Title: Schoolbus Stand Up Puzzle
Post by: baggetta on July 22, 2011, 11:50:13 am

Here's a little fun project you might like to try. A customer of mine called and asked if I could do a schoolbus puzzle as a gift for a friend. I didn't have one so I decided to design my own. Tried to make it comic in form and use the puzzle keys as simulated characters in the bus. Didn't come out too bad, so I thought I would post it here for anyone who might like to use it. I cut it from 1/2" poplar. My customer wanted it yellow, so I used a yellow dye. I'm not fond of colors on wood projects like this and would have preferred to leave with a mineral oil dunking and sealer. We'll I've posted the pattern here along with a couple of shots of the item in plain wood.
Have fun.
