Wooden puzzle training exercise

[Halo Jones]

Does anyone have a link to the wooden puzzle that the likes of Waters and Acland use as training exercises for new students. I am wanting to improve my hand tool skills and fancy giving this a go.

Thanks,

H.

That is a nice looking site.

This was kind of thing I was thinking about:

I remember a really old joiner friend showing me the same puzzle he made as an apprentice in 1945 so really wanted to try it.

I have made one of these and have a sheet with the plans hand drawn on, I will try and find it.

This is what it makes.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. If I pull it off it will also make good stocking fillers for the kids!

This is about the simplest, to make, 6 piece burr I ahve come across. I have one hiding from me somewhere.
