Nicely done. Be sure and sign and date this one. It will be a good reference point for 6 months and years from now.

Nice!
The more you do it (freehand cutting), the more you will notice the things that work or don't work for you and you will develop your own style.

Keep a cuttin'.

Great start, Rich. Does it lock together well?

Keep it up. Freehand makes it a lot easier and you can be much more creative. I'm anxious to see further stuff.

I agree. Be sure to keep this one - and all of your efforts, for that matter.

All locks well except the upper lefthand corner, which is where I started. I is only 5"x7" and the pieces are kind of small. My wife put it together and enjoyed it, a vote of confidence !! I may have used more locks than I had to, but it works well
