DDD Burr Set (2020)

DESIGNER: DDD Burr Set by Darryl Adams / Bryan Turner / Eric Fuller MATERIAL: Aluminum burr pieces in a Padauk box, or Brass burr pieces in a Leopardwood box RELEASE DATE: 10.1.2020 EDITION: 151 Copies Released SIZE: 2.625" x 2.0625" x 2" This collaboration is one I've been looking forward to for a while. Darryl designed this excellent 12 piece set, with pieces precision machined in either brass or aluminum by Bryan and contained inside a precision-crafted box by Fuller. Darryl describes the burr set below: "In the 1970s, Bill Cutler published a complete summary of the solid 6-piece burrs that could be formed from "notchable" pieces. He presented a set of 42 pieces that would make all 314 solid, notchable puzzles. I wanted a smaller set. One that was easy to make (notchable) and also allows enough interesting puzzles to guide a user through puzzles of increasing difficulty. I call this set "DDD" for "Darryl's Dense Dozen" (or to my kids, "Dad's Dense Dozen). The set is "dense" in that it makes a lot of puzzles: There are 24 solid puzzles There are 530 total puzzles (the additional 506 have empty hidden holes) There are 42 puzzles with only one solution" PDF directions for DDD Burr
