I really enjoy the small nick-nacks that I have strewn across my desk. I’m always fidgeting with them, and it just makes sitting at my desk a little more enjoyable. Sure, they’re distracting and definitely contribute to my procrastination, but hey… they’re fun! I wanted to build 3 small wooden puzzles to add to the collection, and they turned out great! All three of the puzzles are excellent to challenge your friends with, to give away as gifts, or to sell at craft fairs!

DISCLAIMER: The following video shows the solutions to the three puzzles that I made in this build video. Only watch the solutions video if you want to spoil the challenge of figuring out the puzzles on your own.

The humor in these videos is top-notch. And those projects are a step above as well Drew nice work buddy

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! I appreciate that! :)

[@tlynch918]

So cool to see two of my favorite makers hanging together on the interwebz.

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

@@tlynch918 I concur 100%

[@brokenbranchwoodshop1873]

My wife edits for my channel and loves to put my bloopers at the end as well. 🤣. Loved the first one!

[@lawrencelunsford6028]

I learn and laugh at each one of your videos. Your son's reaction was priceless. My son is 24 and he doesn't like to sand either! :) Thank you Drew. :)

[@FishersShop]

Thanks a bunch! :)

[@StephenTimperley]

My favorite part of the first one is that you HAVE to solve it before you can put it up. So if you give it to someone as a gift without giving them the solution, and they can't figure it out, it'll just stay there on their desk in pieces, nagging at them forever as an endless symbol of your love. ❤️

[@FishersShop]

Haha, yup!

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Fisher, thank goodness your back. We were getting worried. 👍👍 The zebra wood is my fav too. Thanks for the upload.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@williamellis8993]

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@bobd.]

I have been jonesing for a new video from Drew. Always enjoy watching, learning, and laughing as you go through a build. Entertaining and informative as always. Some of the best content on YT for sure.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@wandiwoodworks]

We enjoy watching your videos. The puzzles look great.

[@FishersShop]

T hanks!

[@BruceAUlrich]

I love these little puzzles! I think the little star ones are my favorite.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, man! Those little guys definitely required the most work!

[@thegrumpyoldwoodworker8157]

My dear old Dad used to make these sort of puzzles without power tools. Thank you for this video, brings back the memories of better days.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@darrendecore8577]

Love the puzzles and the jokes. Nicely done.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks!

[@bigraymie]

You crack me up Drew.... great video mate (y)

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@DIYBuilds]

Nice work. Pretty sure walnut coins are already worth more than a loonie.

[@FishersShop]

Haha! Thanks for watching, Brad

[@rodpotts2666]

I can squeeze one more out! That made me laugh out loud.

[@FishersShop]

Hehehe, me too. Couldn't stop snickering as I was editing that in.

[@kori_snw]

"Crap! Crap! Crappity crapsticks!" Hahaha! Someone needs to teach you some new curse words, like 'Dagnabbit', Or 'William Shatner'... Love the puzzles, had some like them when I was a kid. Brings back great memories, thank you!

[@FishersShop]

You're welcome. Glad you liked it

[@wolfwoodworkingcreations4321]

I am so going to make the ring and walnut coins puzzle. Then give them to my little cousins, sit back with a beer, and watch them struggle trying to figure it out. I'm a horrible cousin but at least I'm entertained. oh and nice work as always.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Stephen!

[@WoodenLegWoodworking]

Great idea with the walnut coins! Way to be prepared!!

[@russelljohnson4527]

nice work in post-production!

[@FishersShop]

Much appreciated!

The commentary alone was worth it. Thanks for the upload!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

That could be my desk, love this!

[@FishersShop]

You didn't pilfer your lumber from the neighbor? Why? Best prices ever at that particular store!

[@bonnierobbins4230]

Sweet!!!

Thanks for watching!

[@moezeddinkarimeddiny8876]

[@FishersShop]

[@10FingersWoodworking]

Very good. Love the puzzles. I always look forward to your videos. You always have great little gems that help out, such as marking out your slots in the second puzzle. Add in the humor…. Thanks.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them!

[@JustinShaedo]

I just had one of those days in the shed; seeing your out-takes from a real pro, helps me get back the energy to try again. Respect. Thank you.

