Yikes! Thanks for pointing this out Neil. They look beautiful!

Everyone knows I can't resist a mini puzzle. :D

It certainly was impressive to see that little burr that you printed, but 3D printing doesn't replace the craftsmanship of a hand made object. It does raise questions though about the value of a craftsman. If you can print an object for less than a master craftsman can make it, how do craftsmen survive?

Seems like the story of the record store all over again. I'm not convinced that progress is always progress. </rant> ;)

Thejuggler,

What puzzle is that in your profile picture? Is it mini? Looks purdy.

Andrew, it's my first ever prototype of a puzzle of my own design, made in lego. The early series of posts to my blog show the creation...

Juggler,

That's very cool! Why move to wood when you have a great looking Lego puzzle? Are you hoping to sell these some day?
