Grasshopper Puzzle
« on: December 28, 2012, 10:22:29 am »
My Grandson Joey lost his pet grasshopper last summer so he asked me to make him a grasshopper puzzle
for Christmas. After a few tries I finally got it to stand upright instead of tilting on its head. Anyone is free to copy this design for their own use but I request that it not be offered for sale as it is a Pickens Puzzles original. I used 3/4" canarywood.
