I wouldn't mind betting that we can all hold our hands up to doing that. I know I have.
Still looks good though
Well done you

Is that a wooden or cardboard jigsaw? If cardboard, it has a very nice finish to it...haven't seen those ones before.

A very good example about helping each other is going on right now with me and Paul, a Super Moderator on this forum.
Paul, along with a number of people in this site have helped a lot of people here. One thing new members often don;t realise is that Paul has posted some instructional videos on YouTube.
Simple hints and tips stuff.
I wonder if other members have done this also. And I wonder if the moderators have considered creating a DSF YouTube channel with collected how tos and advice?