[@FishersShop]

You bet! Thanks for watching

[@timmills2259]

Another great video Drew. Thanks for keeping us laughing!

Glue is already delicious!

[@yinn2yang]

I love your humor and your projects. I look forward to your videos!

[@FishersShop]

Thank you so much!

[@andthen7767]

I haven't laughed this much at any other woodworking video, Thank you so much! I must say that you are truly talented in what you are designing, the jigs, the puzzles and it's all Awesome and it's just fantastic to see how much you enjoy whilst making them all. Thanks so much for sharing this, I will definitely never forget this video in my entire life.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TomMaster]

Two videos in a day!!!

[@therelaxingwoodshop7495]

Yes another video 👍👍👍

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

There are some woodworkers here on KZbin that make some pretty cool stuff but you my friend, are an artist. The cool thing though is that every one of your projects is attainable. I have a handful of channels that I always watch and this is one of them.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@mcmathwoodworks]

Awesome video Drew! The puzzles are beautifully done! And I appreciate that you throw in some comedy in your videos!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them!

[@rustyshackleford5269]

When you said your son left you, I felt that one. My son does the exact same!

[@daveb8598]

love your videos! Thank you so much for useful tips and also all the laughs!

[@FishersShop]

You bet! Thanks, Dave

[@waynesullivant]

I like the idea of the walnut coins!

[@drewachong]

Great little projects, and the humor you put in these always makes me laugh! Gotta love squeezing one more out 6:25!

[@FishersShop]

Hehe, thanks!

[@glencrandall7051]

I like them all. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@FishersShop]

Thank you! You too!

[@patrickodonoghue1169]

Awesome

[@FishersShop]

Thanks

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Drew! Nicely done! 😃 I'm definitely going to make some of those! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@FishersShop]

Thanks a bunch! Have fun making them

[@benwhitley515]

Fantastic as always. Glad to see these come together after seeing bits on Instagram!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Ben!

[@andyrobinson6052]

Commented on one of your other videos. Forgot to mention that I love the outakes which help show that we all make similar mistakes - nbothing ever goes 100% smoothly. I really like your content and delivery a lot.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks for that!

[@guybowers9094]

Again I always enjoy watching your videos and what great little projects those puzzles are. I'm glad you you the outtakes as they must make my day. Thank you good sir

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching

[@Saw-IT]

Thumbs up star puzzle Drew - love it. And that crazy walking trick, I am def going to steal that one. Maybe have my son pull me with a piece of string.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Matthew

[@jamiegienapp8694]

Drew, your projects are always so well thought out and great, even when you make bloopers. Your humor is absolutely seamless. It cracks me up when you let a deadpan joke go and I'm on a five second delay like, "What did he just say?" I had to pause the video when you made the joke about your head being in the way because I was laughing too hard to hear the video. This is my legitimately my favorite KZbin channel.

[@FishersShop]

Haha, thanks Jamie! :)

[@SawdustmakerLori]

Another awesome video and I'm sure these would be great gifts or conversation pieces to have around! I'll have to try the "great tasting glue" with table salt. I always thought it needed some seasoning so glad I know the secret now!

[@FishersShop]

Hehe, thanks Lori

[@steve_wa]

Love the watch the video and your skill level from Western Australia. You are a good woodworker. Surprised to here you have Australian Jara, blunts the tools quick.

[@FishersShop]

Yeah, I forget where I got it but It's not bad to work with, I like it.

[@lad60606]

Navy Pier Chicago t-shirt with no bullet holes. It’s a collector’s item.

[@tropicof]

Crapitty Crap Sticks is my new favorite not so bad swear!!! Love the videos and your humor. Keep up the good work!

[@FishersShop]

Haha, thanks!

[@DarksouIjah]

Awesome gifts...and CRAPPITY CRAP STICKS!!!

[@sammisworkshops3762]

shop buddy #1 looks just like you LOL, love the videos and the humor. thanks Drew!

[@FishersShop]

You bet, thanks!

[@helenablignaut662]

"...it makes the glue delicious" 🤣🤣🤣

[@FishersShop]

😁

[@Mark_Wood]

So awesome

[@AlienLeader4]

Awesome video. I really do like how you put your videos together with the talk over explanations. If these plans are available I will have to grab them. These are awesome little projects and I love puzzles. Keep up the great work Sir.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them!

