Like the design described above, this one also uses pins and holes. The basic puzzle consists of six 1 x 1 x 3 bars and six dowels of length 3. Each bar has three holes slightly larger than the dowels. The puzzle pieces are fabricated as shown in Fig. 80, using brads to hold the dowels in place. One version of the puzzle uses one pin, one bar, two crosses, and three elbows. This puzzle can be assembled one way only but is quite easy.

By having larger sets of pieces and including one more type of piece twice as long, many larger and more complicated figures can be constructed. Two examples of which are shown in Fig. 81.
