Puzzle Christmas Ornaments

[kmmcrafts]

I didn’t get much shop time on this (finally ) nice day. But I managed to get about 2 hours of saw dust making. I only got 8 of the BBQ and 4 each of the Cow and Unicorn. 

I resized the puzzle patterns and then edited some of the details. I resize these so they fit in my ornament gift boxes which are 3-3/4 x 5 inches. 

Thing I like about ornaments over the puzzles is less wood, production cutting, ( stack cutting) less paper used as I arrange 4 patterns onto one sheet of paper. Not much space needed for inventory.  BBPly is only $15 a 5 x 5 sheet. Not sure how many ornaments I can get out of a sheet but it’s allot, lol. Then they sell for $16 each quite well for me.

Sweet - Thanks for sharing those

How do they stay together?

Nice job Kevin.  Les, they aren't actually cut out as puzzles - that is part of the modification he has made. He cuts them as one piece.

They are puzzle patterns that I modified to be non puzzles and then down sized to about 4.5" long by about 2' high... cut from 1/8" BB ply..

No these are made with the 3mm BB.. Wife and I disagree on the thickness for ornaments.. and I've asked several times on forums about it..  She feels the 3mm is too thin of material.. and like the 6mm better... However we both sort of agree that the 3mm is a little thin.. and we both agree that the 8mm is on the bulky side, LOL.. they need to make some 4mm or 5mm LOL

I think the safest bet for you as the wife is involved is to agree to disagree
