Impossible figures: amazing puzzles from joiners and welders

A good master is so skillful in his craft that out of boredom he begins to come up with all sorts of puzzles. Looking at some of them, the brain refuses to perceive the reality of what is happening. How does it work? Let's take a look and figure it out.

Wood is soft

This puzzle is based on the properties of wood to change shape when exposed to moisture and high temperature. Everything is done very simply. The edge of the workpiece is placed in boiling water for a few minutes. Further, it is squeezed with a vice or a powerful clamp and the screw is tightened. After that, the clamp is loosened and the tree takes its original shape.

Joiners simply adore this trick to freeze consciousness. But solving the secret is not difficult if you have an understanding of how to work with wood. This workpiece was pre-cut into two pieces. Next, a groove was made in it and a nail was placed. Then the halves were successfully glued with wood glue.

You can break your eyes

Indeed, looking at this masterpiece of a welder, you can break your eyesight. But this will happen if you look at the figure from one point. If you move your head a little, the secret will be revealed. This puzzle is called the Penrose Triangle. This "impossible" figure looks spectacular only in the photograph.

Welding generally has great potential in terms of creating complex geometric shapes. For example, the design looks strange and somehow unreal. But if you look closely, then everything falls into place: this is one broken line, closed on itself, which makes up the figure.

If it seems to you that these intricate designs are only for entertainment, then you are wrong. This is a completely practical table, or rather, a frame for it. It is made according to the same principle as the first figure. But I wonder how stable the structure will be when massive glass is laid on it? Still, she has one fulcrum and it is in the corner.

Unanswered puzzle

Friends, this riddle remains unanswered at the moment. Its author, blogger and professional carpenter Denis Orlov claims that no gluing was used here. Everything is clear if the nail was straight.
