EGG HEADS
Construct an interlocking puzzle with 30 identical pieces.
As a retirement present for Joe Malkevitch, a geometer friend who likes puzzles, I designed and built this 1’-diameter Egg Heads puzzle from ¼" walnut.
Many of my sculpture and puzzle designs require laser-cutting or other computer-guided fabrication technology to accurately produce intricate parts. But this design is simple enough that you can make the parts yourself with ordinary shop tools such as a band saw and belt sander.
