Cogas by Garrett Mathias at Mojo

 


I don’t collect metal puzzles although when I have acquired them occasionally in the past they always impress me and this one is particularly amazing!


It has a tactile feel and the solve is very cool and ingenious!


Here’s the description from Garrett:


“The Cogas Puzzle is a machined puzzle made of brass and aluminum(plus a few other metal components). Measuring almost 3 inches tall and almost 1.5 inches in diameter.


The Inspiration:


I wanted to create a puzzle that could potentially be useful. In other words, a puzzle that you can put things in. In this case it would be small things. When I started designing this puzzle I wanted it to resemble a medicine bottle to pay homage to one of the greatest accidental puzzles of all time.


Box Top & Bottom are Padauk with Holly Slipfeathers and Oak Sleeve
