This is my first try at a freehand puzzle. Thanks to the encouragment and instructions from Carter Johnson. This photo is of my daughter, son-in-law and their baby. My son-in-laws parents are always putting puzzles together, so I thought I would give this to them. This puzzle is about 7 by 9 inches and has 75 pieces. The back side is mirror image.

That's a nice looking puzzle, Bill. I enjoy cutting puzzles - for some reason I find the freehand cutting relaxing ..lolIan

I agree Ian, you are not constrained to follow any particular line, and if the blade wanders a bit, it is no problem as long as you don't cut a neck too thin and you can make the pieces any size you like.Comment

Well done! You've used the contours of the picture to inform your saw cuts quite admirably. That's how a freeform jigsaw should be cut

Nice work!
And the in-laws will love it, I'm sure. Everybody seems to love their own personal puzzles.

I agree... great looking puzzle. So far I've only tried doing puzzles with the filter I have in PhotoShop. Boring, pretty standard pieces but easy for a beginner. I really admire those of you with the control to do freehand pieces. I can imagine the freehand stuff could really drive a person nuts when trying to put it together.Originally posted by PuzzledMoosePop

Good one, Bill! That ought to earn some major goodwill points with the in-laws.

Great puzzle.
I think if I would make that I would have a peace missing the first time my little one would put it together. lolComment
