re: Back in the "Wood Shop," Puzzled and Swinging

Thanks, guys!

I’ve got one swing built and the frame done on the second. Need to finish cutting the seat and back slats, then glue and screw.

I’m currently working on a pallet wood tree. We saw one at a craft show yesterday, and liked the idea, but not how straight it was. I’ve done it to suit me, and the Mrs. really likes it.

I’m trying to remember how to do a dowel and cube puzzle. I did one back in the ’80’s, but lost it and the instructions. 3" cube, with 12 holes drilled through it. The first hole is drilled, then a dowel inserted. The second hole is drilled, after turning to a new side, cutting through the first dowel.

Second dowel is inserted, locking the first, then the cube is rotated to a the non-drilled side. Third hole is drilled, cutting through the second dowel. A third dowel is inserted, locking the second dowel.

So on and so on.

Oh well, I’ll figure it out.

I’ll post pics later.
