Here are some puzzles I've made over the past year or so.

My first mod was made from an Eastsheen 2x2x2 kit. The design was for a white cylinder with 4 separate coloured spirals. I couldn't achieve that. No extra materials were needed as I made the diagonal covers using the plastic I had cut off. The finish was decidedly amateurish, but the movement was unaffected.

The stickers on this Skewb mod were made from one and a half Eastsheen 2x2x2 sticker sets. Opposite edges are the same colour.

While experimenting with two-colour sticker variations on a Skewb I came up with this puzzle I called the Battenberg. It has a few nice parity problems and looks quite confusing when scrambled. Details

With the House Skewb I experimented with Inkscape vector graphics, printable vinyl and adhesive photo paper. This first one had printable vinyl (vinyl with a delicate added printable layer) and was sprayed with satin clear acrylic varnish to protect it. After a few weeks the stickers were peeling. Subsequent ones used adhesive photo paper overpainted with superglue and sprayed with acrylic satin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Details

Next I set myself a tough challenge - a Square Antiprism Skewb. This remains unique due to the hours of intense effort involved - it's made with 1.5mm ABS Sheet. Details

The two white centres gives parity to the puzzle.

My next puzzle used moulding and casting - the Skewb Cylinder. This is quite weighty. Parity can occur if the diagonal colours aren't in the correct sequence. This puzzle looks a bit rough but turns very nicely. Details

A simple bandage - three edge pieces carefully glued together and the joins filled with Milliput.
If you look carefully you can see the top join on the blue side. When I assembled the puzzle this join had broken, but not where I had glued it. The manufacturer's blanking plate had come unstuck and I was too hasty with the repair!

This is a Rubenking stickered cube. I made this because having bought a mini Rubenking on eBay I was very disappointed with the twisting movement.

I restickered a Rubik's standard 3x3x3 but not before realising that my mini eBay cube was stickered incorrectly - ie some edge pieces were the same colour-wise.

Next I tried that popular mod - a Fisher Cube.
This build was a mix of cutting and filling a Rubik's Cube down to an octagonal barrel and using the offcuts to make the new corners. Details

Next I wanted to do a core related mod and what better start than a Slim Tower. Made to the nechronius (YouTube tutorial) recipe. The core and outer pieces were done well but assembly phase of this puzzle was rushed with this mediocre result. Still I learned a lot in one go. Details.

With a spare 2x2x2 24mm ES cube I made this simple Octagonal Gem, which I have called Pinkki. Details


I have a couple of other builds in mind including another Slim Tower.
