Just thought I'd start this thread so we can discuss the wonderful puzzles made by Brian Young at Mr Puzzle Australia. I now have 16 of their puzzles and each one of them is a gem! I can't recommend highly enough the quality and the challenge of some of them. Sue Young is always really quick to respond to e-mails and the shipping is quick and well packaged.
I received 3 great puzzles today:
Opening bat (#40 of 50)
SEARious Burr
The Collective (in Jarrah wood)
This adds to my existing puzzles of:
Make room
Pandoras Box
Saturn Ring
Condor's Peeper
Coming of Age Mk II
Mega 6 Burr
Mount Fuji
Houdini's Torture Cell
Tricky Dick
Boston Tea Chest
Burrliner Kruse
P & L Packing Puzzle
Decemburr
A lot of these have been reviewed in various puzzle blogs, especially in Allard's excellent Puzzling Times blog.
Anyway off to find the next part of my cricket bat to open!

Re: Mr Puzzle - Australia
Hey Nigel, I also have the collective and at first I didn't know if I was that keen but I really do like it. I didn't order Jarrah but it arrived in Jarrah and I'm pleased it did. It's a very nice wood and far better than the photos. One more I would recommend is Comming of age...... Love it!

I honestly think that no collection should be without a copy of Houdini's Torture Cell.
