triangle puzzle
« on: July 16, 2011, 06:54:51 am »
Hey!

I needed some as a give away and cut some triangle puzzles. I made them 4" high, cut from 1/4" European Beech plywood. I made 8 of them and mixed the puzzle parts so the grain should not be a hint.
These are simple and fast to cut, nice little gift.



I also did cut a turtle puzzle animal. cut from 3/4" European Beech.


I will try to double this wood next time to have a 1.5" board and try to cut it with a FD-P#3 (worked fast and easy on the 3/4").

I like the idea of mixing the pieces so you can't use the grain. I have also painted front and back but that is a lot of work.
nice job!

Thanks.

Dan, no, I did not stack cut them. I had a piece of that plywood and the pattern was on before I thought about that *lol*
I also then used a small blade to cut them. It's the first time I use beech plywood, my favorite home depot store has it now regularly in stock and the boards have really great quality. I think I'll use it more often now.

Our little girl Merle (nearly 3) forced me(!!) to make some more puzzles yesterday. She loves to puzzle.

Not just me Dan!

...I was just informed by my "department of toy and puzzle verification", that one of the bears is no bear but a bunny:
