Popular Post Iguanadon Posted March 16, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi Everyone, Harvey Byler, the artist of the animal puzzles that I make and sell patterns for is working on a new item. I'm calling them Animal Piles. Other artists have done some as some of you may be aware. Harvey has done 6 so far and they're available now on my site. Attached is a freebie to try out and if you like it, all I ask is that you check out the others. I just received them, so I haven't cut any yet. If you cut one, please share photos!

Sycamore67 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I think I will give this a try. What thickness and type of wood do you think would be good. I may try 3/4 Poplar, Cherry or Mahogany. Lots of little details in these puzzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badgerboy Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Cut this one this afternoon, quite challenging. I had to spend some time shading in the pattern drop outs to help me make sure and cut it correctly. 3/4 poplar, has not been dipped in finish yet. These puzzles are very Stave like.

Harvey's patterns are not really meant for young children. Small pieces. I make it a point at events to let people know they aren't for kids.

barb.j.enders Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Going to order a few. Thanks for the freebie. I was going to order the dogs but I find them a little creepy!! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Iggy, I am donating this puzzle to a local equine therapy farm a friend runs for their annual fund raising auction. They focus on helping veterans with PTSD and kids with Autism through interaction and riding of horses. They have asked me to cut a couple more.

Denny Knappen Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I just finishing cutting the freebee. Cut as the pattern suggests with one change. I did not do the veining on the little cubs ears. A very easy cut with Pegas #5R MGT blades on the Pegas Scroll Saw. May have to order more. meflick, Iguanadon, OCtoolguy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Why skip the veining in the ears....that was a part of the challenge? I did go to a smaller blade to do the ears as it was a tight cut. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go to a smaller blade to do the ears as it was a tight cut. I just wanted the piece to stay intact. Even with older kids, they tend to push the pieces together and sometimes break them.

Sycamore67 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 The Bears are not too fragile but the Bunny Pile has quite a few weak spots. I just finished cutting the Bunny Pile and cute but fragile. scrollingforsanity and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
