Carousel Puzzle |
I have never owned anything from Kelly Snache but I have played with one or two of his fabulously crafted puzzles at various MPPs. I admired his Carousel puzzle when he showed it off on Facebook and was delighted when he offered to sell me a copy. I don't collect boxes but DO collect wood and DO collect sequential discovery puzzles with a cavity. Kelly was quite tickled by the description and I will stick to it! This requires a sequence of 6 moves to open it - I have not had time to play yet. The craftsmanship is simply superb!

When Brian Menold has an update we all pay attention! I couldn't buy everything he had produced but I cannot resist board burrs and the puzzles from Tsy Hung looked so interesting and very similar in idea to the Galaxy puzzles I had enjoyed before. I had really loved his Castle puzzle which I have reviewed
here.
To prove that I am not very bright I also bought a puzzle from Eric's remainder clearance. I bought an SM/24 which I looked at on his discontinued puzzles site and ordered quickly. I loved the colours and the idea of multiple interlocked 6 piece burrs - What I did not realise was that I already had an original copy of this puzzle made by Jerry McFarland in Walnut. The colours had fooled me! I now have one fully assembled and one in pieces!
