Here's one of my creations...the general idea when turning these puzzles is to be prepared to duck for cover...DAMHIKT!

Okay folks, here's a very nicely turned puzzle;

Trirods ball

designed by
Jarda Svejkovskiy, CZ 2008

Here's a direct pic of the one from above;

Double Trouble globe

the well known cube puzzle Double Trouble was changed by craftmanship into the globe form; I`m very sad to inform the puzzleworld that Kevin Holmes died 22.9.2008; we all lost a friend and a famous puzzledesigner

Easter Egg

designed by
Jaroslav Svejkovski, czech republic, 2007

just like in other puzzlevariations of different designers J. Svejkovski shows his skill in modification of known interlocking puzzles; so he changed the Trirods puzzle for Easter into a marvellous easteregg produced from different high quality hardwoods

One more for your viewing pleasure;

O.S.M Ball

description
after long years as employee in the staff of Josef Pelikan he came into contact with an enormous number of different puzzledesigns; now as coowner of the official successor puzzlecompany he presents his first own design, actually influenced by some ideas of Leonid Mochalov, but his O.S.M. Ball is a a original new design; a ball, formed by 8 different pieces with only one solution, produced with high quality hardwoods

I like that first puzzle.  Now you have something to put your squares in.

Do you have plans for it, or can I come up with something to add.

[Canuck]

Go ahead, add to it....it's a domino tower made into a cylinder...nothin' special

[Roby]

Ahh, well nevermind.  Actually, it was pretty close to that thing I wanted you to make a long time ago when we were working on a project together, but instead made the domino box.  Which by the way uhhh ebony dominoes?

[Canuck]

Actually, I could fit them in anytime...let me know

hi all turned puzzle lovers

some of the pieces shown here by Canuck are available via my website, have a look tehre and ask for availability;
in the moment I`m planing (to avoid the immense high shipping costs from Europe to USA or Canda) to make a deposit via "Canuck" and you can order some single pieces directly from North American then via Davans;
bigger orders can be made directly via:
www.puzzlewood.de

or
B.Schweitzer@t-online.de

happy puzzling

[Canuck]
