After all your fun work, I have to tell you that I took pictures of the children to Bedford's ( our photography shop ) and they made the puzzles for me that I gave as part of last year's Christmas presents; so for those of us who are NOT as talented as YOU, there are other ways.... but the outcome was in regular puzzle pieces, not wood. sherronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-7281068750920684892012-08-08T07:26:35.870-07:002012-08-08T07:26:35.870-07:00If you Google "scroll saw," you will fin...If you Google "scroll saw," you will find many. I have had both Dremel and Craftsman little table saws that saw. After you have mounted a photo to 1/4" plywood with either matte medium or a heavy duty spray and allowed this to dry thoroughly, you should practice cutting puzzle pieces from scrap wood. <br />Review the shapes of puzzle pieces. I keep the idea of a 2" puzzle piece in mind as I cut out my first puzzle piece. I proceed from the first corner all around the photo on wood, always hoping to cut a link in one or two sides. Perfection is not attainable for me. I don't mark or plan ahead. I just "do." After one goes around the edge, one is ready to tackle the middle area. Good luck!Linda Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622069411237073813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-37809865115163342202012-08-07T19:36:33.997-07:002012-08-07T19:36:33.997-07:00You are always inspiring and I would love to try t...You are always inspiring and I would love to try this when I am free.

I have always been grateful for both! <br /><br />I just covered the puzzles with a cling wrap and found in that little effort how very difficult the puzzles are to do :*)Linda Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622069411237073813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-76643172835479103252012-08-07T08:32:21.624-07:002012-08-07T08:32:21.624-07:00You've used a scroll saw since 7th grade?
