Abstract

A jig-saw puzzle work board having a frame with a recess formed in one lateral surface of the frame. The bottom of the recess forms a work surface for the assembly of the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle. A padding of resilient foam material is provided which has dimensions permitting the padding to be removably fitted into the recess with a snug fit. A surface of the padding engages the puzzle pieces and applies them against the work surface. A lid retains the padding in the recess of the frame. The lid is removably affixed across the recess-provided surface of the frame by a novel arrangement of Velcro material and complementary Velcro material.
