If you have ever eaten at a Cracker Barrell you have probably seen the Triangle Peg Puzzle on the table. It only requires 13 moves to solve the Triangle Puzzle(See solution below). It's easy to memorize if you want to impress your family the next time you stop for dinner.

I thought we could bump up the challenge a bit and move from 14 pegs to 32 pegs. I do not include a solution for the advanced version. You will have to solve it yourself. The truth is I have not solved it myself. I have gotten down to 4 tees.

To add to the challenge you can start with a different hole empty.

Golf Tees are different lengths. I prefer the 2 1/8" tees but the 2 3/4" will works okay. I bought 100, 2 1/8" wooden tees at Dick's Sporting Goods for $8.99. Almost any sporting goods store will carry tees. If you need to order them online here is an Amazon affiliate link

There is a pattern for both the Triangle and Advanced puzzles.

How many can you remove?

Different Opinions: 




I had a polite discussion in the comments sections of a YouTube video about using tape under a scroll saw pattern. Someone made the comment that the tape helps lubricate the blade and reduces friction heat on the blade. This is supposed to reduce the scorching of the wood and make the blade last longer before it dulls. As an added bonus it makes the pattern easier to remove.

Another gentleman made the comment that he believes it is not reasonable to consider an adhesive as a lubricant. I made the comment that it is my understanding that there is also a release agent included in the glue on the tape and that is what actually lubricates the blade. I have not confirmed this as a fact.

I know scrollers who use tape and I know scrollers who do not use tape. I have said it here before, there is no absolutely correct way to create art. My personal experience is that the tape does improve the cut, prevents scorching, and makes the pattern easier to remove. I use tape 90 percent of the time. 

My suggestion with all scrolling techniques is to experiment with different methods. Use what you read and see other do as an opportunity to try something different but not as gospel. If it works for you then that's great. If not, then try something different.

I normally avoid discussion in the YouTube comments section. They can get difficult. In this case, the gentleman was experienced, knowledgeable, and polite, so the conversation was just thought-provoking for me.
