I am elbows deep into cutting a BIG PUZZLE. It is so much fun to be able to spend a long day in the puzzle studio.
My scroll saw with two  blocks of uncut jigsaw puzzle resting on the cutting table. In the background is my green set uptray and the partially cut jigsaw puzzle.

Here's an idea of how I can make your puzzle truly for you! This puzzle was ordered for a summer holiday at a lakeside cottage. No wifi was part of the deal. Puzzles, books and vinyl records filled the evenings.
Jigsaw puzzle pieces cut to spell out the names "Charlie", "Linnea " and"Pat".

Here is a photo of a puzzle being "de-constructed" . There is the newly cut and finished puzzle on the left and the pile of pieces at the top. On the right is the selection of whimsies I cut into that puzzle. Once the pieces are all separated I box it and mail it out to the waiting puzzler!🇨🇦❤🇨🇦

Another custom piece! This one is made from a poster won years ago at the Pig Races held during the Tunbridge Worlds Fair in Tunbridge Vermont. One of a kind and still treasured by the owner. #Vermont #puzzles #Jigsaw #TunbridgeWorldsFair #SmythPuzzles
Poster shows a large black pig. His name is Tyrone the Terrible. His motto is Born to Run.
