Puzzle of a bolt in a piece of wood. Wood anchor
We all strive to surprise our loved ones, neighbors and friends with something like this. We have such a vein, although we try to hide it, it’s not entirely ethical. But the desire to surprise wins. One way or another, we offer you a product, looking at which there is something to think about.
We are talking about an iron object, which can be a nail or bolt, located in a wooden product, with cutouts. Upon examination, the question arises of how a bolt or nail could be inserted there. An entire scientific conference could be organized on this occasion.
Everyone will look at the product with curiosity, checking whether the outer part is glued together, through which, logically, the iron part, nail or bolt should have been inserted. And it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to guess that when boiled in water, wood becomes soft and if you use this, you get such a trick.
To make such a puzzle, take a piece of board and cut four huge spikes into it. Then the outermost spike is dipped in water and boiled for 20 minutes. After this, the tenon is clamped in a vice and compressed. Leave it in this position for a day or two.
After this, the piece of wood is taken out and the hole is twisted from the side of the compressed tenon, which holds its shape. Insert a bolt or nail into the hole, then weld the outermost tenon again and it takes its original shape. Now everyone will be wondering how the bolt got there.

While making another wooden puzzle, I simultaneously try to analyze the purely technological difficulties that arise and find ways and methods of “increasing labor productivity”...
All the experience I have accumulated allows me to safely say: most of the time is spent on adjusting the glued parts - turning with a file or, conversely, gluing pieces of veneer to increase the thickness of any element. The reason for this is the insufficient (to put it mildly) quality initial bars, the cross-section of which, as I have repeatedly noted, should be as close to square as possible. The permissible deviation, it seems to me, should be no more than two tenths of a millimeter.
Not having high-quality “precision” equipment for such sawing of boards, I have to be content with an ordinary old circular saw. Despite the recently installed “modern” saw blade with fine teeth, a number of problems remained - insufficiently high shaft speeds, runouts due to many years of wear (after all, REAL sailing yachts had to be built! And more than one...)
In general, no matter how hard you try, the bars turn out to be very far from ideal. And, even if in a new miter box it is possible to file them into quite acceptable blanks in the sense of perpendicularity and length, a multiple of the modular cube, then after gluing a long and tedious “finishing with a file” is inevitable.
At the same time, I noticed a long time ago: if the original bars turned out to be of quite high quality, it takes very little time to make a puzzle from them. And vice versa.
In this regard, I once made a “world-historical” decision to make a thickness planer out of the manual electric plane in my arsenal. No sooner said than done!
The main constructive idea of my “well and how” is quite obvious - do not let the plane plan more than necessary. To do this, on a flat piece of chipboard of a suitable size, I attached two guide pine blocks, onto the upper edges of which I screwed strips of plastic with self-tapping screws, selecting their total thickness in such a way that, sliding along them, the working plane of the plane was parallel to the base.
I don’t know how it is with other planes (I never looked closely at them), but mine has a special protrusion for planing a corner (as carpenters say - quarters). Therefore, the guide bars had to be made of different sections, and then additionally leveled with strips of polystyrene and whatman paper.
Before starting planing, I measure the smallest thickness of the workpiece with a caliper and calculate the size of the lining (a set of strips of plastic of different thicknesses, as well as cardboard and whatman paper). The guides do not allow the plane to fall below a certain height, while in several passes they mercilessly cut off everything that is above it, which, in fact, is what is required...
Already the first full cycle of tests (from the blank to the finished product) showed the full viability of my idea! The time spent on making the next puzzle has decreased HUGELY! And it is right!
Also in this “production and technological block” I present a number of improvements to my miter box.
First of all, I installed on the left side a wide stop platform made of a piece of laminated plywood, on which a piece of aluminum profile is attached to secure the workpiece being cut as tightly as possible. On the right side I redesigned the limiting device. Now this is a bracket fastened with an M8 bolt, in which a long bolt rotates, also M8 with a locking nut. The bolt is inserted into plastic nozzles of various lengths, into which the wooden workpiece rests.
I cut off the block, measured the length with a caliper, tightened the screw half a turn if necessary, secured the nut, and off we went. With a song!
In order not to frequently rebuild the stop, I usually cut parts for several puzzles at once, first selecting them to fit blanks of the same section.
I glue the parts together on a flat surface using homemade polystyrene square jigs.
Homemade wooden puzzle "Quartet 8L2".
This is a double puzzle: from four identical parts you need to assemble either one “thickened” frame or a kind of chain of two links. Wooden.
