Sycamore67 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 My grandson is a big fan of Batman so I made a puzzle for him. He was very happy with the puzzle but took him a bit of time to put together. It was cut from 3/4" Poplar. It was sanded and then sealed with Shellac. The colors are acrylic paint and then top coated with Shellac. The tray is a back layer of 1/4" plywood and the top layer 1/2" plywood and finished with Shellac.

wombatie Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 That is so cool. It will give him hours of pleasure and I am sure that in the future he will do it blindfolded. Marg Quote

rdatelle Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 Looks good. Did you have any trouble with the shellac getting between the pieces. I just dip my puzzles in mineral oil. Quote
Sycamore67 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Posted January 7, 2018 If anyone wants, I have attached the pattern for this puzzle. I cut the puzzle with a FD Polar #5. The seal coat was done with shellac and a small brush. The Shellac after the acrylic paint was a spray can and light coats. Batman Puzzle.pdf Quote
