PATIENCE PUZZLE
It’s refreshing to pick up a hunk of metal that doesn’t come with a screen, batteries, or embedded processors. But it’s not always relaxing. In fact, these puzzles can be incredibly challenging as you try to solve these hands-on brainteasers. Oftentimes the solution is multi-step and requires perseverance, but satisfaction is sweet when you finally figure out the trick.
The creator is blacksmith Dennis Sucilsky, who was researching 18th and 19th century architectural hardware (his specialty) when he came across hand-forged artifacts made by blacksmiths to entertain folks at the local taverns. He started making some of the antique designs, as well as creating his own original designs. All of these puzzles are handcrafted and individually assembled in the USA.
The puzzles vary in complexity, ranging from the relatively straightforward to the incredibly complex, 43-step Patience Puzzle. None of the puzzles requires brute force, just a precise manipulation of the pieces. Solution included - but that would be cheating!
