I can't add to what has been said above, but I will confirm it. Make sure the blade is 90 degrees. I did a puzzle where the blade was just off. Some pieces fit in front and other fit in through the backr. Don't push the blade because it will bow the blade. I would suggest starting with 1/2" thick wood. It is a little more forgiving on blade deflection and if the blade is not perfect 90 degrees. I use a #5 blade on 3/4" and less material and a #7 blade on thicker stock. Puzzles are a great way to practice following a line. No one notices if there was blade drift.

Great job, congratulations.

I use painters tape most of the time. it is easier to get the pattern on that way. The only time that I use packing tape is when I am doing fretwork. I have not figured out a good spray adhesive so the packing tape keeps the pattern from peeling away as I cut.

Thanks for the tip.

Whatever you do, test it on scrap first. I was doing a teacher gift where all the students signed a puzzle piece. I tested a couple of pens and finishes before so the signatures did not bleed/run when I put a coat of poly over it. Even then I only did a light coat.

It happens on my work computer. The site might want to load some cookies for tracking purposes. My work has a pretty restrictive anti-virus, I cannot even look up butt hinges without it blocking me.

Looks great, nice work.

I have an air brush setup that I love. What you are making is too big to use an air bush on though. There are a lot of HVLP for paint and lacquer and I would research those. The cleaning can be a little bit time consuming but really isn't that bad. I finish large quantities at a time and between coats just run cleaner through it. I would also buy a separate gun for paint and lacquer. You really do not have to take the gun apart and clean every little thing. I do a deep clean of my gun about once a year.

Well done! Where did you find the nativity pattern? I my in-laws love to collect things like that.
