Part 1: Alligator and grasshopper
This is the plate of my Scroll saw. What I am going to do for this project is I am going to cover it with a couple sheets of white paper and a playing card. I have a couple of reasons for this. First is I don’t want any small pieces I will be cutting to fall through. Which in actuality there is not small pieces per say, rather the little ends of the “puzzle pieces” .

Part 2: Alligator and Grasshopper
My next step has been taken and that is to cut out all the inside pieces with the starter holes.
