Rocco Chiarro didn’t start making his famous puzzles in brass until he “retired”, after a long and distinguished career as a machinist. All of his ideas start with solutions, and he creates the rest from there. His happiness and goodwill are infectious. In his own words: “Be Good, Have Fun. Always Puzzling, Rocky”.

Rocco Chiarro, best known as “Rocky”, is well known for his home made puzzles of solid brass which he hand mills in his Colorado workshop. His cleverly named interlocking puzzles, take apart bolts, and key puzzles each provide a new and unique challenge.
Things are afoot here at Boxes and Booze, and there’s no time to loaf(er) around. Fresh off the heels of the brass beer stein from Rocky Chiarro comes the next step in this series, surely a shoe-in for a favorite.
