  • Almost missed this Important "Remember When"

    Reminds me of the character on Gilligians Island. Wrongway Feldman.
    Guess they could not tell the basics, north, south, east, and west.

        Yes, I can see where one could become easily confused. History shouldn't have been so hard on the fella. . . .

                When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

                  So many are selling them here it’s not worth us making them. However, we do very well with our dough boards. Nobody else makes them.

                  I use #7 on my younger kid puzzles. Easier for them to put together.
