Puzzle Explorer: February 2013
http://puzzleexplorer.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
The exploration of a junior puzzler in this vast puzzle world! Sunday, February 24, 2013. Inventor: Oscar van Deventer. This is the Medallion puzzle, invented by the puzzle genius Oscar van Deventer and brought to me by Puzzlemaster. Thanks Puzzlemaster for sending me this puzzle free for review. I think it just looks brilliant with the Gold &. Silver anodized plates and it's medal shape! All in all another great Oscar design with excellent Hanayama quality - for my two cents, when those meet together, y...

Puzzle Explorer: Scott's Wonders 1: Stewart Coffin's Involution Puzzle
http://puzzleexplorer.blogspot.com/2013/07/scotts-wonders-1-stewart-coffins.html
The exploration of a junior puzzler in this vast puzzle world! Saturday, July 13, 2013. Scott's Wonders 1: Stewart Coffin's Involution Puzzle. ST: 15 min by Kevin Standard. How time pass by! I am ashamed to have not kept my promise! Around the end of last year I discovered the Rosebud surfing in the puzzle blog-dom (they do a great job of bankrupting puzzlers, you know who you are! And no, this amateur is not good enough to be one of them! The pictures really do bad. Advertising for Scott-especially mine!

PuzzleMad: Not too chicken to pull its' legs off!
http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2015/05/not-too-chicken-to-pull-its-legs-off.html
A mechanical puzzle blog from a grown man who should know better! Sunday, 3 May 2015. Not too chicken to pull its' legs off! It's a wooden chicken. I didn't realise until after I had posted but this is my 300th blog post since I began 4 years ago in March 2011! What a lot of puzzling experience! What a lot of cash gone! Luckily this commemorative post (and the next) are about the work of truly fabulous craftsmen. Eric Fuller recently put up an update on his Cubic dissection. And I was caught by surprise!

PuzzleMad: Funzzle Puzzles - Beta followed by some PAIN!
http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2015/06/funzzle-puzzles-beta-followed-by-some.html
A mechanical puzzle blog from a grown man who should know better! Sunday, 14 June 2015. Funzzle Puzzles - Beta followed by some PAIN! Funnzle puzzle - Beta. This is the last of my Puzzle Master. I really must get back to them and place another order soon but I seem to have been pretty busy recently. In fact I have been so busy that I have had a huge number of deliveries over the last few weeks (see here. For a shameful list) and actually not had time to do any more than unpack them and take photos! The P...

PuzzleMad: Not a box! A sequential discovery puzzle with a cavity!
http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2014/09/not-box-sequential-discovery-puzzle.html
A mechanical puzzle blog from a grown man who should know better! Sunday, 28 September 2014. A sequential discovery puzzle with a cavity! It's a sequential discovery puzzle! It is a standing joke amongst the puzzling community (mostly MPP guys but now some of the IPP guys too) that for someone who doesn't collect puzzle boxes, I do seem to have some absolutely stunning examples in my collection! Why do I do this? It's to save my sanity and my bank account from total annihilation! That when the Stickman.

PuzzleMad: Part 1 of a "Two fer" in Honour of IPP35 - Hemi-spheres Puzzle
http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2015/08/part-1-of-two-fer-in-honour-of-ipp35.html
A mechanical puzzle blog from a grown man who should know better! Sunday, 9 August 2015. Part 1 of a "Two fer" in Honour of IPP35 - Hemi-spheres Puzzle. Puzzle - looks simple doesn't it? Last year was my first ever attendance at the international puzzle party and I had the most amazing time finally meeting puzzle friends from all over the world. I dragged the present Mrs S with me and she had a good time too (even if it was non-puzzling) - I was very proud that there were barely any Whack! Yes it’s...

PuzzleMad: Creative Crafthouse - Soma cube (craftsman edition)
http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2011/03/creative-crafthouse-soma-cube-craftsman.html
A mechanical puzzle blog from a grown man who should know better! Sunday, 27 March 2011. Creative Crafthouse - Soma cube (craftsman edition). Another puzzle I bought from Creative Crafthouse. Was a rather nice medium sized Soma cube made from rubberwood, stored in a matching well made box. Puzzle collections should include a Soma cube! I had one made from mahogany when I was a kid and I have no idea what happened to it! It is not particularly difficult but does require some thought. I say again that All.

http://boxesandbooze.blogspot.com/2015/08/incredibly-perplexing-pairing.html
Pairing craft cocktails with crafty puzzles. Saturday, August 8, 2015. It’s time for another Canadian theme, at least in part, due to a group of intriguing, playful people. The Crypsis Box by Kel Snake. Kel has added a bit of mischief to this puzzle which gets revealed at the end, and I would hate to spoil the surprise. And the others lucky spirits. The Sierra Madre Sunrise by Elana Lepkowski. For more about Kel Snake:. Https:/ www.facebook.com/KelSnake. August 8, 2015 at 12:57 PM. I saw the box at IPP35...

Pulmallinen tapaus: Japanilainen pulmalaatikko
http://pulmallinentapaus.blogspot.com/2013/03/japanilainen-pulmalaatikko_24.html
Keski-ikäinen mies, joka ei osaa avata itseään, avaa pulmaleluja sen sijaan. Sunnuntai 24. maaliskuuta 2013. Tässäpä sitten kaikkien pulmalaatikoiden kantaisä: japanilainen pulmalaatikko. Himitsu-Bakot ovatkin ennen kaikkea taideteoksia, todella kauniita ja näyttäviä esineitä, jotka osoittavat mihin hyvä käsityöläinen pystyy. Paitsi, että jo Yosegi-kuviointi on ihailun arvoista, niin on myös mekaniikka, joka laatikoiden sisältä löytyy. Laatikoiden mekaniikkaa ei ole muuten koskaan kirjattu mihink...Himit...

Brian's Damn Puzzle Blog: January 2012
http://mechanical-puzzles.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Brian's Damn Puzzle Blog. A chronicle of my descent into the realm of the puzzle-obsessed. January 26, 2012. Well, I finally got my hands on the latest Hanayama Cast Puzzle, Cast Donuts. My favorite puzzle store in the Boston area, Eureka Puzzles and Games. I played around with this one a bit on the subway ride home, and felt like I had a pretty good handle on how it worked. I thought I knew how it needed to come apart, now it was just a matter of getting things lined up correctly. In this way, i...Event...
