About the Authors
A former schoolteacher and librarian, Judy found her niche in life as a woodworker. She bought her first saw in 1990 and, within the first six months, was cutting and creating her own designs. A winner of many design awards, Judy now sells her puzzles at art and craft shows around the country. Together with her husband, Dave, she has written numerous articles for Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts, and she teaches scroll sawing at the Woodcraft store in her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. In her spare time, Judy reads, keeps track of politics on TV, gardens, cooks, turns bowls on her lathe, and puts together other people’s flat puzzles.
Dave is officially retired after a career in programming and systems analysis. His interest in and experience with computers, databases, and spreadsheets make him suited to run the record-keeping side of Judy’s small business.
In his spare time, Dave reads, is active in the local Macintosh Users’ Group, writes the occasional article for the Wisconsin Alliance of Artists and Craftspeople newsletter, and tries to keep up with his wife.
As far as their books and magazine articles go, Judy does all the designing, scrollwork, sanding, and finishing. She also writes all the technical portions. Dave organizes the material, provides a first-draft version for Judy’s review, takes the in-process photos, does all of the typing, and interfaces with their editor. All in all, the distribution of duties capitalizes on both their strengths and provides an amicable distribution of labor.
Judy and Dave co-authored an article in the Summer 2005 issue of Scroll Saw Workshop magazine, titled “How to Select the Shows and Design your Booth for Maximum Sales.”
This book is the result of their third collaboration. Fox Chapel Publishing published their first book, Dinosaur Puzzles for the Scroll Saw, in August 2002 and their second book, Fantasy & Legend Puzzles for the Scroll Saw, in February 2005.
Introduction
Why interlocking and freestanding puzzles?
I like puzzles. These days, when I’m not making my own puzzles, I’m likely to be doing someone else’s. I didn’t, however, plan to go into business designing and making jigsaw puzzles. I bought a scroll saw because I have always liked wood and because I was fascinated by the scroll saw work I saw at an art show. In 1989, when my family and I made our annual trek to a nearby Renaissance Fair, I bought a five-piece puzzle as a souvenir. While it was attractive, it was not interlocking, so you really couldn’t pick it up without having it fall apart.
When I began designing my own puzzles, I decided all of them would be interlocking so that they could be handled. The puzzles in this book reflect that decision I made in 1990—all of them are interlocking. This means that, once you have the puzzles in a standing position, you can pick them up by any piece and turn them completely around without having them fall apart. But, you have to make sure you keep them vertical and don’t tip them!
The first project I cut out when I brought home that wonderful new toy, my first scroll saw, was a three-piece rabbit. As a woodworker of long standing, I used lumber I had in my workshop. It was an old piece of 1" x 4" pine. One of the things I liked about the puzzle was that it was thick enough to stand. The concept of a “freestanding” puzzle stayed with me as I moved on to using hardwoods.
Why animals?
Like everyone else I know who bought a scroll saw, I started not with my own designs but with patterns in the public domain from library books. I then traced the patterns onto the boards—which often took longer than cutting them out!
The first few original designs I did were of dinosaurs. But one can only design so many of anything before monotony sets in. I did three elephant patterns and then designed the Mama Rabbit with Babies puzzle (See the in-process photos in this book, here.).
