Name Puzzles x2

[John B]

Completed these 2 today. It has been a long time since I made any name puzzles and I had to stop and stir the grey matter a few times to bring back my methods.

Cut from 6mm mdf with a 3mm mdf backer. I used a Pegas PG#3 and should of used a #5. The pieces are a little more snug than I like when making puzzles for little hands.

Isabel 310mm x 105mm, Charlie 370mm x 105mm. The dot on the I is glued in place.

You did mean "Great" idea.  We sure don't want to "grate" on anyones nerves or let water flow through the "grate".  Are we having fun yet?

Nice job and great colors! Someone mentioned sometime back that they cut puzzle letters on a slight angle to make them easier for little hands to put in. I’m going to give that a shot next time I do one. Oh, nice of you to cut me a puzzle.

OOP'S bad me I am a very bad speller (if that is a word).  I was trying to say great job and like the idea of the project.

I knew exactly what you were saying Barbara, and thank you very much.
You just don't see many of my spelling mistakes because I go back and correct them 3 or 4 times

Thanks Heaps Barb, Marg and Dick.
I appreciate your comments
If you only knew how much time and indecision I spend on deciding colours, and I never let the wife see things until they are finished, or they will all get rearranged again

That's a good idea Charlie. I may just have to try it on my next lot.
I did make some dress-up dolls from ply and cut them on an angle, I will have to dig out photos and show you, as they are hard to explain. They sold well though.

If you find them please message me a picture. We have some magnetized dress up people and the grand kids love to play with them. I'd love to make them a puzzle version.
