Popular Post mtairymd Posted December 21, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 This is a really easy project to make. The goal is to separate the ring from the puzzle. Can you figure it out from the pictures? Solved Scale up or down based off your ring. 1" Diameter Wood Beads. Drill hole through, counter-bored other side Paracord for rope. I cleaned up the knot so it fit inside the bead. Have you figured it out yet? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtairymd Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I took it into work and most people were able to solve it in less than 10 minutes. A few never got it. The solution is pretty simple once you know the trick :).

Pondhockey Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nice. If you sear the end of the cord, it won't unravel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I didn't show it but it was trimmed, seared and glued into the hole. I've glued a dowel into other versions for a cleaner look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
