If you think interlocking rings are hard!

Take a look at these

I just thought it might give people some ideas :wink:

Surely only a sadist would put themself through that. :wink:

Excellent.

Thanks for the link Paul.

Yikes, how terribly French.

I think this one is a case of appreciating how incredibly clever the man was but not finding his work very attractive. Aesthetically for me, very few of his things work. His 'ordinary' turnings are obviously beautifully done but still seem to lack that 'must have' thing too!

The 'mantlepiece' test applies. However, it is clear that many people disagree with me. Sounds familiar

I

I hope it's all right if I make these for my entry ,I would be interlocking them of course . 8)
My main problem will be the colouring as I dont have any paint or stuff like that .
Just hope I dont Balls it up. :lol: :roll:

the man is (was) obviously a genius and a visionary. I have enough trouble picturing in my mind the finished shape of a simple object like a goblet, let alone working out not only how to create these but also shaping the tools to be able to fit into and shape without interference :shock:
Thanks for the link

I have to repeat my point here about the mantlepiece test. There is nothing here that I would want own. Brilliant - yup, astonishing - certainly but attractive, beautiful?? Not to these eyes.
