As is explained in some articles in the article's section of this forum, it is possible to make a 2*2*4 puzzle or a 2*2*6 puzzle using a 4*4*4 puzzle. Basically, what is done is that the 4 inside pieces of the (top) layer of a 4*4*4 are rounded to act like a kind of axle.
The disadvantage of the 2*2*6 that is obtained in this way is that the "cubelets" are of unequal dimensions.
Tony Fisher has changed and improved this concept and has created two beautiful new puzzles; a 2*2*6 puzzle and a 4*4*6 puzzle. Both puzzles are fully genuine, fully working puzzles (so no "glued pieces") and have cube-lets that have the same sizes in all 3 perpendicular dimensions.
Details about the internal mechanisms will be revealed in a couple of days. Tony is presently not planning to make more samples.
Below are some pictures,
