Popular Post Iguanadon Posted August 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I wanted to try making a video of my overall puzzle making process, so I shot a series of 3 videos this morning and found software that allowed me to merge them together into a single clip (not free software, had to buy a license for it). Here is my first attempt. My phone kept unfocusing and focusing which I know is annoying, my apologies. I'll try again some time to make a better version but this should give you an idea of my overall process which I've shared out here in words before. After making it I realized I had about 55 puzzles in various stages of my process... Kind of nuts, huh? Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Woodmaster1 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Nice assembly line. I can see why you want a top of the line scroll saw. Do you use poplar for most of your puzzles? With your puzzle post I am thinking of making a few because it looks like fun. It would be something new for me as I am just getting into scrolling.

Thanks. Yes, I use poplar. I like the color variations that come with each board. I absolutely enjoy making each and every one of them. It's very relaxing to me. I have a full time job, so this is a great way to de-stress throughout the day. Here ya go... a freebie pattern so you can give it a try. I sell the patterns for Harvey Byler, the artist behind them. Let me know if any questions. Iggy Rescue1Harvey.pdf jollyred and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to say, yes, they are great fun to cut and addictive as well!

CharleyL Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Scott, A great video, but you left out your shrink wrapping system. Where do you get your shrink wrap and how do you do it? Your work area is also much neater than my shop, but I'm usually building large cabinets, etc. as well as doing small scroll saw work at the same time. When scrolling, I always drill the holes and cut the inside areas of my work first. This gives me more to hang onto during most of the cutting process and reduces breakage. I then work gradually outward from the approximate center and cut the outer profiles last, but much of what I do is considerably smaller than what you do.

WayneMahler Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Great video on your production process. You have developed a system that works great for you. Thanks for sharing. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguanadon Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thanks for the comments everyone. I realize I need to do another one, with more detail, information and showing me actually cutting a puzzle from beginning to end. I'll try to do that for those who are interested. I use shrink wrap bags that are 9"x12" and open on one end. Simply insert the puzzle and heat the open end first, then shrink everything else around it. Here is where I get the bags now that Amazon doesn't carry the size I need any longer. https://www.papermart.com/flat-shrink-bags/id=4937 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
