Popular Post John B Posted July 22, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited July 23, 2022 by John B FrankEV, Loskoppie, Foxfold and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited July 23, 2022 by Charlie E John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick heppnerguy 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 wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, nice of you to cut me a puzzle. 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.
