You peaked my interest for sure!

Update! Working in the garage this weekend. I am hoping to finish three different obscured mazes in Maple Burl, Walnut Burl, and Cherry Burl for an upcoming project! I am excited! Should look awesome as a viewable maze / labyrinth.

This maze can be played many different ways. Notice there are two steal bearings inside.

1. Traditional both bearings need to make it from one end to the next.

2. Each ball must make it to either end to completed the game.

3.Each ball must make it to either end, but if a ball makes it to the wrong end then you loose.

4. Each ball must make it to either end, but if they touch while in route the you loose.

Very interesting.

I'm curious about the processes, methods and tools you use.

How 'bout a maze build thread?

 

[mja979]

I am putting together a kickstarter, but just as soon as I get that done I will post the build here as well. Thank you for your interest.

Build link and Review

This is a preview to my kicstarter, but most important it is a my build thread.

If I leave you with more questions than answers...

Ask away.

Great looking mazes. Thanks for posting. I would like to see a little more detail regarding the sequencing of the cuts and the drilling. Thanks

Did you take a look at the link?

If so let me know and I will try to make it more clear.

Thanks, I checked out the link.

Did you use a stop block on your router fence or mark start/stop points on it?

I'm also interested in your design process.

How do you determine the path layout?

 

[mja979]

I mostly ruff sketch my maze patterns, but they often get altered as I go.

I just start drawing my patterns.

I have used a stop block in the past, but find it more cumbersome.

The future I would like to use a pantograph.

Yes I did look at the links but I guess I am missing it. Not sure as to the particular cuts you made on each side of the cube. Also it stated you used a drill press but not sure where you drilled. Thanks again for posting

 

[mja979]

I see I will have to add a picture. I used the drill press to drill into the interior in four place after I used my router.

I used the router with the fence fixed to cut all paths near the edges and then made an adjustment to make the center cuts.


In this picture you are able to see to hole drilled by my press.

The other holes connect to the two picture.

Recently completed hidden mazes. shipping them out soon, but I wanted to share.

 

[mja979]

If you had the chance to choose the wood for one of my mazes what would you choose?

 

[mja979]

We are live! yeah! Wish me luck.
