Popular Post Badgerboy Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 My son and granddaughter love giraffes so I cut this simple puzzle out for them. The spot “art work” took almost as long as cutting . Tomanydogs, barb.j.enders, new2woodwrk and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Looks great Todd! The first time I cut that pattern my saw table was not perfectly square to the blade. The pieces fit together from only one side. It sat on my shelf of shame for a couple of years. I decided to see if I could fix it. I made sure the table was square, turned the puzzle over and carefully followed the existing lines with the pieces pushed together. This actually worked. I took it to a show and it sold! amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some of the same fitting problems here but was able to fix with a bit of fine file work. I suspect my problem was a dull blade and pushing to hard which created some drag on the bottom of the cut and therefore unsquare joints.

rjR Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Very nice work. This looks like it will be easier to assemble upside down. Are the spots painted or woodburned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Very nice project! I'd guess those spots would have taken me longer than the cutting. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spots were drawn with a brown permanent marker over the stain then the whole project dipped in danish oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
