Not being disrespectful Snake, as most of us has experienced, anyone can cut a piece of wood, dowel to fit, a circle, drill a hole, laminate sticks and maybe even scroll a gear or two, however, it's the design and the accurate cohesiveness of the individual parts to create an overall model that has me in awe.

I dabble in puzzles, but most all the time it's usually other peoples ideas I tend to plagiarise... or at least reverse engineer...

Thanks for the insight.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
