Puzzlemad - Kev1n's puzzle blog!

[kev1n]

Thought I also should jump on the advertising band wagon!!!

If you hadn't realised I also have a blog it is at:

http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk

Have had 32 posts in 6 weeks and so far about 2000 hits.

More stuff in the pipeline, more stuff due in the post too! Not sure how long the finances will be able to take it (may have to sell the wife - piecemeal or whole! Any takers?)

Any comments/suggestions gratefully accepted.

Haven't advertised much but have posted quite a bit on my blog.
Seeing as you lot are all responsible for this blasted addiction, I thought I should let you know what you made me do!!!


Nigel (Barcared) led me astray with a great burr puzzle from Mr Puzzle in Australia:

A quick heads up about some really beautiful burr puzzles from the USA (Bill Cutler)

A couple of Hanayama puzzles (relatively easy ones, but still enjoyable)

Yet another Vinco puzzle (I really am addicted to his tremendous workmanship)

I am ploughing on through the complete set of disentanglement puzzles from Livewire! Episode 3 of my suffering is here:

Hope that some of these are useful to you and if you have any suggestions (new puzzles or stylistic changes) then please let me know. If you don't like the style I can't promise not to cry

These blogs are great. I'm new to the world of puzzles and all these pointers and reviews are really helpful. I've already discovered Wil Strijbos ( alu. burrs and cylinder ) and I have some Vinco items on the way. All down to you guys...

So thank you bloggers.

Cheers

You thank us now.....but you'll hate us soon.

You can hate me some more now - started on some Eric Fuller puzzles now. Also a bit of a story to tell about how I got them.

Hi guys,

Reviewed another of the Bill Cutler burr puzzles on the blog if you are interested.
It is the Wausau '84, the second of the series that I own. Very attractive and whilst awkward to take apart initially, it is quite fun to try and reassemble.

Hi Kevin, I enjoyed your review of Wils aluminium cross.

Mine is due next week as I was waiting for some other bits from Wil.
It'll be good to meet you at MPP3
