Brainjacking

Jigsaw junkies be warned: This isn’t your daddy’s tranquil lighthouse jigsaw. Self-taught New Orleans artist Scott Frederickson carves these beguiling beauties into stainless steel to tolerances of .004 of an inch with the help of a powerful laser. There"s no picture to guide you, and Frederickson’s skill with computer-aided design (CAD) all but guarantees a result that will test the limits of your sanity. (Fortunately, the puzzles come equipped with a solution map.) The super-sleek puzzles come in five levels of difficulty—from credit card-sized mini-puzzles to 10-pound mammoths that arrive with their own custom carrying cases.
