# 12

[Millwab]

Since I "retired" from my county fair gig after last fall I haven't been in the shop a whole lot.  Severe degenerative changes in my spine really limit my saw time.  I finally got back to it this week.  I started a series of puzzles for a couple of friends using Norman Rockwell baseball themed illustrations years ago.  This years' edition is #12 and probably the last since I've not been able to find any more pictures to use.  If I continue the series I'll have to branch out of Rockwell and use some other artists that the Post featured.  Since this is essentially a tray puzzle I didn't need to cut any locks into the pieces and as much as I could cut along the color lines of the picture.  Anyhow, here is the 2026 version.

Sorry to hear of your health problems limiting your time on your saw. I always loved Norman Rockwell’s artwork. Nice work on the puzzles. I’m sure the recipients love them.

I too love how Norman Rockwell's art on the Post covers always told a story by themselves without having to write anything to explain what he was saying in them. A great Idea for your puzzles. 

 I too am so sorry for you health problems keeping from you shop. I live in Southern Arizona and the daily temperatures are running above 108 degrees and up almost every day and my shop is in a double garage dedicated completely as my shop so now that the low temperature for the night only gets down to about 90 degrees, I too do not spend much time in mine either.
