Nice puzzle! I finally did figure out how to do it. Now I'm make some for myself and Christmas gifts. I have hit a snag however. "Fusing" the chord together is not going well. It's very similar to trying to shove a wet noodle into another. I have removed the inner chord from the paracord. I have heated one end and melted it to a point. I can only insert it about 3/8" into the other end. I have tried everything I know to fuse them together(matches, heat gun, etc) and it does not provide a reliable attachment. If I heat more of the pointed end it becomes rigid and will certainly cause problems entering and exiting the bolt.Your connections look nice and clean. Mine turn black when I heat them up. Any suggestions?

This explanation is the best I've seen and I'd like to think I've looked at every option available. The timing was perfect...I need to make a Geneva wheel now for a project I'm working on. I am addicted to Sketchup and this project techniques should transfer easily. Thanks for posting it.

I like it! Might be enough to make me finally get a router table

Outstanding design and craftsmanship! Could you please see what happens with M & M peanuts? I've been looking forever for a way to dispense one single M & M peanut at a time with no luck. Everything I've tried ends up at some point with two peanuts trying to get into the same place at the same time. Maybe your Reindeer with a side angle load might be a better chance of success.

Yes, I made six of them to give away for gifts and then decided to learn sketchup and pass the plans on to others
