Nice Job!!!! Very Creative!!!

-- Oldworld, Fair Oaks, Ca

Nice. I don’t have the patience.

This is a nice project but I am like rikkor in that I don’t have the patience. I generally let my 4 year old grandsons show me how to handle puzzles like this. They seem to be able to assemble and disassemble them without any problem.

Thanks for the post.

Man that is a lot of small parts that have to be milled just right. Nice job!

That is great! Just amazing.

Is that micrometer still in the drawer?? Don’t you get that thing out!!!

Nice work! You did one elephant job! I’ll bet it tusk some patience! Keep on trunkin’ !

I love it and here in Thiailand this toy carries even more signiifcance as the elephant is somewhat revered and it is not unusual to see them strolling down the road looking for handouts (assuming elephants can stroll).

This would be a great idea as a gift for the children of my local friends. Any help getting the pattern for this toy would be greatly appreciated.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

great project – after studying it a bit, it looks like a bit of a challenge to assemble. Impressive!

Very nice project!

This is cool! I have to do one for my grandson, are they hard to make? How long to make one?
I think you should make one 6 feet long and put it on your lawn as an ad and sell them.

6 feet long??? The pieces would be 6 3/4” sq. I’d have to use a chainsaw. Wait a minute! I HAVE a chainsaw! Hmmmmm….

-- There is nothing in the world more dangerous, than a woodworker who knows how to read a micrometer...

thank you very much for the link,it was really nice meeting you and if you ever need a hand with an project don’t hesitate to drop me a line. a six foot puzzlephant might be a good project.

Can you point me in the direction of the book where you got those plans? I’ve got nephews and god-children that need to be driven to distraction as an act of retribution.

pretty cool!

I too am interested in getting my hands on these plans to make for my children.

I’m another person looking for the name of the book. This is my perfect excuse for dado and time in the shop – toys for kids. Six foot might be too hard to fit in the house, wonder about 3 foot?

Very cool puzzle

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Very nice puzzle…that type of puzzle is traditionally called ‘Kumiki’, excellent work on that one!
Here’s a link to an excellent book by fellow puzzlemaker Allan Boardman, featuring a couple of examples of ‘Kumiki’ style puzzles, one is a ‘Pegasus’ and the other is a ‘dog’, very good book on making puzzles and I highly recommend it :-)
