About
A precision-crafted desk object for people who value tactile problem-solving and timeless materials. The Jack Puzzle from Craighill brings six interlocking bars together in one exact configuration to form a unified jack shape, turning a simple idea into a satisfyingly complex mechanical puzzle.
You get solid brass or stainless steel, each milled to tight tolerances with 1/2 inch diameter pieces and lathe-cut bull-nose ends that feel great in hand. At 3 x 3 x 3 inches and around 1.1 lbs, it doubles as a premium paperweight and a purposeful distraction for focus breaks. Take it apart and you quickly realize the fit and finish aren’t just aesthetic—they’re what make the reassembly both challenging and rewarding.
Design-wise, it hits that sweet spot: minimal, durable, and honest. The material picks up character over time, especially brass, developing a patina that tells its own story on your desk. Whether you’re into mechanical puzzles, EDC, or simply elevating your workspace, this delivers form and function without gimmicks.
