Dan Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I purchased the dog breed puzzle set from Scroller, LTD. Here are the first two I did. These are in 3/4" poplar. The husky has a poly finish. The boxer is currently unfinished. These are a blast to make.

Lucky2 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Dan, they could be good sellers for you, it depends on how many people in your area that own dogs. These two look great, now you just need to figure out what breeds would be good sellers. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iguanadon Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Roly, you must be confused. My name is Dan not Iggy. Ha! As a matter of fact yesterday I determined my top 20 selling items and made 10 copies of each pattern so I can start stockpiling for next spring/summer. First batch of 200... I'll start cutting next week. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit, it doesn't take as much time as I thought it would to cut them. I do run them under the mop sander and that makes all the difference. Do you put a finish on them?

I will admit, it doesn't take as much time as I thought it would to cut them. I do run them under the mop sander and that makes all the difference. Do you put a finish on them? Nah, got a ways til retirement, but I know what I'll be doing to supplement my income when the time does arrive! But I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home, so I can sneak out into the garage and cut a dog or two during the work day. From laying the pattern on the wood until I apply the mineral oil finish, takes me right at 30 minutes per animal. I have a "system" now in which I do about 15 in a batch. Lay them out on a 5' long board, cut the outlines, then cut the puzzles, then apply the oil. I don't do any sanding or filing as they're very smooth to the touch already. When complete I dip them in food grade mineral oil and let them air dry for at least 24 hours to soak in. Another fortunate thing is that I'm in a tourist area (the beach), so I have a fresh batch of customers every week during the spring, summer and fall. My #1 top selling dog, which I never would have guessed is the Dachshund... go figure... then the Shepherd, Black Lab, Beagle, Bulldog, Golden (Retriever), Pit Bull and Pug. I'm sure that will be different depending on what's popular where you live. I wish you luck with them, let me know if I can answer any questions at all.

Iguanadon Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Lookin good bit what size blades are you using just curious. Jerry Hi Jerry, Dan will chime in on what he uses. I cut similar puzzles and I use #3 Olson Mach Speed blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Lookin good bit what size blades are you using just curious. Jerry I'm using FDUR #5. I may experiment with other blades at some time, but the puzzle pieces fit well and I currently have no other use for my #5 blades.
