I have a 7 year old who LOVES puzzles and is amazing at them, but we live in an RV. I've been searching for a DIY "puzzle saver" for lack of a better word that can be stored behind our couch. This is perfect!! I don't have all the fancy tools, so do you have any tips for a novice. I'm going to attempt to make this with a friend.
Unfortunately I don't have any measurements for this project. If I were to build another, I would change the angle of the supports, this one works, but it's not quite right.
I used a basic white glue for the felt, sort of like what kids use in school... But I would not use it again, I would use a super glue, something that does not go on so thick. The felt should be avayat just about any fabric store.
Oh, hi it's me margie again it's a great idea of your to put the pieces in to inside of the puzzle easel and that way you don't lose them anymore I am always losing my puzzle pieces and i still do it but maybe this idea of yours great idea perhaps I wouldn't be losing my puzzle pieces i am always losing at least two pieces it's very much not happy with that at all I am would be so much grateful for your time and effort to help if you do puzzles caddy's for people who are in to puzzling likel am. Sincerely margie Sanchez you can start a company of your own or you can go into Amazon puzzle company or any company it's an idea. And that way make it easier for people to buy your puzzle easel Caddy. Sincerely miss margie Sanchez again thanks for your time and the beautifully done puzzle jigsaw Caddy.! Iam sure that your second mother just loved her puzzle jigsaw Caddy it's simply just beautiful and beautiful made. Sincerely miss margie Sanchez
Can someone please tell me why puzzle boards have to be so darn heavy? 😮💨 Isn't there another type of material these boards can be made out of? 🫤 Cedar or corkboard.
I margie, had a very hard time finding your puzzle easel but I found it i didn't give up, Andy i think that you live in Vancouver Canada. Iam i correct about that? I was in Vancouver Canada for the expo of 86,we all of us on the bus tour had a wonderful time it was a great experience and a very beautiful country! Margie Sanchez and I found the video of the puzzle easel on RUclips. Thanks for sharing your puzzle easel experience and i just love everything about it it's just perfect jigsaw easel handmade oh of course once I know exactly what and how much it is iam going to have to get my sister Elinor involved she's is going to have to order it for me and she's going to have to help me out with it a bit more, anyway happy puzzling, sincerely margie Sanchez.
I margie have looked at a lot of puzzles caddy's and I just fell in love with yours and it's simply beautiful and lovely and perfect jigsaw puzzle Caddy for me and I so much want to get it iam always all the year long doing a jigsaw puzzle for someone else sometimes for me but not very much often, i just love making my friends and family puzzles jigsaw as a gift esp. For them i love making people happy for no reason it doesn't have to be a occasion to do it l just like to do that it's puzzling working on a puzzle, hope that you like all my puzzle jokes, margie Sanchez
I made this one from my head so I don't really have any measurements or a cut list, but maybe I can recall the basics. The oak was 1 single board - 1x6 8ft long. About half a sheet of 1/16th inch plywood - I use Bintangor. Some peg board, about 36"x24" The interior supports are just some scrap pine, maybe 1 board about the same size as the oak... Or a little smaller. A bit of felt (24"x36") 2 hinges 1 clasp A small pile of picture frame holders. And a handle... I think that it. I may have to try to out together some plans for this, a few people have asked for more details.
Instead of 3d printing simple trays, you can save a lot of time by just getting them from a dollar store or Walmart. Unless you were fitting them exactly.
I tested it with a puzzle inside, the lid holds pretty tight and the puzzle stayed put - but I can see how it could easily move around if jostled too much - It would be better to keep it flat if you have to move your puzzle - thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.
I have considered making build plans for it but had not considered making and selling them. I imagine the shipping on one of these would be a lot, it is large!
@@LogHouseFarm yeah shipping can be a hassle. But there’s nothing quite like this out there. Simple boards are $70-90. Easel style are $100-150 without the storage. People are looking for puzzle/art boards now that they are staying home more often.
You were getting the burn marks on the oak for 2 reasons that I can see -- you weren't feeding the board through consistently, which allowed the blade to burn the side due to friction heat build up... however this should be so bad if you were using a ripping blade (fewer teeth) instead of a fine crosscutting blade (more teeth) (the second reason). When ripping (long cuts WITH the grain), it's best to use a dedicated ripping blade, and when cross cuts (against the grain) like you were doing with your crosscut sled, you should use a crosscutting blade. Regardless, this turned out great! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for the tips, I believe you are correct. The blade used was a hybrid that does an okay job of both but not a very good job at either. Feeding the board in at a steady pace is a struggle with such a long board, something for me to work on improving
I also think your riving knife is not perfectly in line with your saw blade. It looks that the riving knife has an offset to the left and pulls the material off your fence.
@@universalgenie good eye, it does occasionally catch a little on a peice as it feeds in. I have attemyto adjust it before, and it improves a bit, but still needs work. Thanks for commenting
@@LogHouseFarm I hope you will get it perfectly aligned. I had the same problem with my DeWalt 7492 out if the box. I glued a thin piece of metal on one side of the riving knife to correct that and get it in the middle of the saw blade.

Such an awesome & thoughtful gift! Extra son-in-law points!
Thank you!
What a cool idea!
It's lovely
I built a stationary jig-saw table with 4 draws for my sister in law last year, this might be this years project for her. Thanks.
That's awesome, if you make one similar I would love to see it!

Hi great video making one
How far along the suppprt struts do you anchor the raising arm please
Unfortunately I don't have any measurements for this project. If I were to build another, I would change the angle of the supports, this one works, but it's not quite right.
How do you get one? Margie Sanchez Calif San Diego ca clairemount area ❤
What kind of glue did you use to lay the felt? Where did you get the felt?
I used a basic white glue for the felt, sort of like what kids use in school... But I would not use it again, I would use a super glue, something that does not go on so thick. The felt should be avayat just about any fabric store.

I sell plans for these boards, you can make them from any material you deem strong enough
Tell me about your cross cut sled. Brand or diy. Thanks
DIY - here is the video for it - ruclips.net/video/eh-BbXFNufw/видео.html - let me know if you have any other questions and Thanks for watching!
How do you go to buying one and how much does it cost and where do you get it? Margie Sanchez

Can you please send me a list of supplies needed to make this
I made this one from my head so I don't really have any measurements or a cut list, but maybe I can recall the basics.
The oak was 1 single board - 1x6 8ft long.
About half a sheet of 1/16th inch plywood - I use Bintangor.
Some peg board, about 36"x24"
The interior supports are just some scrap pine, maybe 1 board about the same size as the oak... Or a little smaller.
A bit of felt (24"x36")
2 hinges
1 clasp
A small pile of picture frame holders.
And a handle... I think that it. I may have to try to out together some plans for this, a few people have asked for more details.
Instead of 3d printing simple trays, you can save a lot of time by just getting them from a dollar store or Walmart. Unless you were fitting them exactly.
Still cannot store the “puzzle easel” vertically when covered. At least not for puzzles in progress. Nice project tho
I tested it with a puzzle inside, the lid holds pretty tight and the puzzle stayed put - but I can see how it could easily move around if jostled too much - It would be better to keep it flat if you have to move your puzzle - thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Did you ever make build plans for this?
Not yet, but I really should.
@@LogHouseFarm Do you recall what width you cut the pieces too. This is a great project.
Glad to see you have plans available. This will make a great Christmas gift
Very nice! Are you planning on selling these?
I have considered making build plans for it but had not considered making and selling them. I imagine the shipping on one of these would be a lot, it is large!

@@theyliveyousleep8965 I should hire you for my sales department :-)
@@LogHouseFarm this would sell itself.
I’m better at R&D anyways, lol. If you ever decide to sell...put me down for one :)

Maybe not, always working on making things better. Thanks for your honest feedback.
