Does this guy sell his puzzles in some kind of unique marketplace? It seems that every one of his little creations is unique – meaning that they would be very expensive. Incredible to think what they might sell for in a competitive bidding environment.
I really liked this video, a lot of information (if you’re new to puzzle boxes) packed into a very compact short. I could have watched a much longer version of this, easily 20 – 30 minutes. Any chance of a longer edit Charlie? For some reason it’s really interesting to watch other people solving puzzles, and I would have liked to have seen the interviewer try a few more.
Wood is such a beautiful material, and working with it seems to be the complete antithesis of the insane digital age we live in.

Probably not, due to the muscle memory will be triggered due to the amount of time taken to make the puzzle in the first place

These are actually really great. I love these. I build guitars on occasion (I’m much more into building amps and pedals) but I have just enough wood working experience to understand what must go into these which makes me appreciate what he is doing even more. I love that he is also a mathematician because this is exactly what I’d expect a mathematician wood worker to make lol!
