Hi All,
Just finished this jigsaw and ready to start putting a foot switch on my Parkside Scroll Saw.

Hi Don, I cut the same one a few months ago except with the babies cut into 3 thinner ones as per the book I got the plan from, ( Animal puzzles for the scroll saw, 2nd ed.by Judy and Dave Peterson ). Our 4 year old granddaughter loves it though takes all of 10 seconds to fit together. :ciggrin:

I stained mine light one side dark the other so the bits wouldn't get turned around.

You are having too much fun at this Don and it shows in your work A great little project and should keep some child very happy as well as amused.

Hi Bob,
That's the pattern I used. It looks like a lot of fun projects in the book.

Yes, I think from the same book I cut several others, haven't put a finish on any of them yet :goesred: apart from the penguin which I've at least dyed.

The pics are just rough and parts not closely assembled although I did ease and sand all the edges to make it easier for 4 year old fingers to manipulate. Can't find a pic of the rabbit but the puzzle is here as she used it last week.

Hi Bob,
A goodly display of scroll saw work there :thumbs:
I have fitted a foot switch to my saw and hope to get some time next week to cut some of these patterns.
These patterns are good as you don't need to stop and disconnect the blade after each cut
