4 new puzzles

[John B]

I have completed 36 stand up puzzles to add to the cache.
These are 4 new designs that I have cut from 30mm Radiata Pine, using Olson #7 Mach for outside cuts and a Olson PG #5 for inside cuts
Two coats of gloss lacquer over acrylic paint.

Boats 170 x 150mm.  Cat 215 x 130mm,  Utes 230 x 100mm,  3 little pigs 220 x 170mm

Why the gloss lacquer?

Protection (looks) and it makes them wipeable after grubby little hands have played with them

Those are really cool. I like the color combo’s

You make the most awesome puzzles. The finish is always five stars.

All are great. I especially like the three little pigs. Beautifully painted, as always.

John, Great work!!  I really like the painted finish.

What blade do you use?  Every time I cut a puzzle and then paint or stain the pieces don't fit back in, too tight.

How much slack is just right or too much?

Thanks

I use an Olson PG #5. I can't tell you how much slack is to much?. I cut my puzzles for kids and so I like them to be a little loose so they don't get frustrated.
One coat of paint on joining pieces and then I cut back the bloom so that it is smooth.

I love it!  The entire batch is very compelling.
