The problem was learning to make them. It was mainly trial and error, as it is an unknown art in this country. Developing the techniques took years, but now with 29 years of experience, I have mastered creating the puzzle ring. I live not far from my shop in Berkeley, so commuting is no problem. I have been making the rings at this location since 1984.
Visitors are welcome, but is best to call first.
I'm away a lot on weekends as I sell at many shows which are far away. The best time to reach me is during the week Monday through Thursday. Mastering the puzzle ring assembly is challenging, but the instructions I have posted on this site make learning much easier than it has ever been. And once you know the trick, it is easy to do. Owning a puzzle ring is lots of fun.
