Handmade

If you hold the white shaft up to the sunlight after you've got it opened you can make out the number. Hold it up towards the sun and try and look through the shaft

Well I just ordered mine! I can't help but feel a little wierd spending that much money on a puzzle. Even tough it'll be an awesome puzzle!

I ordered mine yesterday (and thought I posted it yesterday too...)...
#9 hopefully to match my red and black LEs...

I wish I could say that this was the most I've spent on a puzzle, but it isn't even in the ballpark

You are terrible, terrible people. Handmade and Orange have been ordered (I requested #10).

Really? Care to expand or is that a tale for another time? I think this is the most I've spent on any one puzzle (no pressure Chris! ) but not the most I've spent on puzzles in one go (if that makes sense).

You are terrible, terrible people...

You love it really. Anyway, blame Chris, not us

well, I'm one of two solvers of a very expensive puzzle by GarE Maxton... The Mini-Conundrum-X2

but due to the high cost of metals my puzzle has appreciated by 66% from what I paid for it... So it was a decent investment...

and I have a couple high-end puzzles by Kagen Schaefer and Lee Krasnow that have some scary $$$ as well...

^ what exactly are they?

[smiteo]

http://www.kagenschaefer.com 83-move waterfall box (and a few more)
http://www.pacificpuzzleworks.com binary burr (and others)

[Gdamatov77]

the burr seems simple, but it seems as if the waterfall is the same concept as the burr

[smiteo]

the binary burr isn't that difficult - it is more a matter of crafstmanship...
the waterfall box is a puzzlebox that takes 83 moves to open. It is quite challenging. Both are handmade and are works of art.

I'm sure Chris' handmade will be a work of art in its own right!
