The graph designs which are used by some of the puzzles are in fact fold out puzzle pieces. All four sides of the piece are drawn under each other. Beneath has given a fictitious puzzle piece and its graph design.

In the graph design you see thick and thin lines. The thick lines are the 'saw lines' the thin lines the construction line. In some graph designs thin lines are also saw lines, because the figure would be unreadable if all saw lines were thick. Examples of this are the graph design of Triquat and Twelve star.

Under the graph design you see a row of numbers. These numbers indicate the distance between two points. All these distances are related to the diameter of the beam. The standard diameter is 1. So if the distance between A and B is 0,453 and you have bought a beam with a diameter of 1,6 inches the true distance between A an B is 0,72 inches. Some puzzles are meat of boards with a different depth and height. This will be indicated in the graph design by x and y.
