July 30, 2010 Thank you for your interest in my work! I'm being overrun with requests for information about pricing and availability of the INTIMIDATOR. Though I've been designing and producing puzzles since 2002, the machining, complexity and amazing fit and feel of this sculpture is far beyond anything I've completed to date. On the prototype, it took me about a year working night and day and weekends to complete it. As might be surmised the machining time for the INTIMIDATOR is onerous but more important and time consuming is the proper fitting of the numerous parts. They must slide smoothly together but not be a sloppy fit. Many parts produced are rejected as unsatisfactory. If the overall fit isn't tight the puzzle may look like the leaning Tower of Piza on your coffee table. If it's too tight it will never unlock. I've had an offer of $30,000 on the prototype INTIMIDATOR but the sculpture is too dear to me to part with................ Unfortunately, any production run on this sculpture would be an overwhelming undertaking and is very unlikely to occur.
Best Regards,
