  • A tricky puzzle

    Just been making a puzzle for my sister - it's kind of "revenge" for a puzzle she bought for me a couple of years ago ...

    Pics aren't too great but I'm sure you get the idea - and with no picture to follow and no edges it should keep her busy for a little while ..

    The paper is a piece of scrapbooking paper, which interestingly cuts much nicer glued onto birch ply than photographic quality paper does .. the heavy photo paper seems to leave very faint "scuff" marks on the edge pieces - for want of a better expression - maybe it would be better to use the thinner photoquality printer paper that's around?

          I had a brain fart on something that would really drive her nuts-- ( showing my brain does have its moments) what aboout a puzzle all one color? Maybe of reeses peanut butter cups or hersey bars or kisses?
          Just the color matching would drive her bonkers..

            Great work on free style cutting. Looks like you have been taking some tips from Carter.

              I'm still aspiring to Carter's skills, Will ..

              I thought trying to cut colour boundaries on this one was taking it a bit far ...

                Sharon you have an evil mind - and Marsha says I have a wicked streak ..lol

                It was M and Ms cos my sis is a Smartie lover - and M and Ms are the closest that I could find on scrapbooking paper..

                The shop I bought the paper in had some other papers that would make "challenging" puzzles - there was one with just blades of grass - and one with just woodgrain ....

                  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...
