kardar2 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 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. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 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. DW frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I am sure someone would find it a challenge, puzzle people are like that, they like a challenge. That why I hate puzzles. :lol: Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredfret Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 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. Fredfret Wichita, Ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Nice unique puzzle. Don't you dare scrap it. But, like Kevin... I can't open them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 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. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
