Does anyone know a good source for the twisted nail puzzle? It is the 2 linking nail type. I can find many, but they are rather cheap looking and the nails seperate too easy - tolerance is a rather wide gap. I have a good pair with heavy nails - I am trying to find a source for about 100-200 of them - or a nail bending jig to make them myself (Preferred)

I see them all the time at Cracker Barrel restaurants in the gift shop. If you've got one near you, stop in and see if they have them. If so, I'm sure you can work something out with the manager to order a bunch for you.

Good luck. Mark.

I was looking at another posted topic in this section and found a link to a mail order company that has these puzzles for you for about 75 cents.
Goto:

and scroll down the page - you'll find them. There are probably other sources but just happened across this one here.

Hope this helps,

I received my set of the nails from the above reference. They are lightweight and a bit sharp on the ends. I shall continue my quest.

The nail puzzle was invented by W.S.Jenkins in the year 1908.

Try Tony Curtis Magic - I have a set from him that you can separate with ONE hand, they are LOVELY.
