    My Husband and I love to do puzzles! We have a old square wood coffee table we like for "Puzzling" however the puzzle pieces always ended up on the floor! We separated pieces onto cookie trays and would pass them back and forth! In the end there would always be a couple pieces missing and we would be on our hands and knees with flashlights looking for those pieces that would complete our masterpiece! I told him it would be great to have a board with drawers to hold all the pieces and a nice flat top! He said I can do that and he went to work and made it just like that! He custom fit it to that coffee table, and it can be removed if we need it for something else! Brilliant!

    That is so clever. No more lost pieces. I bet he could sell those.

    Very clever. I also like how he put the lip around the edge to help keep those pieces on the board and off the floor. I like to do puzzles too but haven't done one in years.

    He should market these! I bought one of those felt mats years ago, used it once and threw it away. It was horrible! Couldn't move the pieces at all. This is really cool.

    Very nice and clever. He sure is handy to have around, isn't he?
    I agree, he should market the puzzle board with drawers.

    My Mom comes to visit for 6 weeks in the late winter and again in the late summer. While I sew and quilt she works on puzzles in my sewing room. I would love to have one of those tables or the plans so my DH could build one for us. Our cat thinks that puzzle pieces a just the best tasting treats, so we have to keep it covered while we are away from it. If your DH would draw out the plans I would be 1st in line to purchase.
