    Default kids puzzle

    made this in a couple of hours the other week hoping it would make the rugrats sit down and shut up for a few minutes. they did the silence was unreal, but then trhe fighting started cos they couldn't rebuild it.
    its made from scrap jarrah with ash for the water spray.
    the dimensions and idea came from an old uk woodworkers magazine, cant remember which one though. it consists of 6 pieces

    Cool, Mick! It's a lot more interesting looking than most other puzzles!

    Cheers,

    Neat puzzle, is it hard for kids to put together or was it just a case of too many of them trying to do it at once?

    Hehe: I love the angrily defiant smile on the whale's face, and the curly detail in the tail.

    I count 9 pieces, including the spray. Would also appreciate a plan or disassembled pic.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Mick,
    Thanks for the plans. Greenie sent.

    Much easier if you send out once per day. To ensure address privacy, put all e-mail addresses in the Bcc field separated by a semi-colon.