[@scottparvin7747]

I'm not convinced that this is a genuine Fisher's Shop video. You didn't "borrow" any lumber from you neighbor. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

[@FishersShop]

First time for everything

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Beautiful puzzles!

[@FishersShop]

Thank you 🤗

[@johnh5008]

Top marks for the awesome stop motion photography at around 12:00.

[@FishersShop]

Haha, I was experimenting and it turned out kinda neat

[@clymerscarport961]

Another great video! Thanks Drew!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SGee1967]

I like the diagonal burr puzzle the most

[@hansdegroot8549]

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you very much!

[@dennisdickson6210]

Great job..cool stuff👍

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@chuckbell2949]

Fun,fun,fun, 😊

[@willwitner121]

I feel like that’s all of us using a compass. That had me rolling! Great video as always.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐 These are really, really cool! I have not seen these little puzzles before. I will have to get the details so that I can mess up a few before getting it right for some nice gifts. Thanks for the idea and thanks for the video. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them!

[@eatman6511]

Absolutely beautiful work, good sir. Thank you again for a wonderful video. God bless you and keep you.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you kindly

[@fredrickbaker5262]

Bro, very creative! great video.

[@FishersShop]

Appreciate it!

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Very nice puzzles. I like the tiger wood.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you 🤗

[@inclinedesigns]

that last puzzle, you could probably use old Lincoln logs no longer being used. :)

[@brokenleadwoodworks]

Great video Drew! Even threw in some stop motion. Excellent puzzles!

[@FishersShop]

Thank you 🤗

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Your videos are so worth the wait!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them!

[@matthewclina4162]

These are all great. I need to grab a set of plans for next winter. Thanks for another highly entertaining video. I loved the part where you clay-mated yourself.

[@FishersShop]

Haha, that was mainly just an experiment to see how it would look.

[@davidsavage2650]

Love it. Lots of fun. Could go for a Vol. 2 with other puzzles in the future if your up for it.

[@cdqa68]

I worked with a guy that would bring these type of puzzles in and we'd all try to solve them. I didn't do to bad but if you brought one in for him to solve it'd be done in the blink of an eye. Of course I do them in front of my 6 year old son and he is amazed that I get them done so fast. Great video as always!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@hermansugiharto7543]

I like this job,puzzle and your equipment/tools😍😘👍

[@Welagedara]

Its nice creation , useful item for everyone👍👍👍

[@keithlamb324]

Nicely done, love the bloopers at the end Drew!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bnelson313braveheart8]

I just found your channel! Cool!!

[@FishersShop]

Welcome!!

[@blaugrana-jw3dd]

You're casually funny which actually makes you funny... great work btw

[@FishersShop]

Thanks

[@warrenvannuil8401]

i liked the last one the best

[@DCgamer723]

That time when the jig takes longer to build than the puzzle, haha

[@FishersShop]

Exactly!

[@GeorgeT.G.]

super effort

[@FishersShop]

Thanks a lot

[@BMVLifestyle]

I recommend the harbor freight mini lathe to start out. It was a really great and fun tool for me.

[@FixitFingers]

I most appreciate you learned how to pronounce Jarrah like a true Aussie :D 🤣👏

[@FishersShop]

I just said it five times out loud the wrong way to infuriate you.

[@b3ardedbarbarian]

I'll be getting the plans for sure

[@FishersShop]

Awesome! Have fun with the build!

[@BrenoLuna]

10:22 I don't recall seeing the use of Robertson screws in this channel. What gives? That's a great example of Canadian ingenuity.

[@carlb0666]

Lol, he’s your boy alright!

[@JamieStuff]

Your "puzzle cube" is a Soma cube. We had a plastic one back in the '70s. I'm tempted to make one where each piece is made out of individual cubes of different woods. It would be easier to sand the individual cubes, and if the edges and corners are slightly rounded, would give each piece (and the assembly) a nice bit of texture.

[@AnonOmis1000]

If they ever do a remake of A Christmas Story, your son could be cast as Ralphie

[@FishersShop]

He'd shoot his eye out

[@j316finewoodworking6]

Always awesome work.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you so much 😀
