Okay, this isn't actually a flat-frame project, but it is a fun little skill-builder. How well can you make this Devil's Knot? The better you make it - the harder the puzzle is for someone to work out how it comes apart - or fits together...
This is also a fun project to experiment with different finishes, such as wood-stains, wax, oils or varnishes. |
