Couple of puzzles and a wine rack

[James Carpenter]

Just a few things i've done recently. The puzzles were out of a puzzle book and the wine rack was something LOML had seen in a magazine. This is my example made of pine (yuk), now its time to move on to making her her show one:) Thanks for looking.

Very nice Jim, I like the wine rack, it's different.

I like the wine rack. Is it a solid thickness or a shell?

The wine rack was made with my router and a template. I routed out 6 pieces of 3/4 pine and laminated them. Best way i could figure out how to make it. If anyone knows of a better way, let me know (LOML wants me to make a few more). Rough dimensions are 12 x 12 x 4 1/2 with 3 1/4 inch holes.

Nice work, Jim. I particularly like the wine rack. You've reminded me that I'm delinquent. Katherine wants a wine "rack", well, more like a wine storage system. We have several hundred bottles in store-bought redwood racking in the basement, but she wants a nice piece of furniture that houses a temperature and humidity controlled enviroment. A major undertaking, to be sure. Dave.

Nice job James. The wine rack is really cool. I may have to give those a try. Would make great gifts. You did great on the puzzles. I bought that same book not too long ago with intentions of making some for Christmas. Unfortunately, I ran out of time. Maybe for next Christmas.

James,
I agree with the others, all three are beautiful. Can you tell me the title of the puzzle book you used? Thanks in advance.

[James Carpenter]

First, thanks for all the kind comments.
Second, Eric the book is titled "New Wood Puzzle Designs" and it was authored by James W. Follette.

Nice work James. As a coincedence, I just received the Follette book last week. How was the solution to the golf puzzle? For some of these, the author leaves the solution out. There are some other puzzles in this book that look like fun. Good work and I hope to see some more puzzles!
