3D Put Together puzzles can be described as those puzzles which need to be assembled to make a 3D shape but they are not interlocking puzzles. In other words 3d wooden puzzles do not lock together so that they cannot be picked up as a single shape when completed. Box packing puzzles, cube puzzles and other assembly puzzles and also some pattern matching puzzles generally come into this category. In this category you will find Robin Turner's wooden puzzle sculptures. Truly Puzzle Art; they are individually crafted wooden puzzles depicting Australian icons such as Ayer's Rock and the Devil's Marbles.

Can you find which ONE of the 22 shapes CANNOT be made using the same 7 pieces ? Danish poet and writer Piet Hein invented this puzzle in 1936 while attending a lecture on quantum physics. R. Guy at the University of Malaya in Singapore tabulated 240 different solutions for the puzzle.... but this is by no means the final count.
Problem sheet and solutions are especially created by us and are included if you buy the puzzle from this website.

In 1997 Stewart Coffin originally designed Make Room and allocated it #127 in his numbering system although only one of these puzzles was made. At IPP21 in Tokyo in 2001 a larger version of the puzzle #127-A was given by Jerry Slocum as his exchange gift. That version had 14 separate solutions to fit just nine pieces in the box.
Brian had never made a packing puzzle before.... That all changed after IPP21 when he found himself playing with Jerry's exchange puzzle for many, many hours. He then got interested in redesigning the puzzle to include a challenge with a unique solution.The puzzle is made with the kind permission of Stewart Coffin.

Difficulty 5/5 The goal is to make a cube, and the other nine shapes, from the 8 pieces of the puzzle. The shapes are amazingly complex - even for Vinco!
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. Pack three of the four pieces into the base as a tetrahedron (triangular based pyramid). But which three? That's just part of the challenge. There is only ONE solution to this challenge. 3. Fit all four pieces together to make a 4 x 4 unit square based pyramid pile of ball. This challenge is done outside the base. There is only ONE solution to this challenge.
There are just three different pieces loose inside the wooden cage. They do not come out of the cage but the cage does have openings down each of the four vertical sides. The puzzle is to assemble them into a tetrahedron inside the cage.
There are six different pieces loose inside the wooden cage. They do not come out of the cage but the cage does have openings down each of the four vertical sides. The puzzle is to assemble them into a square block inside the cage.
Yes, Vinco believes this is even outside his rating system. Harder than his 5 out of 5 puzzles.
There are twelve very odd shaped pieces which make a cube. Once complete this cube sits on a 45o angle inside the open stand. An incredibly difficult puzzle to get together.
