DDD Burr Set - Darryl Adams - Bryan Turner - Eric Fuller by CubicDissection

This is a very nice set, whenever someone asks about where to start with Burr puzzles I always think they should start with six-piece burrs.  This set definitely fits the bill, with its vast amount of combinations.

Eric really outdone himself with the box portion, I initially thought it was a PuzzleBox as the sliding panel appeared completely hidden!

Here's Eric's description from Cubicdissection:

“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 Eric 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.
