I received a SOMA cube puzzle as a child in the 70's. I still have it along with the original manual. There are 1,105,920 combinations of assembling the seven pieces to make a cube. Quite a scientific puzzle with some real history if you dig a bit. Nice video.
I have only heard about the SOMA puzzle recently and I am fascinated by it now. Thanks for tuning in to the show David and for chiming in with your story. I love it.
Now this is a bit Puzzling ha ha ha i couldn't resist. Great little fun build Kenny i love it and especially at this time of year as well, like you said it can be any size you want as long as it's a cube. Thanks for the video and idea. Barry (ENG)
Kenny, the scraps keep getting smaller and the projects keep getting better. I love this puzzle!!! I thought for sure you were going to have use wait until Alternative Tuesday for the solution, thanks for including it in this video. Thanks for the great video.
You're very welcome Paul. I love scrap projects (as you already know) and they are a ton of fun as well. Glad that you enjoyed the show. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in.
I made this puzzle on the weekend with a buddy. Was alot of fun and easy to do. First time we did a project from your videos and looking to do alot more as you have so many to choose from. Thanks for all your hard work.
Glad that you liked it Dana and that you were able to make a successful project. I hope you enjoy some of the other projects on the show. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comment. (and for following me on Facebook too)
Nice work! I just made one of these puzzles but with a different layout. The only problem is that I made it from a picture that I found and have no idea how to solve it. Now I don't know if I built it correctly or just can't solve it 😂 I also used CA glue with some quick activator, it worked really well but you need to be careful not to glue it to your square as well.
Well I hope that it's just a matter of not being able to figure it out right now and not that you made it incorrectly. Making it incorrectly would make it the worlds HARDEST cube puzzle. LOL. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to chime in with your comments.
There are several ways that you could make them Herbert. You can cut them on a mitre saw. You can cut them on a table saw using a sled. You can cut them with a scroll saw. A safer method would be on a band saw but the safest method of all would be using a hand saw and a mitre box. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I made a puzzle in shop class back in Jr High (when it was still called that) in 7th or 8th grade. I still have it and everyone has trouble putting it together. :)
Well good luck with getting them away from the video games. I hope you have fun with the build and that they enjoy the puzzles. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I was hoping to see you string them together because the one my grandson had broke and I was trying to fix it maybe you can make one for the situation in another video if you do know of a video available for that now perhaps you can pass it on? ☺️
Do a search on UA-cam Annabella for "Making a snake cube puzzle". You will find some videos there of how these are made and hopefully you will be able to restring your grandson's puzzle. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's appreciated.
ANNNND(swipe..smash) there you have it...... Man Tetris in 3'd???..I can't even play the dang thing it two!!!!lol Cool build though. Fast and easy. Side note; Have you ever tried gluing two parts together, sliding them together a few times, then separating them for a few seconds, and reattaching them. It honestly seems to make the glue tack up a lot better. Take care.
That sounds great Brett. I'd be interested to see that puzzle. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave a comment. I truly appreciate it.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Just sayin the history of this puzzle originates as the Soma cube. People that like the puzzle can find a lot of info about other things that can be done with these pieces.

Nice one Kenny! I’m sure my grand daughter will want to have a go at making this and so do I. Great puzzle so thank you once again!
Very ambitious girl. Good for her. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show.
Thanks for sharing Kenny, perfect stocking filler for Christmas.
You're very welcome Raymond. It definitely is perfect for that sort of thing. Thanks for tuning in to the show sir.

I think I could do this with the dollar tree wood pieces, I've been looking for this video and I'm so happy to watch it
Glad that you liked it. Good luck with your project and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Dollar Tree cubes are too many different sizes. For a little bigger investment, try the cubes from Home Depot. Bigger and better.
Now I have something to make with my 120 blocks I bought. Good idea.
Glad I could help you with finding a use for your blocks Mary. Thanks for tuning in to the show and good luck on your project.
Love it my grandson will to you are amazing once again

@@acutabove_woodworkings lol, I managed to solve it!
@@heyimamaker Glad to hear you didn't mess it up. LOL
I’m a beginner. How did you make the little cubes?

That's the sign of a quality made puzzle. That's awesome. Thanks for tuning in.
Super 🤩

Did you have that setting on an air cleaner lid
I was thinking the same thing!🤣🛫
It's actually sitting on the filter of my dust collection so I guess, in a way, yes. LOL. Good eye. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Very cool puzzle
Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in.
Can you make a wooden beyblade please# 😢😢😊😊☺️☺️👍👍👌👌💐💐🎂🎂
Another neat build, I may knock out a few for the grand kids, and get them away from the videos games.

I've never tried that method Dale. I may have to give that one a whirl and see how I like it. Thanks for the tip and for tuning in.
I made a puzzle cube similar to this but some of my pieces are different designs
And with only 5 pieces
That sounds great Brett. I'd be interested to see that puzzle. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave a comment. I truly appreciate it.
If I can get an email to send it to, I can take a picture of it
