Stomachion

For this weekly I decided to run with the idea of the stomachion a little bit more. Though it seems pretty straight forward and, frankly, simple, I started thinking of how to dig in to the puzzle a little bit more.  I experimented with different ways to solve the puzzle and actually found, after some internet searching, a few different ways to solve the puzzle actually.  I had trouble testing them with the site provided on our course page and finally decided that ought to just make my own.  So that's what I spent the rest of my time doing for this weekly.  I wanted to make something that would last and would not just sit in a folder somewhere.  I wanted to display it! So I decided to make my own out of wood.  I really like making furniture out of pallet wood and other old or recycled things.  So, that's what I did.  Once made I was able to experiment a bit more with the puzzle and really enjoyed my time doing so.  Anyhow, I didn't really think that I would get as much use out of it as someone else, so you can expect a package in the next week or so.  Hope you enjoy it!
