An essay about the British laser-cutter Puzzly Company (UK) and a review based on three puzzles made by that company. First of two parts. (about 5800 words; 39 photos)
Thanks, Bill. It's nice to see your latest posting/essay. There's no need to apologize, though, for taking some time off since the last posting. My very best wishes to you re: recuperating from the eye surgery. My favourite of the three puzzle you feature today is "Flowers in a Vase," at least based on the look of its picture. I can appreciate that "Mediterranean Summer" had enjoyable complexity. For all three of these featured puzzles, I'm glad you gave us so many photos showing the progressive stages of assembly. The flipped/mirrored photos were fun for me, too, and I was pleased that I could find where the "removed" pieces fit into the views of the puzzles' fronts. I also get a kick out of the fact that you seem to develop such friendly relations with some of the makers of the puzzles you review. Thanks again for your work and thorough reporting.
