What size of blade # do you use to cut this puzzles.

wood-n-things · 10-24-2009, 07:54 PM

How many do you have done now?

You could make a hundred and not sell any, or you could make a hundred and sell out. Keep cutting-- the larger variety you have the more chances you have at having a successful show.

How much you going to try and sell them for?

I'm kinda of butting in to this thread, but I'm really into puzzles this year and I use #5s and #7s. Anything smaller or larger just gives me a lot of trouble and sharp pains in the back side.

I little practice cutting with scroll saw #5 spiral blade 3/4'' pine and there is big space between parts, not like on bluelucky pictures.

Lovely puzzles. I use FD-UR #3's for puzzles and have very little space between parts but they fit beautifully. I get a lot of slop with larger blades.

Nice puzzles. I recently started doing shows and I also have puzzles. To answer your question about quantities I shall have to rely on my limited experience.

Recent 2 day show:
Saturday sold many puzzles, Saturday night up to midnight cutting more puzzles that I sold out of.

Sunday sold one puzzle. LOL

My response is I don't have a clue...but seriously I do think the more the merrier. That said you don't want to have so many you can't display them well. If there is a theme to the show you're doing then make sure you play towards that. For example at one show I had a biker rights booth next mine. Cut a few motorcycles puzzles and whosh they were sold.

Let us know how it goes.

Adding my opinion about blade size to use I find #7 Reverse Double tooth cut quickly and leave a good gap. I used to use a smaller size but I find younger kids (target audience) have less trouble assembling with the larger kerfs.

Lord Bless!
