    Thanks for the info Don! I will look into that. I ordered their project ply earlier.

    I ordered them from Garnet Hall at Sawbird.com. He is in Saskatchewan! (birth province)

    Bill, Thanks for your input. I did stack the boards in my garage with some wood spacing it. I will go and add some weights to them. I don't have anywhere to lay them out away from temperature swings. Winters here can be as low ad -40 C and summers can be +40C.

    Frank, I know the painting was s**t. I clearly wasn't in the right head space to cut this project. I have been having great difficulty in finding store bought poplar here in Winnipeg. Before pandemic, Lowes did carry wider & longer boards of poplar. When I went a year ago, all they had was 6" wide and short boards. Lowes was the only one of the big three that ever had the poplar. I do not own equipment, nor am I particularly interested in purchasing, to manufacture appropriately sized wood. I am in Canada, so ordering from Ochooch is not really an option. The exchange rate adds at least 30% and shipping is usually expensive.

    No offense taken, but WOW, that was pretty harsh! There are special puzzle blades, and I do have some, but for this type of puzzle the standard is a #5. The painting is the biggest reason I was planning to scrap it. I have had so many comments about sanding the paint off and restarting, that I will consider it in the new year. I had hoped to have this for a craft sale. The wood is poplar and normally takes paint/stain very well. This is from a small mill that had cut the slab, from a trunk that had been cut a couple of years ago. He had told me it was dry. Given that the boards I purchased have now cupped, I don't think they were dry enough. I was able to get this chunk out of a flat section. I posted mostly to show others that things don't always work out!

    Thanks Marg, I think that is what I am going to do. I know that I rushed it. I have a sale coming up next month and am worried about having stock. Hubby talked me off the edge by simply stating - "if you only have 3, then you only have 3! And then you might sell out!"

    Looking great. I think you have it down pat!

    Well, this is the latest off the saw and paint table. It will be heading to the bin. Not happy with it at all. There are a couple of pieces that will only fit from one direction. Yes, I pushed using a dull blade. And yes, I know I should have changed it earlier. This is also the first time that the Unicorn Spit has made the kerf narrower. I used a #5 Precision Skip on the poplar that I recently bought. I think the biggest issue is that the wood isn't a dry as it should have been. I guess it will be off to the store to buy some other wood.

    The post says free, but when I looked there were prices for everything.

    I haven't ordered blades from here, but I see the are now carrying Pegas. Nice to see another choice for the Pegas blades in Canada. I have ordered other items from here. Good service. https://store.workshopsupply.com/catalogue/

    It isn't for the best of reasons - a Celebration of Life, but it will be nice to see lots of family.

    I will be heading to Toronto at the end of the month for a family event. Perfect opportunity to get the Christmas gifts ready to take (instead of shipping). Toy car is Cherry with Maple bumpers - pattern from here. Tic Tac Toe is bb ply with maple covers. Original pattern from Al Baggetta. Added the box cover myself. Segmented snowman pattern from Steve Good. These are for my nieces & nephew so I asked them their favourite colours. Scarves are done in those. It was kinda surprising that 3 of the 4 liked the same colours. These are painted with craft paints. Buttons also painted, because I didn't have any small black ones. Everything is finished with Walrus Oil.

    Looks great. I will not be making one for hubby. He has waay to many to accommodate.

    There are no flaws in our work - it is all just design choices.
  25. barb.j.enders
    That is beautiful.
