That site has a few goodlooking puzzles!
Does he make them on order or sell them for fixed prices?
That site isn't Will's, it's only a puzzle collectors page. But I believe Will has fixed prices, but as he makes them himself you'll have to contact him to find out what he currently has.
I bought on the recomendation of Paradox....Aluminium Cylinder and its a great little piece. Glad I got it as its very well made. Thanks mate.

I have a photo of some puzzles but not sure how to upload it.

I thought that's what it looked like, wasn't sure though.
Where did you get it from? Straight from the designer? I can't see any links to buy on the site paradox listed.

This is Will Strijbos email and you just need to drop him a line and he will answer any questions. A great guy to deal with.

...he solved my T5 in about 10 minutes a couple of weeks ago over a cup of coffee... EDIT: There was a T3 present as well if memory serves....

Cool. Thanks for that :)

No, I don't have any popplocks myself, but I've had a go on 2 (I think) or allard's :)

edit: beat me to it, I'm too slow tonight apparently :|
:lol:

edit 2: does anybody here have a gordian's knot? Nigel introduced me to it a week or two back. After borrowing his for a while I'm totally hooked on it! I started timing myself on disassembling it and re-assembly. I got it down to 36 seconds for both one night ;) (and that's without any cheat moves like rotations)

I can now fairly easily do sub 1 minute, but less that 40 seconds is still tough!

Yeah, but you reminded me I'd brought two of them along...hence the edit!
