You've made some great puzzle choices there! Anti-Slide is a brilliant puzzle, but is often overlooked.

Thanks . I've never tried Anti-Slide, and Wil says it is going out of production.
On the other hand, Wil gave me a run down on what he has in the pipeline, and there are lots of goodies to come.

Excellent - glad that worked out for you... wonderful bloke eh? Hope he told you some of his stories, they're the best...

Yep, he's a wonderful bloke. He told me some stories, and ran through the history of many of his designs - showed me some prototypes and stuff he's going to make again .
I played with some very nice Gary Foshee puzzles I'd never seen before. And some Rogers that weren't at MPP. Plus loads of other weird objects - rule 1 in Wil's house is: "If you don't know what it is, then it is a bottle opener".
There's so much stuff there that 4 hours was nowhere near long enough

Just received my shipment from Wil, a day earlier than expected very pleased with them, Aluminium Cross and Aluminium Cylinder, lovely puzzles. Opened the Cross, nice mechanism, simple yet effective working on the cylinder

Got bored at work, so decided to see if I could make something else out of one of Wil's Burrs...



Anyone else ever done this sort of thing, or is it just me who's weird?

Fear not, I've done this with a few burrs as well. Normally when I can't find the actual solution.

Now at least we're both weird.

opened my Aluminium Cylinder at work last night accidentally whilst explaining it still not quite sure how to open it properly, but its very good regardless

I solved the 1 Euro Labyrinth Quite a tricky puzzle ( available from Wil Strijbos ). A good "aha" moment ( or two ).

...I found it useful to remember who designed it!

I solved and restored one of Wil's Whisky Bottles today.... Not too difficult, but I needed a lot of patience with the dexterity moves.. Very satisfying, though.

Maybe this has already been mentioned, however I didn't catch it.
What should I expect to pay for some of these puzzles, such as the
aluminum cylinder, washer cylinder and cross or any other puzzles
that have been mentioned in this thread? Thank you in advance.
