On 1/8th ply I would use a No. 1 or 2/0 blade.

Black Palm wood?

Try increasing the blade tension. Are you sure that you are not putting sideways pressure to the wood when cutting, this is the most common cause of puzzles only coming apart one way.

Drill bit sharpening jig?

The top items in the first picture are mitre spring clamps, used for making frames. Marcos types quicker than me. :D

Hi Spence, not sure what type of spray glue you're using but try using a repositional spray glue on the back of the pattern then attach to the wood, no need for masking or blue painters tape it comes off easily and if any residue is left it'll be very little and will come off with a quick sand...

I personally would make one good one then if possible you could try to repair the broken pieces mended. Reading Wallace's and other folks restoration threads it is possible to weld cast. Whatever you decide good luck with it.

I can see them.

Inspired by Ron Aylor and reading Peter Follansbee's book, Joiners Work, here's a box that I've just finished. It's all Oak and glue, no nails or screws just Oak dowels. It measures approx. 17" long by 10" wide and 5" high by 5/8ths thick. Finished with a coat of Danish Oil and then buffed up...
