Any recommendations for my first Strijbos puzzle that is being sold now? He makes some very beautiful puzzles. Looking for a medium difficulty puzzle that doesn't cost a silly amount of money.
Thanks all.

I really enjoyed the lotus as well as the first box and aluminium cross.

My second Strijbos bolt, affectionately named the nipple bolt, is now opened. Not sure why it took this long for it to cooperate. Neat design though.
Oh yeah, his name, not mine.

The dovetail T has me stumped unless it's just stubborn! Love the design though!

Finally convinced the T to play nice.I'm happy I was always thinking on the right lines. It just proved to be a little stubborn.

Hello fellow geniouses 
I read some blog posts about Strijbos' puzzles. Well i didnt actually go through some of them. I went through ALL of them about some puzzles!! And im simply amazed - ALL THE POSTS I HAVE READ, SAID THAT THE PUZZLES ARE AMAZING.
So, obviously i would like to know what the mailing list does in addition to allow you buy puzzles from Wil. Im planning on getting the Lotus and First Box puzzles sometime in the next two months. Well, im not one of the hardcore collectors that buys 25 puzzles at one go, but i definetely enjoy challenging puzzles( long time to solve but progress is felt at least a bit) so usually one puzzle at a time can make me happy
Thanks ahead !

Lotus and first box are good choices, you will enjoy them!
The mails Wil sometimes sends out simply inform the recipients of a fraction of what Wil has available at that moment. He will sell puzzles to any seriously interested puzzler, not limited to those who happen to be on his newsletter list.
If you know what you want, just send Wil an e-mail and ask for it.
Alternatively you can buy his puzzles from puzzle we shops that advertise them.

Yes, don't worry about it. Even if you don't buy any Will can/wil put you on the list. Het is a very nice guy who is all in to the enjoyment of puzzles.
