Started the African Map Puzzzle

Kids are back at school so I can make progress on the African Map Puzzle.

First job was to cut the ply as large as possible.

This is the largest I can cut out on the scroll saw

Next stick painters tape to surface of the ply. This blue tape is dual purpose. It lubricates the blade and reduces the chances of burning the wood as it cuts and it facilitates the removal of the pattern.

 

The pattern is then stuck on top of the blue tape ready for cutting out

 

 

Cutting out completed.
