A finite set of generators for the isotopy classes of selfhomeomorphisms of closed surfaces was given by Lickorish in three papers [2; 3; 4]. In [5] the group of isotopy classes for a particular, well-known cube with holes was presented. There the structure was “tight” enough to allow the computation of the relators as well as the generators. In this paper we give a finite set of generators for the group of isotopy classes of self-homeomorphisms on the solid double torus, the cube with two handles. Let us remark that the group of isotopy classes for the solid torus is well-known.