This puzzle is one of my students' favorites at my children's art school. By the way, the task of assembling one thick frame has a very beautiful solution with central symmetry! You need to arrange all four parts in relation to each other in a special way and then simply move them to the center at the same time...
The idea for this puzzle was inspired by a similar puzzle “Pyramid of Balls”, attached to issue 9 of the magazine “Entertaining Puzzles” published by DeAgostini. This puzzle is described in our project.
In addition, I, intending to make a certain amount of so-called. rope puzzles, not so long ago I quite successfully bought all sorts of different wooden “tricks” - rings, balls, etc.
All that was left to do was to sit down with the Autodesk 3d Max three-dimensional modeling program and develop our own original version of the pyramid parts. The efforts were crowned with quite a worthy result, which was even reflected on the website puzzlewillbeplayed.com.
My puzzle (unlike the one mentioned by DeAgostinevskaya) has only one solution, which is confidently confirmed by the program.
Experience has shown that of all the variety of puzzles I have made over the course of a year and a half, children most like the “miniatures”, in which three or four pieces require assembling a 3x3x3 cube. A short break is just enough to quickly figure out one or two of these problems. As a rule, I advise children to do this in pairs - first, everyone sorts out their own puzzle, and then they change. Very comfortably.
In this regard (and at numerous requests from students), in a very short time I made several similar puzzles at once, which are always popular with my students. All of them are approximately the same in complexity of both production and solution. I highly recommend it to everyone. whoever reads these lines, make these puzzles, so to speak, for the home, for the family. In addition to the development of volumetric-spatial thinking of your children and loved ones, the problem of how to entertain guests while dumplings are being cooked on the stove will disappear (pizza is baking in the oven, vodka is cooling in the freezer - underline what is necessary)...
I deliberately do not provide solutions to these puzzles here, so as not to deprive you of the pleasure of finding it yourself. For reference: the average record for our art for the most complex of them is 20-30 seconds. Are you weak?!
Homemade wooden puzzle "Three Easy Pieces".
As the name suggests, the puzzle consists of three parts, which the author claims are simple. Regarding “simple” ones, by the way, I would, for example, argue with him...
Homemade wooden puzzle "Corner Lock".
In addition to the three intricately shaped pieces, this puzzle comes with another modular cube that, when the puzzle is assembled, clamps quite tightly onto the edge of the 3x3x3 cube. For decoration, you can paint it a different color.
Homemade wooden puzzle "Neat Cakes".
Unlike the previous two, this puzzle is not a knot puzzle, but a packing puzzle. That is, it is advisable to make a box for its storage. To avoid losing cakes (“Neat Cakes” means “neat cakes”)
Homemade wooden puzzle "Baby Cube".
And now anyone can visit the personal website of Leonid Mochalov, where a large number of original developments of this inventor are presented. Some of his works were discussed on the project PhotoDreamStudio .
Below is a description of the puzzle "Baby Cube" by Leonid Mochalov.
Homemade wooden puzzle "Tom's Little Box".
In this puzzle, the author, despite the minimum of funds, even managed to implement multi-pass! It is clear that level 2.3 is not so prohibitive, but it can confuse another unlucky person who likes to “take everything in a hurry.” Don't palucizza!!!
Our project featured the "Stand Up Cube" puzzle, which I called a real gem of my collection of wooden puzzles.
From the moment it passed through my hands, I couldn’t help but want to create something similar myself. But I still don't understand how you can design a puzzle taking gravity into account?! The BurrTools program does not provide such an opportunity. At least my knowledge of this program (or rather, in English) do not allow you to think differently...
I had to resort to the old grandfather's method - a working life-size model. I sawed with a small supply of blocks of length 1, 2 and 3 modules and began searching for a stable shape from the resulting parts. To temporarily fasten the elements together, I first tried to use double-sided tape, but then switched to “Moment” glue - it holds perfectly, and can be easily torn off if necessary.
As a stable form, after some thought, I decided to take a cross. And there is no need to look for any analogies here!!!
The main design was carried out in the Autodesk 3D Max program, and stability testing, as I said, was done on a real layout.
Of course, it is enough to imagine the stable figure of the cross in the form of a set of some complex elements, is not a difficult task if you also use the BurrTolls program to help. But to ensure that the details were as simple as possible (similar, for example, to the elements of the “Hein Cubes”), and also that the required figure was assembled in many ways, but there was only one stable option - this is where we had to work hard!
