    Default Burr puzzle...

    Hi

    My name is jimmy.. im the new guy
    I usually work with metal to make my toys.. never got the hang of woodwork :/

    But! Many of you have.
    And i was thinking to myself when i was playing with this odd little toy that one of your fellow norwegian woodworkers have made.. i need help with this...
    i cannot figure it out.. its supposed to be a cube of sorts. but its a pile of wood pieces on my table.. how can that be? I need to make it cube'ish again but i cant

    I guess i dont need to explain to much about the toy itself.. if you know the solution to it you know more than me..

    here is a pic of the pieces..

    Hi Jimmy, welcome to the forum. That looks pretty complicated to me but there may be someone on the forum who is familiar with that puzzle. Must admit, I have never seen that one before. Good luck with it.

    That's a tough question to answer. Maybe you can create one like it here Burr puzzles - Calculate your own burr and go from there.

    @everyone
    Thank you all for your help. it is very kind of you all

    You might find some assistance over at the woodgears.ca site. There's also a link to a program for generating burr puzzles.
