Impossible Dovetail

The impossible dovetail puzzle is a classic woodworkers and machinists way to prove their skills. It takes a fair amount of skill and patience to create this puzzle.

When it comes to the impossible dovetail and the 3D printing it is almost like cheating. The tricky part is creating a model. I used FreeCAD v0.16 to create the model. It took a lot of reading and experimenting to come up with a model.

One of the neatest version of this puzzle was created by Clickspring. http://www.clickspringprojects.com/videos/machining-the-impossible-dovetail
