Mechanical Puzzles

Recently I have begun to make wood, wire and string puzzles. I am just getting started but have ideas for quite a few puzzles. I don't expect to make them for sale, but they might make conversation topics for visitors or maybe even grandchildren one day.

Here are some photos of the puzzles I have made so far. Click on the image to see a larger photo.
