This is my third puzzle of the day. As the name suggests, it's a barrel, and it's bizarre

The cuts are the same as on a junior barrel, but they are duplicated at an angle of... about 30° I think ^^

It's hard to explain the puzzle itself so you'll just have to see for yourself

I will not be selling this puzzle unless requested otherwise. The reason for this decision is because it doesn't turn so well. The problem with it is that those pointy triangular pieces tend to sink, which provokes a bit of interference in the turning of the puzzle, also making the puzzle a bit squishy

Don't get me wrong, though, it's very playable, and in fact... quite hard to solve

If I do end up selling it due to a request from someone, I will give it a low price (100 or lower $) because I didn't plan on putting a lot of markup anyways on this one

Enjoy (if you still can:lol: )

EDIT: the video is not a good file either, i'll post a new one tomorrow

, woah, that's an weird and a cool puzzle.

Ah, so this is the bizarre barrel. It looks very nice! (I would sell it if I were you, someone might want to buy it)

Very cool puzzle! I've been wanting to see a Split style puzzle with more splits. Very cool.

@Portal1920: If someone PM's me and wants to buy one, I will fix a price and post it here.

@Luke: so how does it feel to see the first puzzle i've hidden from you ?

Thank you for the pics.

Nice puzzle! The reason for the sinking is because at the places where 4 pieces meet at one point, there are fillets that remove material from all 4 points. I'm not sure if this is avoidable in this puzzle, but I ran into the same problem on the puzzle that I will be posting sometime this weekend.

Well done, in any event.

That is correct for forced sinking, but there is also unforced sinkings on my prototype probably because it's a tolerance misprint.

Thanks Jhahoua

Indeed. Very bizarre.
And thank your for editing your images.

I uploaded the video ! Enjoy
