Pleiades Puzzle

Pleiades Puzzle is a great logical puzzle, consisting out of the Base, twelve Hexagon Discs

and thirteen Dowels (items 13). The Discs should be arranged in that way that every hole on each

Disc is filled with the Dowel. If you want to make this game more difficult, you can add a

restriction and forbid putting two Dowels on each other.

You can use various types of wood to make this project. We recommend purchasing some

wood with a nice, interesting texture like Rosewood, Teak, Oak, Walnut, Chery, Ash etc.

Make all the items following the instructions given in 2D documentation and try to piece the

puzzle together. If some of the items do not fit to its place, rub one thin layer of wood with

sandpaper, until all the items easily fit. Just be careful not to remove too much material during thesanding.The measurements are given in millimeters, and the measurements in inches are given in

brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm).

The easiest way to drill the holes is:

- Look at the picture with the puzzle solutions (above), take the first three Hexagon Discs and put it inthe vise. Drill the first hole trough all three items, as it is shown on the picture and of course by the

exact measurements given in the 2D documentation.

- Take the first Disc out and replace it with the new one. Fasten it again in the vise, look at the picture

with the puzzle solution and drill the hole going through all of these three Discs.

- Take the second Hexagon Disc out and replace it with new one. Fasten these three Discs in the vise,

look again at the picture with the puzzle solution and drill the hole that is going trough all of these

three Discs.
