Welcome to Homemade Puzzles.
My name is Bruce Viney and I live in Washington, in North-East England.
I like to make puzzles of my own design, and sometimes other puzzles.
Why do I charge for some of the plans?
A lot of the plans are still free, and as simpler designs come along,
they’ll be free also.
The plans for the Oriental-type puzzle boxes take longer to get into a readable form that can be understood easily, than the time it takes
for me to actually make that puzzle and get it working.
A lot of people have said they can’t understand why those plans
were free also, and that I should be charging for them.
Considering the work that goes into preparing a plan, I feel that
a small charge is fair.
The wood you use in making that puzzle would
probably cost more than the plan itself.

because wood isn’t the thickness it claims to be.
