Really frustrated

Well this was suppose to be just a puzzle. I made sure my blade was strait when I started.but when I finished some pieces only fit in from the back and some others,only fit from the front.some pieces go all the way through. So instead of putting it into the scrap pile I glues the base on this piece of oak and shellaced it with several coats. Some one might come along and adopt it or it might end up in the scrap pile.post-1410-0-40773400-1447284556_thumb.jpgpost-1410-0-40773400-1447284556_thumb.jpg

Karl,

Who said that a puzzle only has to go together from one direction?  I routinely make mine so that some sections have to be put together first then put in from either the front or the back.  It makes it more challenging and fun to put together.  I see nothing wrong with your puzzle.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Karl,

I don't see a real problem with that adds to the challenge. I suspect you are guilty like I am of adding a little side pressure on your cuts. Possibly your saw has a Large front to back offset and faster turns can cause similar issues. Something new to learn/practice every time I use the saw even after 20 years.

Hear your pain, that happens to me when I try puzzles.  Besides the blade being straight you need to remember the pressure you push with, how you do turns etc.  I hate puzzles unless I use like a # 7 blade that way I allow for all the wrong things I do with a bigger blade and it works sometimes.

Was unable to open the pictures but it looks great in the small photo.
