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 give away the plans for free?
There are some people who would like to make puzzle boxes, but don’t know how to work out the sliding panels, and can’t find any plans.
If you’re good enough to make and sell some of my puzzles, you deserve the cash, but it’s certainly not a money-making business.
Now it’s time for cocoa and bed.
IF YOU OWN A
Ferm, Berlan, Brunel, Titan, or Perform
Scrollsaw, then you could use this:

What tools do you need to make these puzzles?
A tenon or mitre saw: a drill: small hammer and small chisels: a file and sandpaper:
wood glue: small clamps: stain, varnish, paint or lacquer, and a paint brush. That’s
really all you need.
