This puzzle is an absolute beast to assemble and I’m not ashamed to admit that I had to enlist the help of Tom at CubicDissection for assembly instructions! I’ve had Pelikan’s version of Ray’s Double Slideways Cube and Ball but those tend to be somewhat easier as their final shape tend to be more recognizable.
Eric crafted this puzzle from some choice Canarywood making for a gorgeous puzzle once assembled!
Here's Eric's description from Cubicdissection:
“Double Slideways is a brilliant design and I'm glad we found time to make it again! This is a re-release of Ray's excellent exchange puzzle we last produced in 2014. The exchange edition was in a smaller format and fully notched for production efficiency. This remake is in a larger size and features augmented construction with a triangular stock insert. As a result, there is less void space once assembled, giving this edition smoother operation and more stability in the solved state.
We used a very premium Canarywood I have been saving for a special project. This wood was mostly a colorful and highly figured yellow, with a very few special copies featuring red streaks or sapwood edges.
79 total copies are available for this release, each signed and dated. 73 copies in Premium Canarywood, 3 copies in Red Canarywood, and 3 copies in Canary Sapwood.”
