Here is an example run. I use the defaults of 2 minimum, 3 amount of shares. After creating the shares, I remove "Share 2". And as you can see, it still works to get back the "secret".

Basically the idea here is that you can then print/write down the different shares and place them in different locations. And to get back the secret you need the minimum amount back like shown in the example above. I know, it's a lot of words, and it will be even more for more secret words, but still. It's my first version. There might come better solutions later. For now this works fine. I made this as part of a project of mine, but I'm thinking I could release this to the bitcoin community for free to help you out, if it would be of interest?
