I love to find new puzzles and games to recreate. They are fun to build and fun to play with.
They make awesome gifts and would be easy to sell.
Puzzles can vary in skill level but for the most part, require basic woodworking tools.
This has to be one of my favorite things to look at. I love how Walnut has so much character.
This puzzle is actually very simple to make.
Starting off I took some stock that had a number of ugly checks and cracks down the length. After processing the wood I marked my first piece to get an estimate for now long each piece would be.
Well, it was a cold day in the shop, sitting around -10c. I wanted to build a Burr puzzle that I had come across in a store and thought it would be a fun project to recreate using some scrap walnut.
I saw an old puzzle called “Original IQ puzzle” and figured it was simple enough that I could also build one. I bought some…