However, after some physical and mental effort, the goal was achieved!
But the most interesting was yet to come!
Having analyzed (now without any jokes) the elements of my brainchild in the BurrTools program, to my great joy and surprise I discovered that from these ten different parts, with a total volume of 48 cubes, it is possible, in addition to a stable cross, to add up a large number of different figures, including a 4x4x3 block, which is perfect for packaging!
This is how my most interesting author’s puzzle at that time, “48 cubes,” was born!
Many of the figures I have come up with have only one solution, but even, for example, putting them in a box, despite the presence of more than 20 thousand options, is a very, very difficult matter. In addition to the "Cross", I discovered several more "stable" figures. That is, this puzzle game can be safely used as a children's construction set!
Watch a video of step-by-step assembly of the Standing Cross puzzle:
Below are drawings of some figures that can be put together from the parts of my author's puzzle "48 cubes" with an indication of the number of possible options.
A separate series of tasks is assembling parallelepipeds. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the assembly of some boxes does not require the entire set of ten parts!
The puzzle game "48 cubes" is fully packaging, so a box is needed to store it. From my own AUTHOR’S experience, I know that putting all the parts back into the box sometimes takes a lot of time, and somehow I still can’t get around to remembering even one of the 23 thousand possible solutions. Therefore, I am publishing a diagram for placing ten pieces of the “48 cubes” puzzle into a box.
Looking ahead, I’ll say: somehow it happened that in Lately gradually I began to make mainly my own, original puzzles. And it pleases! The process has begun!
In the next issues I will introduce visitors to the project PhotoDreamStudio with several of my own, dare I say it, truly cool, original and COMPLEX puzzles! See you!
Lately, I have begun to SERIOUSLY think about making my own puzzles not only for myself (my beloved), but also for sale (for money). I intend to make the main moves in this direction in the spring, but now I’m ready, in principle, to start making some things to order. So write [email protected] !
As they say, if we agree on price and terms, I’ll do it and send it.

Are anchor bolts suitable for wood? How to properly anchor a massive product - a lantern, chandelier or hanging bed - to a wooden beam or wall? What other ways can wooden structures be connected? Let's figure it out.
Types of anchors
The word “anker” itself is borrowed from the German language and literally means “anchor”. Anchors are used for.
The following types of these fasteners can be distinguished:
| Type | Short description |
| Spacers | Friction is used to hold it at the base. To maximize it, the fastener inserted into the hole expands. For this purpose, a wedge stop with a thread inside, a plastic dowel, etc. are used. |
| Persistent | Fixation is ensured by embedding the expanded or ribbed part of the fastener into the base. This is exactly how foundation anchors are designed, used to install massive equipment on a reinforced concrete foundation. |
| Adhesive | Adhesion to the base is ensured by supplying an adhesive composition (usually a mixture of synthetic resin with a hardener) into the gap between the walls of the hole and the ribbed rod of the fastener. |
| Bolt Molly | This type of anchor is used for attaching attachments to hollow partitions with low mechanical strength (gypsum fiber board, gypsum board, chipboard, hollow brick). When the bolt is tightened, it pushes the outer shell to the sides, forming a stop with a large area of contact with the partition |
Useful: adhesive anchors can often be found under another name - chemical.
Now let's try to analyze which type of anchor is suitable for which:
- The Molly bolt requires a significant area of voids inside the structure. As a result, it can only be used for hanging relatively light products on thin partitions made of boards, lining or chipboard;
You always want to do something that will be incomprehensible to others. Simply put, it’s a trick that you can rack your brains over and how it’s done remains a secret. The following craft, which you can make yourself, belongs to precisely such puzzles.
To do this, take a wooden board, approximately 200 x 70 x 30, and make two or three cuts in it to make 3 or 4 tenons, protrusions 40 mm high. Something like a comb with several teeth. After this, immerse the outermost spike in hot water and cook it for 20 minutes.
During the cooking process, the wood is filled with water and becomes elastic, so it can be compressed, but with great effort. We take the workpiece and insert the boiled tenon into the vice. I squeeze the tenon, which becomes shorter, and leave it in a vice for a day or two.
After this, we take the workpiece out of the vice and drill a hole in it from the side of the crushed tenon. Insert the bolt. We boil the outermost spike again in water, where it is restored to its original appearance.
The finished craft can be polished and varnished, so many will take it in their hands and be surprised to solve the riddle of how the bolt got into the middle?
