Mr Puzzle reviews the Antikythera tablets
September 26th - via: kickstarter.com
I spent rather a long day yesterday talking to Mr Puzzle while he was reviewing the Antikythera tablets and it was definitely a worthwhile experience. He's filmed all the content and will be posting his video later today for anyone who is interested,... (Read More)
Boxes and FAQ's
September 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
300 Cardboard boxes arrived today, good news for my packing and storage solution. All the assembled tablets are tucked nicely out of the way but I'll still feel better once they're boxed and protected. I also managed to build another 40 tablets... (Read More)
Playing Posty
September 21st - via: kickstarter.com
I quite enjoyed lining up the tablet boxes this evening and setting them out tablet by tablet, certainly made the process go faster and it's quite good to have another batch nearly complete. Tomorrow I'll work on the lid locks, I want to tweak them... (Read More)
Making Progress, final two weeks
September 15th - via: kickstarter.com
So this was my workshop for the weekend, a proper English country garden in the country side. The best thing about these projects is being able to bundle up parcels of work and assemble them elsewhere for complete flexibility. I managed to assemble... (Read More)
Doubling Up
September 10th - via: kickstarter.com
It's been a bit of an odd week for the campaign and production, there's definitely been a slowing of sales but still increasing which is good. Still keen to hear what Mr Puzzle thinks of the puzzle set but no word yet. I've been doubling up in... (Read More)

200 Kg of Wood Sheets
September 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
I went to collect some sheet material from my suppliers today, 200 Kg of Birch and Poplar plywood. This is enough to complete 100 puzzle sets so it should keep me busy for some time. It's also quite the hefty hit on my credit card so I won't be... (Read More)
Two weeks and building well underway
August 31st - via: kickstarter.com
Every time I look at the campaign I see a trickle of new backers and I still find it amazing. Welcome to all the new backers. I held off this update for a day or two because I've been keen to get the first twenty boxes complete but there's been a... (Read More)

August 27th - via: kickstarter.com
We're one week into the campaign and it definitely feels like a crazy week. I can't believe how well the campaign has gone so far, thank you to all my wonderful backers. I spent the last two days making more stacks of 20 puzzles for the earliest... (Read More)
Sisyphi?
August 25th - via: kickstarter.com
The campaign continues with steady progression, a few people dropped out and a few people shuffled their pledges up to the early bird rewards which is very sensible. We're still going in an upwards direction which is good. I tried to make a stack... (Read More)
Public display and Production
August 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Our village had a walking market today, a chance for people to get rid of their bric a brac and sell their craft goods from their own driveways (yay Covid). Obviously I set up some puzzles and made things to order from my workshop but it was... (Read More)

Incredible Start!
August 20th - via: kickstarter.com
