I find the 'edits' at 0:36 and 2:21 a tad suspicious.

Spoiler
If you could look at the board closely, you'd see that the parts don't fit precisely. The difference is so small that it's hardly noticeable, but large enough to explain the "extra" tiles.
Best wishes,
Hans

Similar in principle to the Missing Square Puzzle - but more convincing because it

minimizes the misfit using ramped cuts through the thickness of the material.

There's a version of this puzzle using a large chocolate slab. That will never work for me as I'll eat the extra piece each time which is something Winston Freer would not have accounted for!!

Does anybody have plans/drawings of the Winston Freer puzzle? I wouldn't mind taking a shot at making one.
