Andromeda Puzzle

Andromeda puzzle

This one test me to the limit, very tight, tolerances and well-thought-out design

This one tested me to the limit.

Another great design with a very interesting appearance. It is well made. It is definitely a dexterity puzzle to the max. The difficult part is that it naturally wants to NOT go into the configuration you are trying to achieve. You will need to come up with some new assembly techniques. Once you get it together it does hang together, so it can go on display.

Welcome addition to my collection

I have bought at least one of every puzzle from the (growing) Craighill collection. The Andromeda Puzzle sits very well among my other puzzles. The puzzle maintains one of Craighill's core design objectives where simplicity (e.g. reducing the number of distinct parts) combine (assemble) into something complex with a dash of delight and surprise. The Andromeda would not be out of place as a feature on Gaudi's Sagrada Familia - at a different scale, of course :-). Congratulations on another winner! I reckon the sculpted surfaces would look terrific in a (highly reflective) stainless steel version.
