Construction Vehicle Puzzle - Plow

[Denny Knappen]

Definitely not for the bragging section, but I needed a quick project for a great grandson almost five.  The pattern is by Sarah Lyn Chamberlain and found in SWC Fall 2019.  I used 3/4" Pine and cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw with MGT #5 blades.  The finish is dipped in Shellac diluted 50% with alcohol.  Comments welcome.

I love that.  Does she have a website where one can buy patterns.  I looked but could not find one.

I found her website with some great puzzles but does not seem to sell patterns.

That will be a big hit with the 5 year old crowd!

Great work--as is the case when you post something.

Thanks for the comments.  I don't think she sells her patterns.  I think there are four patterns in SWC.

Beautiful puzzle. I was curious on piece size and number for children. Found this. RJF

Looks good Denny.
You have be buggered though with the "Shellac diluted 50% with alcohol". Do you buy shellac pre mixed?
I use flakes and add methylated spirits (Alcohol?) to make a shellac finish and just add less flakes to the mix for a thinner solution.

Hi John.  Yes, I buy the Shellac premixed.
