I'm surprised pottzy hasn't slashed your tires yet C125... it was this blog that started me off on my puzzle venture... though my latest version is 3 different pieces... (more confusion).
In fact I mass produce this one out of 6mm MDF, creating 72 sets per run, and give them away for free, Xmas is a good outlet, (one set is a oopsie)... took about 52 minutes to laser while I could indulge in some cask-o-vino... the rest will be consumed when making up sets to package... might Grinch it and muck up a few sets...
The major cost and hassle is buying and placing them into small baggies.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
These types of puzzles can be fun or annoying, trying to figure them out. I remember my brother had a round one about the size of a baseball, there must have been about 20 pieces in that. as a kid I never figured it out. And have not seen one since.
Eric my daughter came home with a puzzle line that round one. I could get only part of it back together. This project is what made me buy a scroll saw.
Eric, I just use the ones on my phone. And they only show up on the mobile site. When I get on my desktop, all the emojis turn into question marks or exclamation points.
Here is the one I made. (skinny version) After it was put together I drilled a hole at an angle to put a pin through it. This also adds another step, if the pieces aren't turned the right way the pin won't go back in and the pin keeps it all together while it sits on the shelf.
Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
