What Makes It Uncommon

Iron Enigma

If your problem-solving prowess causes jigsaws, gyroscopes, and multi-colored cubes to lose their mystique, you're ready for the Wise Guy and Smarty Pants. Blacksmith Dennis Sucilsky's intermediate- and difficult-level mind-benders are inspired by centuries-old designs with avid puzzlers like you in mind. To maintain that untarnished brainteaser taming rep, you'll have to remove an iron ring held captive within a shifting fortress of a dozen unforgiving steel shapes. No brute force or trickery is needed here; only patience, wits, and plenty of out-of-the-box thinking. Whether it takes you minutes, hours, or even years to solve, both disentanglement pieces are a mechanical obsession you'll love to loathe. Handmade and individually assembled in East Setauket, NY.

New York

Port Washington, New York, native Dennis Sucilsky began his ironworking career as a blacksmith apprentice at Old Bethpage Village Restoration museum. Specializing in 18th- and 19th century architectural hardware, Dennis' puzzle creations evolved from reproductions of hand-forged artifacts. Since 1980, Dennis and his wife and boss, Donna (he builds, she sells), have introduced the world to more than three dozen designs, gaining a following of devoted collectors and fans who, each year, eagerly await a new mind-bender.
