3d Puzzle Design Brief
Duffey Example
Expectations:
Must fit on 7-3/8” x 7-3/8” x ⅛” board .
Must have 5-9 pieces.
Utilize KISS principle.
You need to design a 3d puzzle with interlocking pieces. It can be any shape that you want as long as it is school appropriate.
Why 7-⅜” x 7-⅜” x ⅛”
#1 - The board we buy is 5’x5’x1/8”
#2 - First I take the board to the Table saw and rip it to boards that are 7-⅜”
#3 - Why 7-⅜” Because then I will use the whole board and get even pieces.
(I had to calculate given the number of cuts I was going to make and the fact that the blade is ⅛” thick.)
#4 - I then take the boards to a chop saw and cut them to 7-⅜”.
The result is that I used all the material and did not waste any of it.
By cutting it this way I am able to make 64 even squares.

Brainstorm
Hand draw sketches of what you might make.
Pre-Refinement - Video Tutorial
Draw your design to scale (7-⅜” x 7-⅜”), so that you can import and trace it. This will help make sure that all pieces will fit on the board.

What is a Board Foot,
And why does it cost $.79 for this Birch?
This board cost $19.75
If we were to cut the board into 1’ pieces, then we would get 25 squares.
If we take the cost ($19.75), and divide it by the number of squares (25) we get $.79 per square.
19.75/25=.79
Therefore we can say that the cost is $.79 per board foot.
Shorthand is $.79 BFT
Also, 1 bft = 12”x12” = 144in2
