In my jigsaw puzzle work I purposely never use a pattern. I guess I have sort of a sick aversion to making something someone else has designed. I tell all new scrollers to spend some time without...

Hi folks,,,

Here's the second puzzle I've cut from a 14 x 10.5 calendar of unusual treehouses. I know from the first one that it will be tough to assemble, so I cut the pieces a little bigger (254...

Here in the U.S. I regularly use 8.0 jewelers' blades to cut 1/4" plywood into tiny jigsaw puzzles of postage stamps (see attached photo). I buy them from Sloanswoodshop.com. Since they...

It sounds as if you're going to be cutting flat puzzles rather than stand-up puzzles, which, of course, require thicker wood.

I truly do not believe that you need any kind of pattern for a flat...

Well, hi there, Jutta. Thought I'd eventually find you here.

Yes, I'm still making the little stamp puzzles and have attached a photo of one here. I always carry a couple of them in my pocket and...

I haven't posted a puzzle here for awhile. Here's one from a calendar picture where I threw away the background, including the background gaps in the flowers. Thus half of the puzzle is pretty easy...

Col. what you have cut is called a "push-fit" puzzle in that the pieces generally do not interlock. The assembler essentially slides the pieces into each other. I don't know whether that would be...

I guess I'm a bit confused. I don't know why you would need a pattern for large jigsaw puzzle pieces. You know what a puzzle piece looks like, so just start cutting big ones after you have your...

I've cut a couple puzzles from these calendar pictures before,. This one I tried to cut through the centers of the heavy black lines between colors. In a couple of spots, it was tricky to put...

Wow! If that doesn't show the pure joy of riding, I don't know what can...Great job!

Before I start cutting, I spray the mounted picture with one thick coat of any "triple-thick glaze" spray. It's usually available where craft supplies are sold. Otherwise, I'm sure any real glossy...

I just finished this one. I don't know whether Australia's children and been bitten by these goofy characters, but they are only moderately popular here in the U.S. but are all the rage in Mexico and...

First of all, many, many thanks to you Aussies and others who have posted such nice comments and questions. I plan to submit another thread soon with a newer puzzle and a link to where you can view...

No, no template or pattern of any kind. No need in many case because, especially with the card, the natural shapes of the objects and animals within the picture provide natural locks.

Thanks.....I started cutting freehand right away 19 years ago when I got my first scroll saw. I must admit that I never considered a pattern. It's really easy once you learn to control the saw and to...

Hi folks....

I'm new to the forum but have been active in internet exchanges here in the US and the UK for many years. I cut jigsaw puzzles (maybe you folks use the simpler British "jigsaws")....
