Oliver String Puzzle

Here's my take on the classic Oliver String Puzzle, built from a mix of scrap wood, an old ring repurposed from a previous project, and some purchased wood beads and rope. Build Instructions can be found at https://www.instructables.com/id/Oliver-String-Puzzle/. I've included STL files for those who'd like to print their own version. If neither of these options work for you, you can purchase a similar puzzle from Amazon: http://amzn.to/2B1Rkni. The objective is to release the ring from its enclosed position. My kids and wife found it quite challenging, so I'd rate this puzzle's skill level at 3 out of 5. If you're still stuck after looking at the pictures, check out the accompanying video for a solution.
