One of my favorite pass times is puzzle
solving. Math and mechanical puzzles are my most loved. Below is my collection of
Mechanical Puzzles that I have found to be the most fun and mind challenging.
Puzzles offer something for all ! The young are taught problem solving techniques,
motor and mechanical skills. Us older guys need to keep our brains working and
in tune. In addition to brain stimulation, us older guys need to keep
the joints moving to vend away arthritis and such.
But all that aside these puzzles are a lot of fun and will drive your friends
nuts when they come over to visit, as you toss one of these at them and challenge
them to take it apart! Oh yes, each of these puzzles are actually two
puzzles. One puzzle to take apart and the second challenge, (generally the
hardest) to put it back together.

HAND CRAFTED ITEMS
Hex Signs and
other Hand Crafted Items,
colors may appear different as they do on your
monitor and may change slightly
piece to piece.
On occasion
the silk screen artist may alter the patterns and
colors. Since hand crafted items are not made with automated machinery, slight
imperfections are to be expected. The hex
signs are cut from 48" wide Double Tempered Sign Board and to
allow for a saw cut that would yield more pieces per sheet the
signs are more or less the diameter stated. This keeps the cost
down for the consumer. The 8", 12", 16" and 24" are a nominal sizes
and may vary from the size stated + or - 1/4" to 1/2" on the Diameter.
