Hi, thanks for the help- answers, to stoolby I have cut about 6 Today, the pattern I got by typing in Lizzard puzzels and scrolling down until you see the same pattern, printed it out, squared the print up with a steel rule and knife then copyed it 4 times, took it to photocopying shop and repeat copied it till I now have 1 sheet with 12 lizards on it, then coppyied the 12 sheet 3 times. When I was in Lagos( portugal) they were being sold for 15 euros each, they were a good seller, not that I am interested in selling anything, just doing it for fun.
this Morning I made a clamp with 3 blanks in it 80 by 35 red cedar, put 2 6mm rods on the outside, with a 10mm gap at each end to thread the blade.nuts on rods clampings the 3 together. This made large mass to swivell around.
so far used FD- UR no 3. dead easy, this looked a lot harder than it is, used magnifying light( same one that filled the house with smoke) .No holes in puzzle, you just saw from one end to the other.learnt not to clamp nuts up too hard as it reduces the gaps in puzzle, making it harder to put together. should have had a go instead of being frightened of it.
claws have little rounds at the end.
As I said I have a sheet with 12 lizzards on it , If anyone wants a coppy , and I can figure out how to scan and send one.
Thanks for all your replies, when Mike sends the FD-polar No5 next week , will give them a go, I think you need a fair gap to make assembly easy. Regards
