My woodworking club has workshops at one of our members shops. Next door is a school for Autistic children. The school lets us park in their parking lot. One of our members proposed we make some simple puzzles for the children as Christmas presents. I have a scroll saw and most puzzles are cut with a scroll saw. However the puzzles will be painted with bright colors so grain matching is not necessary.
If you have any CC files of puzzles would you please post them here so I can cut them for the kids. I could find a lot of puzzles but it takes hours and hours to find them and convert them so they can be cut on my Shapeoko.
Cutting puzzles on cnc requires cutting each piece separately. So if you have created puzzles with each piece separately that would save me considerable time.
If you have something that young children can handle send it along. Puzzles were out first thought but send other things you think kids would like.
Here is a simple pic but classic connected puzzles would work.
Here’s a slightly cleaned up SVG version which should be ready to separate and cut out of some scrap (please test the fit first, and adjust as need be):
Try going to your browser and search the Internet for the following, “free royalty free jigsaw puzzle patterns for children” and get more than enough images for your workshop.
