Hi Chris. Theanks for posting that - I'm going to make one for my cousin for Chrimbo, it'll drive him wild I'm sure. Is that a 'Hexacut' hacksaw you're using there? Looks like one I had a while back that I picked up on my travels but it was quite well worn and I ended up getting frustrated with it and bashed it up for scrap :D |

Hi Pete, it is a Kennedy power hacksaw. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=3570.0 I`ve been told that the top rail can wear but believe that a good solution it to replace the steel hex bar with slightly over size brass hex bar. As I can see, the oversize hex will take up the slack generated by the wearing away of the top rail and being brass, should slow down further wear. I guess it is irrelevant now as you`ve binned it! I`ve had mine only a few months and it gets used most visits to the shop! Please post some pics of your puzzle when complete. I`d go with the second version, it is amazing. I gave my mother-in-law the original puzzle and she solved it within a few hours. The second puzzle took her over a few days worth of sessions to crack! Chris |

Yep, that's what I had. It was pretty badly worn and I probably would have persevered with it if it wasn't for finding a fully working clarke bandsaw on a demo site and carting that home. I'll post up pics of my puzzle when it's done for sure! |

Hi Chris, that's quite a work that puzzle, and I think if we were closer together I'd have to borrow some of that brass bar stock, that is a lucky find indeed :jaw: I've not quite got to start the first puzzle, and the second addition is so intriguing I'm just going to have to bypass the first and get straight on to the second one. I think in a keychain size it would be perfect for a gift, particularly for family, as they aren't allowed to curse you, at least not publicly. That is quite an easy addition, yet so much a greater challenge. I think the brass one will be the ticket, once it gets the full polish job. :headbang: :beer: mad jack |

Chris, This is probably a stupid question, but I need the answer! On your drawing, the elevation of the lid piece shows a dimension of 1 mm. I cant work out what it relates to? :scratch: Ian |
