Does anybody have a source for puzzle plans? I've seen several unique puzzles people have machined and thought what a great gift they would make. As I am the worlds slowest machinist I had better start now for Christmas.

Plungerhead

#d or 2.5D/ There are some of each available through the scroll saw sites. Here's a few to get you looking:

You didn't say Lathe or Router -- so I assumed the easiest or what I have -- router. For some Lathe items -- there are few posted here on the CNCZone -- machinist's cube(?) as I recall. I'm still looking for the interlocking blocks too. Maybe on one of the sites I've bookmarked - but haven't got to yet.
BTW welcome aboard - if no one has welcomed you yet ;) what about Halloween for practice?
