Truly awesome, Carter. I know you say it's easy, yet somehow very few people have the knack for getting it just right the way that you do. You're an exceptionally gifted scroller and I feel very privileged to see you in action through the medium of your video.

Thank you for taking the time to share this video. I don't comment often on your puzzles but really do enjoy your work. I don't comment often because I am not worthy!! LOL One day perhaps I'll give the puzzles a try but living vicariously through your work is about all I can do right now. Thanks again. Truly amazing!!

Andy

Thanks Carter for that video....now I see how you do the edges. When I made a few I was making little V cuts around the perimeter, but your way looks much better with no overcuts. Thanks for the lesson and pleasure watching a pro.

That was a great video detailing your process and I am amazed at how easy you make it look (I just tried one and it's not easy). But it is fun and I'll try it again. Thank you for showing us your techique.

Carter-

Thanks for the video. It is just amazing that you can cut such small pieces and with detail. You sent me one of those a couple of years ago and I show it to everyone and they are truly amazed.

So once again, thanks for the video and the puzzle.

-Bill

Carter, that is an amazing video!!!!! I bow to the master. Thank you for sharing your technique. 8/0 blades at low tension and speed and you can still control the bowing that results from the side pressure that you do not exert. I am impressed. I have to raise the tension when I am using a small, 2/0 puzzle is the smallest I have, blade and therefore break a few. I must try it your way.
