Making a 225 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle - (Day 5) 7 Scrapwood Challenges in 7 Days - ep47 

Day 5 Seven Scrapwood Challenges in Seven Days. Check back tomorrow for the next episode or check out the previous ones if you haven't seen them already. :)

The patience on cutting those strips. Wow. Just wow.

You patience is astounding. :) Great work as always!

Man you seem to tear through more wood than anyone else yet that scrap pile never gets any smaller

Seven days of scrap wood challenge is like an early Christmas present for me.

"It took me about 3 hours to cut them all but somebody with more experience would do that faster" HAHAHA!! And what about patience...? 😅

I wish I had your levels of patience and perseverance.

This whole project looks like an exercise in extreme patience 🤣! There's a reason scroll saw gather dust. Very nice outcome though!

"It should be much easier .. no! As bad if not worse." I am dying! Love your style

Wow! That was a labor intensive project. Kudos to you for not going off the deep end when the tape tried to scuttle the puzzle. It came out great. After all that and not taking a reference picture beforehand - brave move. :-) As someone who also has a scroll saw and makes puzzles (not that many pieces, though), Look into thin spiral blades. They make that kind of thing a bit easier since you don't have to twist the puzzle around constantly while cutting. Not good for everything, but they have saved my sanity a few times.

Ridicules level of patience, inspiring and unreachable at the same time.

I sow a lot of woodworker... I’ll follow you from 2017 and I think you’re one of the best on RU-vid! Genius and patience! I hope you’ll make a thousand videos! Bye from Sicily! Carlo

You could technically rename your channel to "wood therapy with Neil Paskin!" Amazing as always! 😍

You should hold a guinnes record for patience and determination in woodworking. Hat off to you man

I’m not sure if it’s available in Australia but there’s a product called “frog tape” that would have eliminated the tape problem you were having. Regular masking tape like the tape you were using has a 3 day release which means after 3 days the adhesive bonds to the surface instead of just lightly adhering but frog tape has a 21 day release which means if you leave the tape on even for 3 weeks it’ll still peel right off. It’s expensive stuff but worth it!

Next time use a scrollsaw wire, this wil be a lot faster since it cuts on all sides. You won't hate to turn the workpiece speeding up te proces.

"Mom! There's an aussie in the wood pile again!" PS Love you Scrapwood Challenge theme and videos! Cheers!

What amazes me the most of your projects is the sheer patience you need to make them. The many little details and time needed to make them would drive most crazy just by planning them, and yet you mke it look so soothing and kind of fun. Side note: I don´t know how it was made in older times but I belive modern jigsaws are cut by CNC machines. Still, point still valid: Not many would dare to test thier patience by cutting the jigsaw this way, which is astounding IMHO

I only found this out recently, but tape manufactures actually publish the "days of clean removal" in the data sheet. Apparently most masking tape will "bake" on after a few days.

Brilliant, I could have cried for you when the tape didn't come off.

Just what we needed at the end of the worst year in living memory! An advent challenge from Neil Paskin! Thanks Neil...from your devoted followers.

Nice projekt! In my youth, I worked for some years with construction cleaning. A surprising amount of billable time came from removing tape that had been covering things for too long. When tape was on things like hardwood floors or around windows, it even happened quite a lot that the paint/laquer underneath followed with the tape. Tape that stay on for some time can be a huge problem - especially if its somewhere there are lots of sunlight or where people walk a lot.

Great work! My mother makes wooden jigsaw puzzles as well; I'm not familiar with her technique but it looks like you took a good approach to ensuring consistency and accuracy in the cuts. I look forward to the last two projects in the series.

🤯 My mind is just blown away by the dedication and patience you put into each project. You sir are extremely talented at the work you do and I appreciate the video you put up for viewers to see.

I love to watch your scrapwood challenges. You have unlimited amounts of patience and perseverance, not mentioning good old craftsmanship.

On the FIFTH day of Scrapwood week Neil made something neat! Five WOOD Puzzles! Four flipping clocks! Three hinged stools! Two hand-carved bowls! And a snowflake, cut from shavings!

Scrap wood challenge was one of the things I would giggle with glee to see every week or so. It's amazing how much I missed them. Please don't leave us behind mate!

Very nice puzzle. Btw. I made four of the stars from your challenge day one. I used just plain old paper and I didn't glue them, like you did. Instead I used a common stapler to join the corners. And in the middle of the star I joined the pieces with a ring. It turned out great. Now I have some very nice gifts for my family. Thank you for the idea. :)

You have the woodworking patience of a saint! Amazing.

Greetings from Humboldt County California. I know it’s a 2 year old video, but it’s new to me. Excellent job sir 😊. Mostly I’m impressed that you point out what goes wrong showing that we don’t have to achieve perfection, extremely helpful for a recovering perfectionist like myself. Very much enjoy your narration style and thanks for the extra time you put in to making your videos that give them that polished look.

First wooden puzzle by scrap wood in the world and it's without number behind. Superb rare and priceless. Bravo 👏

As a puzzle lover I just have to say that looked fantastic ❤️

End users and history: Jigsaw puzzle. Manufacturers: Die-cut puzzle. Pask: Scrollsaw puzzle.

"I wasn't very fast, it took about 3 hours." I would have counted 2 days as fast for that! Yikes. Looks beautiful. Love your scrapwood challenges x

Really appreciate the hard work you put in on all of your projects Mr. Pask!

Your patience levels are next level, Neil. Nice work. The tape sticking and leaving its glue behind would have been pretty maddening. You did well not to set fire to the thing :)

As a puzzle maker, I really enjoyed your video. Well, I enjoy all your videos but this one especially. Thanks.

Very cool, Neil! You never fail to amaze me.

Another beautiful piece. You always surprise me. When I saw jigsaw puzzle in the title I thought, no way.. yep, you did it.. and beautifully.

Most channels would have eventually gotten to the point of "and now we're gonna throw it into our 1k+ laser cutter and cut out the pattern". You did this with way more patience than I would ever have, bravo sir.

These will definitely be the best 7 days of 2020. Amazing work, Neil.

Love this serie!

Wow it's amazing Neil and to be honest, a puzzle doesn't always have to be challenging as it's a pastime as well. The grain looks beautiful. Great video mate

I make (with much fewer pieces) these for my kids, they draw a picture onto some paper that I glue to the backing. My shoulders are hurting just watching all that cutting on the scroll saw.

Day 1, prepare the wood. Day 7, finish cutting with the scroll saw.. Wow, just wow.

Vacuum bag as a clamp!😲 (Maybe others have seen it before but that blew me away.) The bookended woodgrain almost makes it look like a rolling landscape. Yeah, I can imagine it's right well challenging to put together. 👍

I've said it before and i'll say it again. The man has the patience of Job to stand there for three hours and swivel the wood around to cut it and then stand there for two more hours to remove all the glue. Great work as always.

When I saw you add tape to the surface I thought, okay he's gonna use a laser cutter, he's not gonna cut those out with a scroll saw or something. And then you cut them out with a scroll saw! You have that Jedi patience.

Thank you so much for your channel. It's motivated me to get back into woodworking, I love how fun your projects are. And your voice is so lovely and dad-like

Outstanding, gutsy build, beautiful and complex. Got my Puzzle Master G-son (6yrs) a 300 pc for Xmas but this is next up from G-pa's shop! Thank You for sharing the tips and tricks of this with us.

One of my favorite qualities in a maker is perseverance. I have seen that a lot in your videos and especially in this 7 day challenge. The way you move past changes/ small mistakes and don't falter in your attitude or level of perseverance is beautiful.

Your absolutely OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!!!!!!!!! What a challenge of time and patience!!!!! I Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great work and Video's!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The glue up transition was beautifully done.

I'm extremely impressed. I thought for sure it would take a lot longer than 3 hours to jigsaw all that out. Looks amazing!!!!! I'm so glad I found your channel I'm in awe watching everything you do!!!!!!!

Earlier tonight I rushed a project on the lathe and botched it. Needed this video to remind me to enjoy the journey. You sir are a role model in patience!

Scrolly Mackerel! What patience... 7 days is really pushing it for regular blue tape. But fwiw, there are masking tapes that have up to 28 day clean removal. Another amazing project and video. Thanks.

This dude always does project with the most ridiculous amount of patience. CUTTING 225 JIGSAW PIECES? Damn.

How cool! I think I could make yesterday's stool but this is beyond my ability. It's beautiful and I love the idea of just the wood and it's grain being the image to reassemble.

Amazing. Your patience is unbelievable.

Awesome! Perfect gift for the puzzlers in your life and a perfect way to use those scraps of interesting wood you just cannot part with.!

Neil, you videos are totally satisfying to watch. I’m always learning something new.

