Making Puzzles Three Different Ways / Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

I thought a puzzle would be a good project to use my new Mecpow X3 Laser Engraver on and while I was at it, I decided to make a few other puzzles by hand as well. Puzzles make great laser engraver projects and they are also a great way to practice your scroll saw skills. They also make great gifts.
I hope this video is an inspiration and gives you some good ideas for some projects of your own.

The one tool i always have issue with is my scroll saw. Lol great build and showing the different ways to make the same product 👍 and solid red my favourite.

[@boydstongrove]

Thank you, the solid is my favorite as well. I'm not the best at the scroll saw, but I guess that's why I tend to use it so much, just so I can get better with it. The puzzle was definitely a great practice.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great little projects. Thanks for sharing. I'm a puzzle(d?) man but in spite of that I like the last one the best. Simplicity wins, life is already complicated enough.

[@boydstongrove]

Haha, that's true about life, I have been toying with the idea of taping it back off and re-spraying the area with the pieces.

[@Tripring2000]

I like all 3 but the solid red is my favorite of them. Nice work! You have inspired me to try making a puzzle with my scroll saw.

[@boydstongrove]

That's awesome! Let me know how it turns out!

[@jimmyturner5589]

I am not a puzzle person either, I think all of them look good but for me, it like the larger, natural heart myself. Thanks.

[@boydstongrove]

YES! I've actually been trying to think of other simple shapes / pictures I can make into puzzles. They would make great gift for kids.

[@larrystone5749]

I really like the rustic look but also like the one with the big pieces good job and thx for sharing Keep building

[@boydstongrove]

Thanks, and thank you for watching!

[@boydstongrove]

Had a lot of fun with this one, learned a lot what to do and what not to do. Let me know which one is your favorite. Thanks for watching!

[@MarthaMarcum]

I like the clean one best.

[@boydstongrove]

Yeah, I'm leaning that way as well.

[@mattparsley4004]

Awesome video. I like the clean look myself. I have made a lot of scroll saw puzzles over the years. I like the idea of the puzzle going around the heart. I was thinking about a 10 piece puzzle on the outside of the heart with one of each of the 10 Commandments on the puzzle pieces. I always enjoy your videos

[@hansdegroot8549]

That's a nice idea. I'll keep it in mind (and maybe steal that from you one day)

[@boydstongrove]

Thank you! And I was actually thinking of adding something to each of the pieces of the larger scale one, that's a good idea.
