Quick Wooden Puzzle

Project by Zuki posted 364 days ago 761 views 5 times favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

The other day I saw a posting from another LJ who made one of these from a couple of 2×4. It looked interesting so I did a quick Google and came up the “plans” for this one.

The plans were in metric. I did not bother to convert and switched my brain out of imperial measurements. That was more of a challenge than building the puzzle.

It was fun and quick and made from scrap. This is pretty rough . . . but it works.

I think I have found some Christmas gifts.

Would anyone be interested in a SketchUp model of this burr puzzle? I zipped one up because it looks like a good idea for a gift. I drew it based on 3/4” thick stock but it could be rescaled easily to any size.

I’ll e-mail the SKP file to anyone who wants it.

These are great. i have made a few of these as gifts. I like using contrasting woods for the ones I sell and give as gifts.

Nice work!
