What brand is your scroll saw
Another suggestion: After applying the picture to the plywood and applying a couple coats of shellac, turn the plywood over and draw the puzzle parts out with a pencil. It will help keep the parts uniform is size. Then cut the puzzle apart with the picture side down on the scroll saw table. When cutting, use a reverse-tooth blade to avoid tear-out.
Good to see some more scroll saw ideas. Sure, they are mentioned in plenty of books, but seeing it happen on the video makes a big difference.
