Dowel Puzzle

youmagine

There are eight dowel segments that you need to fit into a box with precision. You should be able to get seven pieces in with minimal effort. What about the last piece, though?\n\nThis straightforward project was crafted from reclaimed wood at a low cost and took approximately an hour to complete. STL files are available for those who want to print their own version. I put the puzzle to the test on my two teenage children and both gave up after five minutes of intense focus, so I would say it's moderately challenging.\n\nTesa Timonen of Sweden is credited with creating this logic puzzle back in 2002. I recreated this version from online images that I reverse-engineered.\n\nAmazon offers a similar version: http://amzn.to/2hL9gHH\n\nFor more information, visit: https://www.instructables.com/id/Wood-Dowel-Puzzle/\nVideo Solution:
