Aries figurine with a jigsaw machine

Artistic sawing of wooden crafts is one of the most popular types of decorative art available to a creative person who does not have special education and training. Original master-sawers create patterned lace and decorative crafts, toys and home decoration from wooden blanks and plywood for use and fun. Sawing with a modern jigsaw machine greatly facilitates the work of the master, since such equipment allows you to get even cuts with excellent quality machined surface. By adjusting the speed of the machine, and by changing the thickness of the saw, you can achieve perfectly accurate cuts even on thick wood.
Craft, made independently, keeps the warmth of the hands of the master and his good energy, so such a gift is doubly valuable. And if it is also a magical symbol, such as the zodiac sign, for example, then it is endowed with a special power that will not only please the owner, but also protect him.
Start work by printing a picture that will become a model for future crafts. The drawing should be clear and made in full size.
The resulting image must be glued with a temporary glue or regular flour paste on a prepared wooden base of the appropriate size and allowed to dry for an hour. In this case, a dry pine board 20 mm thick is used for work.
Then we go directly to the cutting process. To do this, a Silver Reverse No. 5 file is installed in the clamps of the machine. Start work from the edge located as close as possible to the glued pattern.
Workpiece evenly, without much pressure, we move along the horizontal surface to the file along the line of the picture, precisely repeating the outline of the image. At sharp bends and sharp corners, the file should perform frequent short movements, and the workpiece should move more slowly to properly adjust the direction of cut.
When the product is cut along the contour, you can proceed to the implementation of internal cuts, strictly adhering to the intended line. Thus, we will get not just a figure, but an ingenious puzzle that will be interesting to assemble for both children and adults.
Step by step, we will split our toy into separate parts, trying to accurately and accurately perform the cut.
At the end of work on the machine, 14 intricate details should be obtained, which are quite vaguely reminiscent of the original model.
The next stage of work is the removal of glued paper from wooden parts. This is easy to do with a brush dipped in water. The paper soaks and is free to peel off a wooden surface.
Now the parts should be dried a little and proceed to grinding with sandpaper No. 320. Processing is carried out along the wood fibers until the surface of each part becomes smooth. We carefully cut the slices, as these are the most difficult areas that require special care and patience.
The polished parts are covered with water-based furniture acrylic varnish, which dries quickly, preserves the natural color of the tree and does not turn yellow over time. This type of coating is environmentally friendly, which is especially important because our crafts, in addition to the decorative function, plays the role of a children's toy.
After the varnish has dried, you can proceed to the assembly of the craft.
Such a figure will be a good gift for both an adult and a child. The puzzle toy will teach children concentration and logical thinking, develop memory, imagination and fine motor skills of fingers. Assembling the model for a while will introduce an element of competition into fun entertainment and will cause a lot of positive emotions among the players.
