the toughest I've ever tried solving, lots of piece movement but no luck in removing the key piece  ...I'll keep you posted |

I want to fry my brain by trying to make something similar. You know that I don't have the patience to mess with solving puzzles.
However, feel free to torment in any other creative way you can devise. You know I love that.

Well, still no luck in solving this puzzle, but let me say it does use an ingenious 'concept' that I've never seen in a burr puzzle or puzzlebox for that matter, that's all I'm saying |

don't feel bad, John... I don't think there are many people out there that
can solve this puzzle without hints or serious clues...

Well...solved at last!!!!! There was a 'dead end' that kept me going back and forth for quite some time. Maybe now I can get some 'free' time for penOops puzzlemaking |

I don't know, your new lathe equipment seems a bit tempting. Perhaps you should make pens for a while and get rid of that holly stock.
