I pick up more tips an tricks in SSV that help so much, but gluing the horse puzzle was not one of them, lol . Conner likes certain things so base your patterns on something he likes. When I started, If I seen some thing I wanted to cut that influenced  my cutting tremendously. Thanks for looking!!!

Nicely done.

I don't see a problem with the Unicorn. Pieces all look well cut, nibs look fine etc.

Thanks for sharing it

Lol, you made me laugh!!! If i try to separate the pieces they will come off almost but hang up and you could stand the horse up in one piece sideways.

That happens to me to Kevin. Check your blade alignment. Mine was off just a little and that's all it took to make the pieces hard to get in. Now they all fit fine.

 

I recently got down and eyeballed the blade movements ,Your right it was out of plumb! I had to reverse the stationary set screw that the blade stops on the top and bottom blade holders. The top one the set screw come out about 1/8" and the bottom one is flush with the blade holder. funny how changing this setting did the trick!!!Thanks
