I know my posting of projects here has been rather quiescent the past couple of months. I have been busy in the shop - making Christmas gifts, birthday gifts and YouTube videos (if you can call them that), on top of that, I've been spending many, many hours selling stuff from our now-closed electronics shop on eBay.
Three different "styles" of burr. All three of these actually work the exact same way. They're only cosmetically different. These each have 6 separate pieces that fit together.
The large one is made from 4x4 cut from the tops of the corner posts of the gazebo I'm building in our back yard. It's actually too loose. Rather than discard it, I have this one screwed together and it will possibly reside in the gazebo when it finally get it done.
Here, you can see some of the other variations I've been making. You can also see my "double burr" (double star) variation (The double burr is my own version that I came up with many years ago). The double burr/star consists of 10 separate pieces. The puzzles shown only represent a portion of the quantity I've been churning out. Some will be given away as gifts and some will be for sale. Some, of course, will adore my home as ornamental (and puzzle) objects.
Here's two of the starburst puzzles I've made so far.
