You can create your own puzzles or maybe a copy of existing puzzles.

Very interesting, I am just busy making some puzzles from wood blocks, they would look very nice in metal.

If you get in touch with the seller, they will send them to the UK at the same postage as the US.
I bought a couple of sets of the fight cube and they are fun but for more complicated interlocking puzzles the tolerances are a little to tight.
Don't let this put you off, they make some great puzzles that work very well.

Ali,
They look interesting. I am thinking of getting a couple of sets to help in my puzzle designing. When you say tolerances are a little too tight, does it mean that force has to be used to slide the pieces or is it that they just don't slide that smoothly.

Hi Jerry,
Each cube is identical and therefore when built up, it leaves no tolerance between sliding parts. it is possible but they will pivot on the points that have been connected.
If I get chance, I will try and make a basic puzzle that works well to show you.
I did make a board burr but it was very tight to slide certain pieces.

Ok here is a quick download from Puzzle will be played.
It's tight but it's workable. A great design and worthy of manufacture in some nice woods!
The design is Cube Trap No.2 by William Hu.

What about import tax etc? Does it work out to much with this kind of stuff?

I did not get hit for import duty on this lot, so I can't say?
