The Cutthroat TroutThis 3D cutthroat trout puzzle is so much more fun than the 'flat' puzzles. I think this fish puzzle would be popular with the people who love fish and fishing. He's not as hard to make as you'd think, and you don't 'carve' him, just round him off with the sander. He'll take about 2 hours to make. I use a bandsaw with a 1/8 and 1/4 inch blade and a 4X36 stationary belt sander, and yes, a drill press too.
Here he is, completely finished except for a mount. No carving, just sanding.
Okay, here he is mounted on a piece of framed plywood, I kind of like this idea. Notice how he sticks out from the frame. Neat, huh? You can use this plan for a puzzle trout, or just a 'carved' trout, or paint him and mount him with driftwood or on a wood plaque to hang on the wall. A great gift for the older 'kids' who love fishing. These plans run $8.50 postage paid in the USA. It isn't that hard to construct, involves no carving, only sanding. I use a 4 inch X 36 inch sander and a dremel rotary tool. Also a drill press and a bandsaw with a 1/8 inch blade, I'm sure a scrollsaw would work too.
