Some of our grandkids have been spending time with us this summer. The oldest grandson is 11 and has shown some interest in hanging out with me in the shop. So why not put him to work. He has been happy to learn about sharpening chisels and to help build a box to hold a puzzle I made for him.

With the top removed four pieces are visible making a square.

There is a fifth piece hidden below to make a different square.

Hope he doesn't get in too much trouble or try to make any money with this.
For anyone interested in duplicating this square puzzle the large square is 4-1/2" square. The small square is 1/3 of that or 1-1/2" square. Okay, let us not get into the mathmatical discusion of how it is 1/9 of the full square. The pieces were all cut from one piece.
This was all made out of wood from the firewood pile. One thing I didn't notice until taking the pictures is there are a couple of faces visible above the inclusion in the wood. One is visible when the picture is small and another appears when the image is large. If you look longer you may see a few more.
Mike, my grandson, likes this and is proud of his work helping to make it.
