    Default Tony

    Hi all, Im from Canberra, Locksmith by trade. Just retired so it's time to set up the shed. I have had access to a fantastic workshop for a long time but that's all gone. Most of the things I love making are off the cuff usually ignoring the tried and true ways. I look forward to asking plenty of questions, here's some of my work.

    The locks all work, Cheers

    Intrigued by the small box with four squares - how does it work, and where can I get plans for it?

    Hi George, they are called Devil's Dice. The object is to align all the symbols correctly on all 6 sides. I have attached the plans, hopefully. Mine are made from, the cubes are Pear, + is Rock Maple, triangle is Purple Heart, Circle is Oak & the square is Blackwood and the box is Purple Heart.
