Puzzles by Maker > Vinco - complex wooden puzzles from Czech Republic

We first met Václav Obšívac (Vinco to his friends or Vin & Co) at the International Puzzle Party.  Seen here with a very large puzzle he made, he says that even knowing the solution, and with many friends helping out, it took three hours to put together.

	Dual Tetrahedron 5 interlocking coordinated motion puzzle	QTY:
	The puzzle is to take the four pieces of the puzzle apart and then put them back together again.   The shape is two tetrahedrons that have been joined together with the edges and vertexes truncated although recognising the original shape is very difficult in the end result.  This, and the very precise fit and pattern, just makes fitting the pieces back together even harder;  that is assuming you can even get it apart. The stocks of these new coordinated motion puzzles are very limited and we do not know if Vinco will be making more of these particular puzzles in the future.

	Tetrahedron 2 interlocking coordinated motion puzzle	QTY:
	The puzzle is to take the four pieces of the rounded tetrahedron puzzle apart and then put them back together again which is even harder to do.   The checkered pattern and precise fit of the puzzle make determining which facets to grip to take the puzzle apart quite a challenge. The stocks of these new coordinated motion puzzles are very limited and we do not know if Vinco will be making more of these particular puzzles in the future.

	Flowers 5 interlocking coordinated motion puzzle	QTY:
	The puzzle is to take the four pieces of the puzzle apart and then put them back together again.     Two different coloured woods shaped into an octahedron with a small curved pyramid appended to each side precisely machined to form a beautiful flower shape.  An now you have to find where the four pieces start and finish so you can take it apart. Quite a challenge. The stocks of these new coordinated motion puzzles are very limited and we do not know if Vinco will be making more of these particular puzzles in the future.

	Dual Tetrahedron 12 interlocking coordinated motion puzzle	QTY:
	The puzzle is to take the four pieces of the puzzle apart and then put them back together again which is even harder to do.   The shape is like two tetrahedrons with rounded edges that have been joined together.   The uniform patterning of the different woods and precise fit of the puzzle make fitting the pieces back together even harder than taking the puzzle apart. The stocks of these new coordinated motion puzzles are very limited and we do not know if Vinco will be making more of these particular puzzles in the future.

	Cube After Party interlocking coordinated motion puzzle	QTY:
	The puzzle is to take the four pieces of the puzzle apart; putting them back together will be even harder to do.   The shape is symmetrical in length of it’s diagonal axis but there are two different sized sides.   You end up with this shape that looks a bit like an out of square cube.  A Crazy Cube! A Cube after it’s been to a party! The stocks of these new coordinated motion puzzles are very limited and we do not know if Vinco will be making more of these particular puzzles in the future.

	Octahedron interlocking puzzle	QTY: Outside Finish 2. Sharp edged 1. ---Not Available--- 3. ---Not Available---
	The challenge is take the four piece puzzle apart.  If you manage that then putting it back together into the interlocking Octahedron is even harder. Each puzzle has the same 4 complex pieces but the outside finish of the puzzle varies.  Puzzles are finished as either 1. Smooth edged mixed colours 2. Sharp edged  3. Smooth edged single colours.   Please choose the exact puzzle you want from the list when you order.

	Four piece platonic solid wooden puzzle	QTY: Outside Shape 2. Icosahedron (20 triangular faces 3. Triacontahedron (30 faces) 4. Truncocta (14 faces) 1. ---Not Available---
	The challenge is take the four piece puzzle apart.  If you manage that then putting it back together is even harder. Each puzzle has the same 4 complex pieces but the outside configuration of the puzzle varies.  This makes each puzzle quite different when finding the facets to grip to open the puzzle.  Puzzles are finished as either 1. Dodecahedron (12 faces),  2. Icosahedron (20 triangular faces), a 3. Triacontahedron (30 faces) or 4. Truncated Octahedron (Truncocta - 6 square and 8 truncated triangular faces).  Please choose the exact puzzle you want from the list when you order.

	Difficulty 4/5 There are three challenges to this puzzle.  1. Pack all four pieces into the base as a cube shape.  There are three solutions to this challenge. 2.
