Now we've done the this before - we did a globe puzzle and some others. I usually get bored because they are too easy or frustrated because they are too hard. Let's face it, I am not a puzzle guy (then why the puzzle - I said, I was on a toot).

In our wanderings we happened upon the Met Store at Rockefeller Center. And we saw 2 Leonardo Divinchi models that were puzzle-ish. Eddie and I both made one. His the model of the ornithopter (the helicopter) and mine of the bird man (the glider).

The fact that these little balsa wood sadistic puzzle (good for 12 and up ha!) are not in 1,000 little balsa wood chips is a testament to Ed's patience and talking me down off a ledge. I offer them up not as bragging, but as proof since I shan't be doing it again!

My little flying man - somehow both harder, and less pretty than Ed's. And yes, you turn the crank and he flaps |
Ed's ornithopter. It really races when you turn his crank! |
