I am awful at packing puzzles and try not to collect them anymore but all it takes is a beautiful wood and I'm hooked again. As you see from my August 3rd 2014 post I just bought a gorgeous version of the ODD puzzle and I'm off again!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-32879080858421838632014-08-06T03:48:08.089+01:002014-08-06T03:48:08.089+01:00I just started getting into these and picked up th...I just started getting into these and picked up the Red Wood Packing Problem (by Winshare purchased through Brilliantpuzzles) The idea that an external block of red painted wood would fit inside a box filled to the brim with 8 other blocks was so intriguing. How satisfying it was to solve it in about an hour.... 3/5 on Winshare's scale, but at least I've gotten my start.Tim - Fox Point, Wisconsinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-57158462777482203882012-03-24T21:06:39.551+00:002012-03-24T21:06:39.551+00:00Hi John,

The standard version has all the pieces made from the same wood type and the Dowel as well. It has 3 aims - Firstly to insert all the blocks into the box, secondly the aim is to insert all the blocks into the box with the dowel in the box (almost impossible!!!) and finally to get them all in with the dowel locking the box (as when it arrived).<br /><br />As far as the Boston Tea chest is concerned, I have drooled over it but as the Craftsman version is sold out, I have never actually thought of buying it.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-36459990779373962162012-03-24T19:13:58.402+00:002012-03-24T19:13:58.402+00:00Do you know if the standard version includes the b...Do you know if the standard version includes the brass rod?
