Welcome

I'm relatively new to the hobby of Anchor Stones. I started my collection in 2007 with a set #6 and have since expanded to set #12 (ie: 6 + 6a + 8a, + 10a). I've also played with the Kleine Gernegroß and Heinzelmännchen sets. Each set came with a small instruction book of several models that could be created. While these models were fun to build, I wish there were more.

I began building my own creations using inspiration from the supplied books and other resources found on the internet. I've been trying to document my constructions for some time. It's a continual work in progress. This blog is a means for me to share my work with others. Enjoy, and feel free to leave a comment.

NOTE: The models were created and rendered using AnkerCAD with a little help from the GIMP. I encourage readers to leave a link to photos they take of these constructions.

Packing Plan for set 12


As an alternative to the packing plans that accompany each Anchor Stone set, I present the packing plan I use. Note that one of the boxes has an empty space the size of a #1 block. The stones are not labeled, but one should be able to determine placement by observation. The key to this packing plan is that all like stones (in size and color) are packed next to each other and in the same orientation.

I have really enjoyed your past blogs with the plans. Thanks for putting up your creations. I have been secretly wanting a set of stones for years. Recently I decided to purchase set 6 and 6A.

I'm thrilled with them. Very peaceful and calming activity for the end of the day. Thanks so much for your posts!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your new hobby. I too find Anchor Stones very relaxing. I like the smell of opening a fresh box of stones. The models on this site are relatively simple, but they all give a nice sense of accomplishment.
