General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Question for all you Nice Puzzle Makers
« on: November 05, 2014, 10:34:41 pm »
Jerry I have only done a dozen or so however I have been successful in making the puzzles and not used glossy paper. In my opinion the difference between the top layer and the bottom layer is too extreme for good puzzle making. I use a good quality paper that you might use for a brochure. Then I print the picture with a color laser. If you do not have one then you should be able to go to a Kinkos / Fedex and print there. One of the other ways is to get an old Calendar and use the pictures from that.
The board for the puzzles I have made is generally 1/4 thick. There is some board prep that I do generally. I seal the surface that the puzzle will be going on to with a coat of lacquer, this helps the picture stick to the board. I have a strong spray adhesive that I put on both the surface that the puzzle goes on and the backside of the picture. Being real careful put it on the board ensuring that no air bubbles or creases are present. I generally give it a couple to 4 days to sit and allow all of the solvent to evaporate. I then start to put light coats of lacquer on the board w/picture until I have put at least 4 coats on. Then I let that sit an additional 3 - 5 days to harden. Then the puzzle is ready to cut. Use a puzzle blade or a #2 or #1 to get a good tight locking puzzle. You can get the blades from Mikes Workshop - http://www.mikesworkshop.com/blades.htm. Also on Mikes website there is a tutorial on puzzle making by the puzzle master himself, Carter Johnson. Take your time and have fun.

Brag Forum / My latest Projects for my November Shows
« on: November 03, 2014, 05:34:08 pm »
This puzzle was cut from 1/4 Baltic Birch and has over 150 pieces ( did not stop to count them )
This bowl was cut from Sapele and poplar. It is 6 inches long x 6 wide. Finished with Tung Oil and Shellac.
This is a Steve Good pattern. I cut at least one every year for my November shows. The wood is Sapele and Pine. Sealed with Tung Oil and topcoated with Shellac.
This ornament was thought of by Harmony on the Scroll Saw Woodworking and crafts forum. There is no pattern I saw it asked Harmony for permission to use the idea and made this one. Cut from 3/4 pine the bird is from Diane Thompsons birdhouse patterns but enlarged to fit the trailer. The perch and tongue leveler are bamboo skewers. Finish is Shellac.

Shades of the movie AI and Total Recall. Welcome to Johnny Cab.... Destination Please. Nothing wrong with a driverless car. The Germans have been testing this concept for something like 20 years with no accidents and that was on the Autobahn. Seldom is it the car that causes the accident but the driver. Take the human out of the equation and the number of accidents will decrease.
