            This is my completed Petaminx based on Andrew Cormier's design.  It is entirely custom built and contains almost 1000 moving parts.

This puzzle will be sold in an EBay auction starting March 12th.

You can see how it was built with photos of the process here:

This project took place over two months, including:

20 hours on masters and molds.
12 hours casting parts.
30 hours cleaning up parts and sanding (!!)
7 hours assembling all 1000 parts
6 hours stickering.
