Let me start out by saying that I did not test cut this pattern. I was just experimenting with unique jigsaw puzzle designs and this was one attempt. I think it works but watch for errors just in case. You can cut this puzzle with no picture or you could add an image. The image would probably be best if it were a pattern or design.
If you decide to add a picture you can use the technique I use with the Jigsaw Template ebook I sell. Here is a video that shows the complete process.
If you like what you see in the video I have the jigsaw template book available in my online store.
It is $7 and available as an instant download after payment.
This is an easy way to turn wedding, anniversary, birthday, graduation and more photos in to keepsakes.
There are templates of all the standard photo sizes. 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. Up to 300 piece puzzles. There are 30 templates included.
Cooking With Russ:
This has a connection to the scroll saw. I promise. Why am I linking you to a video about cooking? Many of you will recognize Russ Claridy. Russ has been a contributor to the scroll saw community for years. He runs the Simply Wooden Creations web page. Russ has been a friend of mine for many years and we work together often.
The other day Russ and I were talking and he mentioned that he was starting a new YouTube channel about cooking. I have done enough video to know how difficult it is to pull off something like what he was telling me about. My expectations were low. Guess what? He has done a really nice job. It easily exceeded my expectations.
Russ explains the process well and the camera angles are good. He is comfortable on camera. It may not be as polished as FOOD TV but it really is not that far off.
In this first video, he cooks up some Sauteed Pork Chops. Dang, it looks good. I am no cook but I think I could make this dish after he showed me the recipe.
Because I know that many of you have seen Russ on his scroll saw videos I though you might enjoy his new channel.

DEWALT Thickness Planer, Two Speed, 13-Inch (DW735X)
I have owned this thickness planer for a few years. To put is simply. It works well. I have not had any problems other than replacing the blades.
As scroll saw users we often need thin boards. The planer is one step in milling the boards to need. It's better if you have a nice band saw with the planer but in a pinch the planer will do the job.
