  • Noah's Arc Puzzle

    Can you please confirm the width of the wood. Is it suppose to be 1" because each puzzle requires to be split in two making them quite thin. Thanks alot

    Without posting the actual pattern can you tell us which pattern you are referring too? There are several Noah's arc patterns out there.

      I believe it's the Noah's Ark Puzzle in Dave Peterson's "Animal Puzzles" Book. I used 7/8" Cherry. The pieces are just about right when cut in two. The problem I had was getting the cherry pieces to be darker than the background, even though I stained them with Minwax cherry stain. They were essentially the same color. I could not find the stain he mentioned in the book

          The thickness (not width) of the wood I think yes, 1 inch thickness. It really is not that critical though, 1 1/8th thickness, or 7/8" would work just as well. The more important thing is slicing the animals in half so that the two animals are as close as possible to being of equal thickness.

            That is a FINE looking puzzle. I take it the 2 x 2 animals are 1 animal cut in half. That would be some 'fine' cutting - especially with a curly cue tail.

              I did two of these, different sizes, and tried to split the animals on one, and on the third to last animal - giraffe - one leg split off. Nothing to back thin pieces, so haven't done it to the other.

              Has anybody else experienced this?

                    Without the complete schematic it is hard to know what is correct.
                    That said, it is a multispeed blower that obviously has a controller board. That board varies the power to the motor. By doing what you did you bypassed that. You put power across the low and high windings. If any thing connecting...

                    If he connected to red and black and the motor spun wouldn't that indicate the motor is grounded? Without connecting the white the circuit isn't complete and the motor should not spin.

                    The reason for the smoke is incorrect wiring, posible melted insulation between motor windings and motor frame.

                    You mentioned connecting power to the red & and black wire. Did you do anything with White wire? Per the lable on the motor the black wire is high the Red is low. White common...
