A spirited journey through the world of collectible artisan puzzles
Pairing craft cocktails with crafty puzzles
Hip Hip Hooray
There’s always cause for celebration when Janichi “Juno” Yananose announces a new puzzle box or sequential discovery design.
The Cat’s Meow
Cats are full of personality, so naturally any decent cat puzzle ought to be as well.
Sequential Discovery Cubed Box
It’s adventure time again as we head to the outback and visit with the brilliant Junichi Yananose from Australia. Juno is well known for his complex and unusual interlocking puzzle designs which come in many styles, shapes and sizes.
Sequential Discovery Board Burr Box
This particular “six piece” board burr, which is actually nothing of the sort, is handsomely crafted from American Rock Maple and Utile “plywood”.
Slammed Car
Slammed Car, designed by Junichi Yananose (Juno) and produced by his puzzle company Pluredro (Juno and his wife Yukari) in Queensland Australia, is their latest and greatest sequential discovery puzzle, and one of the best new puzzles in the world.
Chubby Crocodile
When it comes right down to it, who really cares what the difference is between a crocodile and an alligator. I wouldn’t want to meet either one hiding in the water.
Spade Case
It’s time for a little detective work. I suppose discovering the secrets of a puzzle box is actually nothing like solving a real mystery, but it’s a nice analogy at any rate.
Heart Case
The idea for this puzzle was in Juno’s mind for more than twenty years, fully formed, but was far too difficult and time consuming to produce even as a prototype.
