Wedding puzzle

[John B]

Looking through some old photos of my work and I came across this. I made it for my mates wedding. A puzzle piece for each guest. They all signed their pieces and then had a bit of fun placing their piece in the correct position. I also made a box for the couple to keep the puzzle in, but have no pics of that.
It turned out to be a treasured keepsake.
Just an idea that some may like to use..
Cheers

Thanks Don,
it was an A3 size 297mm x 420mm that is the largest my printer will do. 40 pieces worked out pretty good. If there where more guests I could of taken the picture down to a local printers on a  USB stick and had a larger size printed, with the only restriction being the ability of the Scrollsaw to manage it. I always give the face of my photos a coat of lacquer before gluing them to the board and then one more coat before cutting them. This way I could mark out a grid with a chinagraph pencil on the face. After cutting I put the puzzle back together, wipe the pencil of sand it lightly with 360 or 400g paper and give it a final coat of lacquer.
cheers mate

Thanks John.

I will definitely have to have printed at the local printer and probably figure out the max cutting as my future niece comes from a big family.

Thanks again for the great idea and if this gets done I will post a picture.

Love the idea and great job.

There are some really cool alternatives to guest books. 

For my wedding I cut out various heart shapes and had guests sign them. I then mounted the hearts to piece of wood with some lovey saying with the date.

I did a similar one for a friend with leaves and a tree cutout.

What a brilliant idea John.  Do you free hand the puzzle of do you have a template?

I draw a rough grid on the face with a chinagraph pencil and then free hand from there. By giving the paper a coat of lacquer prior to fixing it to the board, then a second coat before cutting, the pencil just rubs of.
