Reply to elementary questionsI cut over 100 3/4" hardwood puzzles evey year.. I use #5 Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse or Pegas Modified Geometry blades. They are easier for young children and older adults. If you going to paint.. that will effect the parts as well.. I only tried that a few times. the pieces stuck together for...05-11-2021, 12:48 PM

Reply to elementary questionsThis is the way I would do this. If using 3/4 stock my wood choice would be poplar and I would use a #1 or #3 blade. After cutting I would apply shellac to all surfaces before painting. I agree with Mark that some pieces appear to be a choking hazard.05-11-2021, 07:13 AM -
Reply to elementary questionsYou asked about paint, if this is for a child, make sure the finish is child save.
Another thing you may want to to consider is the size of the pieces and age of the recipient. Some of those pieces look small enough to be a choke hazard.
Here is a link to a past discussion...05-11-2021, 06:54 AM -
Reply to elementary questionsCute Pattern.
I have good success treating the wood with spry shellac before cutting. There will not be a problem painting the pieces with craft paint over the shellac. As previously said, just be sure to keep the paint off of the cut edges. If you want to seal the craft paint, a light spray coat...05-10-2021, 09:14 PM -

I have made puzzels in the past I just wanted to get some fresh ideas on blades and finish. I like the idea of applying shellac first that is if the paint sitll covers...05-10-2021, 06:30 PM -
Reply to elementary questionsDan, your questions are a little tough to answer without knowing a little more about this puzzle you're cutting. That said, here are my thoughts:
- First of all, it would be helpful to know the overall size of this puzzle and how many pieces you're thinking of cutting it into. 1/2" BB is pretty

So I am making a puzzel for a co worker, not real intricagte, I am using 1/2 baltic birch, I almost always use fdur blades. My questions are what size blade sholuld I use, considering finish, and what size entry hole should I drill?
Next question is how to finish? When painting puzzles, different...05-08-2021, 11:49 AM -

Reply to This is what was in the Mayo BoxesAmong other things. I was surprised to see 190 proof. Everclear tops out at 150 proof here in NC, but I have seen it at 190 in Georgia.
What was the old college recipe? Equal parts Hawaiian Punch and Everclear? You pour it into Mayo jars, put the lids on and store in the original boxes....05-05-2021, 04:44 PM -
