  • Classic puzzle: easy to make, tough to solve! This video will take you through several alternative build techniques to help spice up the more traditional 15-hole triangular golf tee puzzle, also known as Peg Solitaire or as the Cracker Barrel puzzle. Topics covered include woodworking, polymer clay Caning, and puzzle peg crafting in general. A solution is shown at the end.

    I appreciate that the captions were perfect enough that I didn't even notice anything about them until the end. A lot of channels manage to do worse than the automatic captions by making them not exactly match the spoken words in the audio, or having someone who clearly doesn't know the subject matter try to guess what words are, like translating "1080p" to "10ADP", or writing down unimportant things like "[presenter sighs]" and "[sound of box falling over]".

    One possible small change you could make...add small magnets on the bottom under each hole to help hold each nail in place (particularly to help not lose pieces as it gets thrown around). It would have to be close/strong enough to hold, but not too strong that playing the game is difficult.

    As for the ending... Hmm, it's been years but my recollection was that I wanted to get an intermediate step of a 3x3x3 triangle in the bottom left and a lone pin at the top (ie, gap of one to the triangle) and then I could finish. Either I'm remembering wrong, or more likely there is more than one way to solve it.

    Curious how it would look and play if you drilled the holes after you curved the surface, such that the holes are normals to the curved surface.

      "Normals." Ha. Anything but; most people just say perpendicular! But I'm not poking fun. I will admit to be prototyping something related that's a little less, well, _plane._

    Do those marbles have a particular designation, or are they just glass spheres? The only marbles I have ever seen for sale are "cat's eye marbles", some clear glass, some white-ish/milky glass.

    • @pocket83
      @pocket83  3 роки тому +4

      Not to sound sarcastic, but have you actually been looking? Once you start to really look for them, it's a bit strange where you'll find them. My advice is usually to look in discount outlet stores, often around fake flowers (as 'vase filler'), and to not bother looking in the craft stores.
      Dollar stores have nice marbles on occasion. This will sound funny, but I once found a near optical-quality specimen in a $1 mixed-supply bag at the dollar store, so I went back and bought about 20-some bags. Different manufacturers will make sets at different tolerances for their varying customers; as such, discount stores will often end up with spill-over surpluses that were once designated, at least in part, as high-quality product. Some will be super-clear, and others will be extremely spherical. It's literally a mixed bag.
      If you're smiling at me, consider that I know all this from having a marble-sorting machine and some videos about sticking marbles together with enough precision to build geometric forms. I'm not completely off my rocker: it does still feel weird to be _that_ customer.

      @@pocketchange3543 No, I use the angle grinder to _remove_ grooves. I don't own a dressing tool. To be honest, I've never been very comfortable with those. The trick is to not allow the tools to work "against each other," but to have them only tangent at a point, to force them to average out each other's eccentricities. Similar to the way that two stones might be rubbed together to create a flat plane. As I've said, you keep the disk at a steep angle, and very little material is removed.
