Inspired by the puzzles made by Staves, I decided to try my hand at making my own with my jigsaw.

This is my third, and because I haven't seen an instructables about how to do it, I decided i would post about it.

For this you will need:

• A small sheet of plywood or scrap. (I used 3/8th" which was definitely overkill and cost me a jigsaw blade)
• An image that you want to make into a puzzle,
• A jigsaw,
• A few extra blades,
• Spray adhesive,
• Creativity,
• A little bit of patience

I got my jigsaw to do simple work with aluminium, using it as a cheap alternative to a bandsaw. besides needing to frequently replace the blades, it has slowly won me over by being able to cut tight curves and by the smaller kerf size(more on kerf later).