Thanks, man! This was educational on a couple levels! So... I discovered sometime back, similar to this video's illustration, that the "cure time" as actually required by most clear-coats is NOT all together true. The time-frame posted on the container is "dry to touch" only. There's still another couple days required for "hardening up" levels of curing, especially important on projects that require tape or adhesives applied onto the clear-coat. Keeping a piece warm and stable for at least 3 extra days (and sometimes 5) will help the clear-coat totally cure into a chemically inert state, and THEN the tape shouldn't stick as much. Some adhesives involved in tape will also interact with the chemistry of clear-coats, and can do some interesting and strange things... from "greying" to a weird polymerization process that creates(?) little waxy or rubbery balls of "goop" seemingly entirely to add frustration... In any case, this craft is a steady experience in education. We never stop learning, and once in a while, learning costs us in time and resources. ;o)

This one is really great. Fantastic idea, perfect execution! Well done Neil.

Patience is a virtue, and unfortunately not a virtue I master to the degree you seem to always do. Watching your videos is always extremely motivating though and I always walk away with some great tips, new ideas, inspiration, and fantastic design ideas. Thanks for the effort of sharing, and Merry Christmas.

Unit of pressure is Pascal and unit of patience is Paskin. No one has 1 Paskin of patience except Neil.

Brilliantly done Neil, great jigsaw for woodgrain lovers !!

The only thing missing is each piece being sanded (as well). Unbelievable effort and patience... Should be renamed the '7 week challenge' - for this puzzle alone. Looks very good, I especially like the border!

Ode to patience. Great work!

I think we can all learn a lesson. Patience, discipline and perseverance. Thank you!

What a fabulous gift this would make! Your projects always blow me away.

Beautiful. Absolutely love the scrap wood challenges!

Daily pask I'm starting to really enjoy this

If you read the label on the masking tape when you get it, it usually says how many days you can expect to leave it on before removal becomes a huge problem. I only learned this after leaving tape on something too long. I suppose that's probably how almost everyone learns about this.

Really nice project and especially so using scrap wood. Having the timber on just one side of the MDF is a bit of a concern. After a while you may find the jigsaw curls up. We learnt, when applying veneer, you need to balance the piece and have equal thicknesses of veneer on both sides of the MDF "backer" (And MDF is an excellent backer). Great series and thanks for the vid. Cheers, David

Wow!! Major respect on cutting them all out. That an major project in time and patients awesome work. Your scrap wood projects are my favorite this to watch.

After I don't know how many hundreds of videos--somehow I never get tired of the theme song.

Wow! Your patience is incredible!!!!

1:55 i wouldn't have made it look like that either

Thanks so much for all the content with run up to the holidays!!! Great to watch in the evening! Happy Holidays!!

Great idea, good job! Masking tape is a perfidious bugger. It gives me grief even when I have to remove it from polished knife blades. The glue just hardens after a few days. I have yet to find a better alternative though.

Maaan, that guy is insane! If i were doing that... it d be a 2x2 puzzle 😂

Fantastic patience and craftsmanship, loving this week of videos so far 👍

You have a near infinite amount of project ideas and I greatly respect that. They're always executed well also! Thanks for the video!

Simply amazing. Your ideas and talent have always inspired me

It’s the imagination that astounds me. Great video once again Merry Christmas all.

Such a great project. Brilliant work as per usual

You have got the patients of a saint and the skill of a master craftsman 👍

I haven't seen the other two remaining Scrapwood Challenges yet, and I will edit this comment if my statement changes . . . but so far this is one of my favorite Scrapwood Challenge videos; not only in the 7 days but of the whole 47 ones so far! I really really enjoyed this video. Great job!

admiring your patience. well done

this is another awesome Idea for your Scrapwood Challenge. Thanks for sharing!

Most excellent project, well done. I had to pause in the middle for a moment because I've got that exact same Ryobi scroll saw and by sheerest coincidence I had to use it the other day and, like you, had to brush and blow much accumulated sawdust off it first!

Once again a big bow to your patience! I would like to try my hand at puzzle making one day and then I will definitely come back to your video once again.

THIS IS AMAZING!! you’re constantly tackling projects id never even consider. fantastic work!!

That hand pump vacume bag blew my mind, so usefully

Absolutely loved it. Well done.

You are killing it with these videos! Great work!

I have watched this like 5xs already it's mesmerizing

I was waiting for you to whip out a new Cnc or laser cutter. Not whip out a dusty Ryobi scroll saw! Hats off to you sir, you’ve got killer patience!

You are crazy! Such a nice project. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.

Wow - you have patience of a saint. Great project
