Sandy's Puzzle Collection

I estimate there were about 150 items in the cabinet at the time of these photographs. These are only the ones that don't have cardboard boxes or display cards. I have two rather large boxes in storage filled up with those.

Now that I have a nice system for displaying them, I will probably start the huge job of photographing each and every item in detail. Hopefully it won't take too long. Then I'll photograph each new item as it comes in, and managing the collection will become a LOT easier. I'm getting so many that it's hard to keep track of them all!

The whole cabinet. Four CD towers from Ikea. Glass doors to keep out the dust. The whole thing stands about 7' tall and 3' wide.

Detail: The top four shelves. Daniel Tseng's hand crafted prototype in cell 2. Also, the middle two cells on the bottom row are all Mark Longridge creations... and that Stellated Pyraminx too.

Detail: The middle four shelves. I think six 4x4x4's is enough for now. One of these days, I may actually get around to restickering these into some of the various cuboid simulations. Notice how I carefully arranged the Masterball so you can't tell I have no idea how to solve the final quarter!

Detail: The bottom four shelves. Do the "Cube in Sphere" and "Sphere in Cube" remind you of Spiderman? I wonder if the fact that the movie was big at the time had anything to do with my choice of colours? Too many Star Wars cubes in this photo. What you don't see are the 20 boxes of cereal it took to collect them.
