This is an awesome design by Chris, it’s a lot of fun trying to figure out the moves for disassembly and once you do, figuring out the assembly will likely require burrtools.
I really should add that Pelikan’s fine craftsmanship is on full display with this beauty, especially with the added touch of the ‘Dino’ eyeball out of Wenge!
Pelikan crafted this copy from Acacia and Wenge and is #87 of 100.
Kevin Sadler wrote about it:
“There will be 2 versions of the Dino puzzle designed by Christoph Lohe. Chris is one of my favourite puzzle designers – he has a huge knack of creating puzzles that have a real quirky challenge to them. they are just the right difficulty level and are genuinely fun. This one is rather different to his usual – it is a fun cute shape and has less pieces than many of his other challenges. I think it is adorable. The aim, obviously, is to dismantle it and then reassemble and this is definitely possible without using Burrtools. I had to feed back to Jakub that there was a rotational shortcut in the design that left the puzzle as a level 5 disassembly (Jakub hopes that you will not mind this). Personally I think it adds an extra dimension to the puzzle – first solve it with the rotation and then seek out the purely linear solution. The linear solution has a level 20.7.3.3 and one of the moves took me a very long time to find. Reassembly is possible without Burrtools and for the truly gifted amongst you then I suggest that you disassemble with the shortcut and then make the linear reassembly the true challenge. I think that will keep most of you going for a while.”
