I forgot to say I have been making puzzles part time for Bill Cutler for over 20 years and thanks to Bill was able to accumulate a lot of equipment.

Jerry, all I can say is that I am really jealous.
VERY VERY NICE.
I see you also have a really "BIG" lathe there.

The jig in pic #2 is for cutting crown molding for the kitchen cabinets! I really should move my photo setup out of the shop it does get pretty dusty there.

Thanks for clearing that up Jerry! I thought maybe it was for another one of Bill's long since discontinued burr puzzle designs  |

Thanks for posting pics Jerry!
I was lucky enough to visit his shop along with a few other guys back in 2003 during the Chicago IPP. I had only been woodworking for maybe 9 months and it really boggled my mind then. Still does come to think of it! I think that visit is why Lee has been obsessed with CNC stuff for the last few years.

Damn. I thought my laser trumped all, but Jerry's gonna beat me out with that Tormach mill!
I was talking to Trevor Wood at IPP, trying to figure out how you could just quit making stuff like he did. Just up and quit one day. I told him they'd be digging my grave with a backhoe 'cause I'm bringing my tools with me!

Spoke to Trevor Wood through emails a few years back, did he mention why he stopped making puzzles? He mentions in the 'Directory of...' that he lost his workshop  |

Hi Eric, I echo John's question.  Or was it a deep philosophical discussion that cannot be repeated? |
