re: For LBD

That was very impressive Dutchy... however the challenge not accepted... I am 73 years old... 74 on the 14th April next year (hint, hint)... I don't have 20 years left to build one.
Initial reaction... bugga it, I'll give it a try...  started with enthusiasm,

but gave up after 128 pieces.... missed by 1!

Then I thought, been there done that,

and my log wasn't big enough to store 129 pieces,

Just look at that amateur,

he had 126 pieces left over and I used 6 pieces... 3 more.  

Actually, some of my 3 piece puzzles would take as long to make.... and twice as long to solve/assemble.

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