I thought the spanner was a recreation of Kirill Grebnev's design and the Burrs recreations of Philippe Dubois' Burr and Peter Marineau Piston Burr designs?

I don't even think Wil is aware of all the metal puzzles he's designed over the years. But I can pretty much guarantee that there's going to be a few that most of us have never seen or heard about. :?

Because Andy asked only about the metal puzzles- and also the 4 piece puzzle is (correct me if wrong) a variation of an existing puzzle..

Yes. There is one called the "Ball/Pin/Ball" which Wil was working on producing, according to a Newsletter from last year.

There was a revolving maze from 1982 ( similar to a certain Popplock ? )

Cheers Joe.

Do you know if the Apple was one of Wil's designs?

Also can anyone who has opened their EGG let me know if its likely to spit out any little parts once opened? - I am going camping for my birthday but don't want to bring it along if there is a chance I will be hunting around a field for a ball bearing! :)
